theymos and his amazing humor Indeed, these jokes he has made add a different atmosphere every year. But how do we not have the most online members stat on April 1, that's surprising Let's see what kind of joke awaits us next year

It was like drowning in code soup But it's not boring when dealing with something valuable. Thats the spirit for move forward

Clever use of anchors.

Wish you would've used a difference of several months or years when it came to dates! I couldn't even make an estimated guess on merit deployment

yeap, it's clever but not easier Many different contents can be prepared with anchors and count is depend on your imagination. I have one more content idea, and I'll most likely post it at Christmas. In this way, it will not be in the test logic, I will not give spoilers anyway Wait and see. You'll have fun I believe

I chose the dates close because I wanted it to look a little bit tricky. However, if there will be a similar content from now on, I will keep the range of dates wide And every question can be find by searching it through the forum

[krishnaverma]

Thanks to my weak memory, I can never pass this test.

you can pass this test by searching mate. This is not just a test. As I cleared before, purpose of this content is "to be informed, raise awareness and learn about what happend in the history here". Try your best and pass it

I agree that this is not just a test to see if your true rank is hero member as what is shown in the account or not. I would say that this is more than just a test since the questions are history about Bitcointalk like the day that theymos implemented merit, Bitcointalk Bot Notifier and more. To some people, this surely bring back memories of the day it happen like the April Fools' Day. This could also be to test your knowledge if that's what they are looking for and also for fun.

[Agbe]

My true rank is Sr. Member and it can be seen from the result below. There are some questions that are complicated so I choose randomly. These questions are logical to deal with. OP, you will be a good examiner in your time. You really tried for objective question to test the for ranks.

Thank for the test, it was fun and time consuming. Score me and rate me as well let me see my performance

[Shamm]

you can pass this test by a searching mate. This is not just a test. As I cleared before, the purpose of this content is "to be informed, raise awareness and learn about what happened in the history here". Try your best and pass it

Yes you are right that mate this thread test is very useful to us here in our community. because it is part of our history or let's say to test ourselves if we know what's happening like in question number two which this year implemented (OP)  next month author of the thread which is for me it will help to know immediately if who is the author of the thread.

Thanks to my weak memory, I can never pass this test.

Mate Try your best don't give up easily cause after you answering the test then you can search it if you got it right and also remember that it will help you to know more about in our community.

[Edwardard]

Score me and rate me ~

Dont post answers openly, you'll be treated as a party pooper 😁

[SFR10]

By the way, some questions may seem too easy. But is it really so?

I don't mean to brag, but despite answering a single question it insists I'm a Legendary member ^{[I wonder what it'd say if I answer the rest (first 14) ]}
On a serious note, I don't think we should ignore the massive missing data ^{[roughly eight and a half years]} for question #9 to base it on the limited data that we have...

Thanks to your feedback I will add one more rule As all mothers say that the plate will be finished, all the questions must be solved in order    Honestly, this is one missing part that I couldn't find a solution for this situation. When I want to do something interactive in this cms, this is the max thing that i could.

For the 9th question, yes, such a situation may be in question, I do not know the full details. But as lawyers says, everyone is innocent until proven guilty; until proven we have another day which has higher online member this is the most online member's day

11) What is the meaningful signature / avatar / social media campaign launched by NotATether?

Thank you very much for the correction and I apologize for making such a mistake 

[Pmalek]

Interesting!

I didn't want to conduct any research when I started the test, and I only wanted to rely on my memory. I messed up with the 4th question. I could swear that I read not that long ago that Ratimov was on top of some list of users with the most successfully handled reports. I guess that's old news and the new leader is ... take the test and find out yourself.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Clever use of anchors.

Dang, great to see you active--I don't know if you took a break or I've just been missing your posts, but either way....we were both negging shitposters into the graveyard before the merit system was created so you'll always have a place in my heart.

I've been here for years and still suck at forum trivia, even the date of the merit system creation (which is important to me).  I know it was in Jan. 2018 but always forget the exact date.  Ah, well.  At least it exists no matter if I can remember dates.

To all you newbies: if you stick around bitcointalk long enough, you'll be as senile as I am--and I'm not even old enough to be senile.  There's just so much going on here with so many personalities that it's nearly impossible (except for the geniuses we have here) to keep track of info like the facts in the OP.  Or maybe it's just me.

I'm here for the free education.
You are an extension of those around you.

OP loved this presentation, very creative.

Interesting thread.

I happen to know the right answers to a greater number of the questions even without searching, but each time, or which ever answer I click, right or wrong, it takes me to either brand new or newbie  , I want to believe that this is probably because am on mobile, I will check again when I am on my PC.

Overall, this is indeed very educative and as well, informative, kudos

[meser#]

I'm glad to hear that many of you like this thread

I tried to find latest official announcement for top reporters and I adapted the last official announcement to question which published by @theymos. But as @Ratimov said, this information is little bit old. I think the top of the list has already changed

Nope, because you are secretly brand new or newbie don't hide it from us Jokes aside, it's probably a mobile issue. I tried with 2 different devices and its happen only once and when I refresed the page its resolved..
