@David I got the Lifesaver. Thanks for your help!

4:17 AM

Congrats!

@Eran Is there a certain way to find tumbleweed questions?

@Eran nice! now I got to (get) back to my life saver.

@AndrewLi look at who has the badge

But is there a SEDE query?

Also, my bounty was awarded when it was manually given, not at the end of the day so now I can't get any rep

Rob

@AndrewLi meta.stackexchange.com/questions/288376/… .

Eran

@AndrewLi Just click on the Tumbleweed badge and you'll see recent questions that got the badge

@Eran ninga'd

4:24 AM

Okay :P

Will there be more secret hats?

@AndrewLi I'm betting yes

Hope so

there is nearly always a date specific one or 2

winter solstice

is the key

Okay that's it. (a) I give up on Elementary. (b) the criteria are wrong. There's something more to it. See my edits linked here plus this one, made just for good measure for confirmation.

@nitsua60 That's really weird

Who here doesn't have elementary except nitsua?

4:28 AM

[crickets]

[even sadder]

:(

lol

Dunno what to tell you

"go to bed"

=)

Try tomorrow

4:31 AM

@nitsua60 The criteria are not wrong.

Try it on a different site @nitsua60

@Saiid Have you taken a look at the six edits I made? Which two am I mistakenly thinking fit the criteria?

they are loading up right now

@nitsua60 Maybe it's "all questions"

oh, definitely

4:33 AM

@Saiid It's been 29 minutes since the fifth edit that fit the criteria.

if there aren't 5 of them that are questions, that would be why

@Saiid well, that's not the listed criteria...

true

as soon as the suggested edits load up, I'll make sure that they fit the other criteria

Whoa, now I got it.

@nitsua60 Hmm

4:35 AM

/??!

What did you do @nitsua60

nothing

If nothing, #BlameHatLag

^

30 min after "qualifying" edit

So the criteria isn't wrong

4:36 AM

1 min after a subsequent edit was made to one of the posts.

Guess that triggered the system, eh?

Maybe?

Any case, gotta add a page to the photo album!

@Volatility It's hard to connect it to SO. It may just be for the thumbnail and it's just a name - and the hat has nothing to do with sherlock holmes

Nice

It is a "deerstalker" hat--perhaps something to do with the following-edit?

Or the magnifying glass: someone "takes a look" at your edit?

@AndrewLi The hat itself and the name are referencing Sherlock Holmes, I have no idea what you're talking about

4:45 AM

@Saiid Just saying the hat name may just be a reference, not much to do with actually how to get it

Well, yes, I was thinking that too

I JUST GOT 6!

@AndrewLi really?

Yeah!

I dont suppose you have any idea how

4:47 AM

I was browsing on the homepage for things to edit

Albeit Sherlock Holmes never really wore a deerstalker hat, I don't think. :P

011 is taking forever to award... I got hat #11 (Hero of Questions) a while ago

It does

Anonymous

@BalarkaSen He does in the BBC series, but only briefly

Mine took a good 30 minutes

4:47 AM

@AndrewLi it is a fairly common hat. must be something kind of easy.

@David I thought only 1 person had it this morning?

8,243,721 is the easier one

yeah, i meant Conan Doyle's Holmes

@AndrewLi not according to this:

I would get 6 in total if I can get the OP to accept my answer

Anonymous

I dunno. One of the PPCG mods had 6 and 8,243,721 pretty early on, but he has no idea how he got it.

4:49 AM

O-O

people like that are the true gods

you do know the hats are sorted my rarity.

@AndrewLi were you picking up questions from the home page? May be with 6 upvotes, views..

They are?

oh great accepted

4:50 AM

@alecxe I was just browsing and editing

is this a bad answer?

@AndrewLi yes they are

@David Is there a post about this?

@AndrewLi it may take me a bit but I can find the link(s)

@David I can do it myself :P

Rob

4:55 AM

Someone was asking about snaphat and the timing

@AndrewLi I know it is in a answer on the meta. and in the last years chat room (I think said by pops)

!

Rob

The answer needs to be posted within 30minutes, accepting (and I'm guessing votes) can be after the 30min limit

gn all, going to sleep now

@David I'm writing a question now, start figuring out how to fake a motion blur in the BGE.

@X-27 what? the BGE...

yes.

Yes! An upvote on a bounty question! Now to cross my fingers and hope I don't get the bounty.

