Though arguably a comparison question is a different category.

@Alex Thanks. I can think of a couple of arguments against that answer. 1. A classic whataboutism, which is, why do the "Echad Mi Yodeya" questions make the cut? Seems to be similarly "useless" knowledge. 2. I thought this site was intended to strengthen love of learning Torah. I think many people find factoids such as these to be interesting and as such, help make learning more interesting.

@Kazibácsi Looks on-topic and answerable to me. Please ping me if it's a vote away from re-opening.

@Kazibácsi I agree with @IsaacMoses, so ping one of us if it's two votes from reopening (i.e. there are three).

(But I grant that it's off-topic according to the highest-voted answer on that Meta question (and is in fact listed as such s.v. "I'm just wondering"). I just don't completely agree with that answer. But I get a vote like everyone else, right?)

@msh210 First, I suppose the answer is useful, not the question, so I understand your argument. But sometimes these how many questions serve a purpose, like counting words or letters in the Tanakh to avoid scribal errors, as discussed in the meta post. Here it is also useful, because it serves somehow to help assessing the difficulty of each tractates, which is relevant in my view from a Judaism perspective.
