Hi English-language readers! This blog post is not for you; perhaps you’d like a hat instead? No? Well, when last we spoke of creating non-English versions of Stack Overflow, some of you were certain we should’ve gone the easy route and just leveraged a machine translation service instead of creating real sites for real people to use. I humbly invite you to read the rest of this post using the mechanical babelfish of your choice, and see if you think such tools can be relied on for important work… …

Seitokai Yakuindomo

Seitokai Yakuindomo (生徒会役員共, lit. Student Council Staff Members) is a shōnen four-panel comic strip manga series written and illustrated by Tozen Ujiie. The series began serialization in the June 2007 issue of Kodansha's Magazine Special and ran in that magazine until the July 2008 issue, where it was thereafter transferred to Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine in September 2008, and has been running there since. Chapters are collected and published in collected volumes by Kodansha, with ten volumes released as of May 2014 in Japan. A 13-episode anime adaptation produced by GoHands aired in Japan...

Mysticial

I never did end up getting Eureka. So clearly I missed something. Oh well...

Logan M

Personally, given the choice, I'd rather have fewer duplicate hats. Dupes are counted in the "total hats" count which is used to break ties on the leaderboard in terms of ordering. So more dupes means I'd appear higher and get more views, which might clue people in on my actions.

Mysticial

Everyone is already watching you. lol

Logan M

A few people are, but this time the secrets all came out fast enough that there wasn't much reason to.

There don't seem to be any exploitable hats so far, except maybe the one that hasn't been figured out yet.
