Howdy, folks! We made it through another month. Sorry the fun stats are a bit late this month, I’ve been busy working on [redacted] but I’ve finally found some time to put these together! :slight_smile:

The Elite

As usual, we start off by congratulating everyone who answered every question, and answered all of them correct. It’s a bigger list than usual this time, maybe because it was a short month, or maybe @Professor-Capsaicin-Spiceworks made a few too many easy ones in February? :thinking: I’ll chalk it up to y’all being on your A game, though!

Congrats to @steven-lunsford, @simonsheard4498, @scub, @ode2joy, @cafe0411, @Colts, and @CharlesHTN! You can ignore that @Josh-J-Spiceworks guy… I’m still not convinced he’s not cheating somehow. :wink:

Everyone Stats

How many of y’all read my blurbs? Is it worth writing them, or should I just get right into the stats? Let me know below… Although, there’ll obviously be a bias towards folks that read them now! :joy:

This month we had an even higher number of unique participants than in January while still having a shorter month! That put us well above our average Answers/Day!

Stat December January February
Unique accounts 1958 2157 2269

Five+ Club (folks with at least 5 questions answered)

I had to double-check my filters for this one, because the Five+ Club had the exact same number of participants as January! This group followed the trend of a much higher average answers/day as well (which makes sense if you think about it!)

Spiceworks Veterans (Accounts created before 2021)

We had an extra 20 Spiceworks Veterans join the party in February, though this group didn’t necessarily see the same big improvement in average answers per day that the others did. It’s still definitely higher than usual, though!

The newbies group also grew quite a bit, and the total answers exceeded January’s by quite a bit!

11 Spice ups

Why do I get these vibes when seeing this ‘house coat’?

7 Spice ups

Did you say something important?

Thanks for the stats. And the comments/banter.

8 Spice ups

I thought I answered all of them for Feb. I guess not.
I’ll do better this month.
I won’t ever be perfect which I have come to terms with. :rofl:

6 Spice ups

Woohoo! First time ever I’ve managed to make “The Elite”!! I have a feeling it has less to do with it being a short month and more about the fact that there are 0 holidays and nothing better to do in February!

p.s. I ALWAYS read your blurbs and would miss them.

5 Spice ups

Awe, thanks!

And you’re always part of The Elite in my book! :slight_smile:

4 Spice ups

That is def the vibe LOL!

@Josh-J-Spiceworks – every month, I do most or all of the questions, as for correct, well, meh. But I’ve yet to see my name in the stats. Am I blind or have I really done so few that I don’t show up?
-Dazed and Confused in the Daily Challenge…

2 Spice ups

I’ll pull your stats up today and PM you them. Looks like you had 19 questions answered in February, but didn’t have enough correct to make the top 100 this time, unfortunately.

2 Spice ups

Looks like I’m wrong on so many levels. :slight_smile:

2 Spice ups

Woo hoo! In nearly 10 years on Spiceworks, this is the first time I’ve been on the leaderboard for the Daily Challenge (at least to my recollection). Yea me! :slight_smile:
