Howdy, folks! It’s time, again, for some fun Daily Challenge stats!
The Elite
We start off with the folks who answered every question correctly. This month, we had a surprising number of folks who answered all 22 correctly! I expected much more of a drop-off with the holidays, but @cafe0411, @farokhirani9944, @PatrickFarrell, @paweleo6539, and @simonsheard4498 all answered all 22 correctly! Amazing job!

Fun Stuff
Everyone
First up, let’s take a look at the overall stats for everyone, compared to the past 2 months (because if I keep adding more months to this chart, it’ll get ridiculous.)
We had a few dozen more participants than October, but still didn’t quite reach our peak that we had back in September. We also had lower overall participation, though I expect that’s mainly due to the holidays, where we saw a few questions with drastically lower participation than normal.

Spiceworks Veterans (Accounts created before 2020)
This group still makes up over half of our participants, which is always fun for me to think about. Thank you to all of those who stick around.

A Peek Behind the Curtain (part 2)
Those of you who read last month’s Fun Stats may have seen that I skipped the Newbies, Veteran, and Geography sections last time. Well, @Lois-Spiceworks has done it again, and gotten me access to all of the data I needed to bring them back!
If you’re reading this early, you may notice I’ve still got some question marks in November’s stats, but I’ll be back when I have some more time to fetch those stats and add them back in!
