To give people time to enter, this will start on August 1st, UTC at midnight.

Rules: To stay in the competition, you must:

  • answer an unanswered question not asked by you AND receive an upvote for your answer.
  • once the upvote has occurred (and not earlier)), edit the latest answer on this page for the date in question, and someone else can review and confirm.
  • IF there are no unanswered questions at all (hah), then and only then can you answer a previously-answered question for your 'day'.
  • IF the question you answer is marked as a duplicate on the same 'day', your answer is invalidated.

Each 'day' will last for 48 hours. So August 1st-2nd inclusive is a day, August 3rd-4th is a day, and so on.

Miss a 'day' and you're out.

However, please - if we finally hit a day where you can't answer something with a proper answer, ie with a citation or evidence or something useful to the author, don't post a weak answer on a question.

I'll provide the sample answer template below for August 1st. If you intend to enter, put your name there now.

  • What about closed for a reason other than duplicate?

  • If we get our upvote after the end of the "day", does it still count? For example, if I post an answer on August 1 that gets its first upvote on August 3, does that count as an Aug 1 answer, an Aug 3 answer, or nothing at all?

  • @RobertColumbia - it needs to have the upvote by the end of a 'day'. (they almost always do in comps as people review them). I mean your answer might suck, and it doesn't deserve an upvote, so that's the criteria we have for now :)

  • @gparyani might think on that one. Might just have to be if it's closed at all. Thoughts?

  • If you answer on August 2, does the day run to the end of August 2 or August 3?

    @Willeke - August 2nd. You need to answer each 'day', and they go Aug1-Aug2, Aug3-Aug4 and so on.