5:00 AM

well ok then. (quickly researches motion blur in bge, and openGL filters)

Q: Winter Bash 2015 Secret Hats

5:15 AM

There seem to be a lot of secret hats last year

349

I just received my first Winter Bash 2015 Secret Hat, so I decided to start the traditional Secret Hats and how to get them spoiler question. Note: Please edit the primary list of secret hats with definitive answers only. If you'd like to discuss the hats further and/or work towards identifyin...

Not sure if it's the same this year

@David question written, let me know when you want it posted.

and what exactly should I do with this question to get the most hat-ness?

post from mobile

wait until 12/30/16 to post

^

@nitsua60 ok, anything else?

specific time?

get 25 upvotes, for the silver badge -> silver spork

Anonymous

5:17 AM

Someone else just got 8,243,721

does it have to get _ number of votes within _ time? (or something like that which could be arranged ahead of time)

bounty it, then wait until the last day to award it

(or 12/25/16, or 1/6/17)

They made a comment (might have been two) on a question, the question was edited, and then they deleted the comment(s), all within a fairly short timespan.

@Mego Only one visible action: codegolf.stackexchange.com/users/12012/dennis?tab=activity

answer it yourself, with +3 on both

5:18 AM

Darnit Dennis!

Once I finish maxing my votes on World Building, I'll have a gold badge, and thus the gold hat :)

(or any day of Channakuh)

He could have voted or done other invisible actions too.

delete it, then undelete it.

Thassabout it =)

@Mego And that's a mod

5:20 AM

@nitsua60 so essentially, I have to post a lot more that one question to get all the hats :)

@X-27 Wellll... you could post five different answers to it, each getting +3

@nitsua60 ttthhhaaay could be hard...

Anonymous

@AlexanderO'Mara Voting would be the only other possible thing. He confirmed in chat that it would have to be related to his actions on the new question

(Ooh, I wonder if self-answer and accept counts for Snaphat?)

And also apparently mod-hammered it closed and reopened

Q: How can I quickly add cubes?

5:21 AM

This awesome hat-scamming question was for just that

I am trying to add cubes to my scene. Are there any easier ways to add a cube then by going into the python console and adding them manually by using this command? bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cube_add()

python modeling workflow

5 answers added very quickly (forgot the name of that hat)

@X-27 Yeah, I've done two answers on my own question before, but can't imagine how 5 would possibly all be good, yet different enough on a question that's not "too broad"

Question in question

We never did finish closing this to test hat for closing as dupe of your own: stackoverflow.com/q/22144892/3155639

@X-27 That question has 11 answers with a score of +3 or more

Granted, some of them are just pointing out different places to find a button that executes the exact same operator... but still :)

@AlexanderO'Mara close-voted

@Mego possible to get dennis over here or reproduce what he did?

Seems oddly specific

Sorry, we're talking about the 8,243,721 hat right?

Thanks

Heyo

Fractal

I am pained. How, when presented with a Darth Vader hat, would I ever want any other hat?

@Fractal Find out there's a taco hat

@Dennis so you got 8,243,721?

Wearing it as we type. :P

Mobile does not have the privilege of viewing hats

There's a lot of stuff that happened with that question. I started to write a comment, lost the text I had written because I voted to close first for some reason, rewrote the comment, the OP answered and edited the question, I replied with another comment, reopened the question, voted it up, and finally deleted 5 comments.

3

5:39 AM

Yeah

I was browsing the homepage, commenting and editing when I got 6

I deleted the comments from my phone, but I'm not sure if that matters.

Fractal

it('should be obvious').that(
this.assert( true === (DarthVader > Taco) );
);

damn. markdown. damn you. markdown.

@Fractal How dare thee speaketh of such unholy things

@Dennis It usually is easy to discern what causes what by looking at the activity tab but there's nothing for you :P

It also seems peeps on PPCG got the bert n' ernie one's quite easily

Geobits

@Dennis Any significance to the fact that it's your 6th hat?

Don't think so

I was thinking maybe you did a number of tasks for each digit in the number 8,243,721

Someone earlier with the hat did edits with almost all those numbers of characters deleted or added

5:47 AM

Well, I didn't edit anything lately.

Hmm

My last edit was 3h ago, to be precise.

I don't know. Sorry for wasting your time :P

I didn't get the snapchat hat, even though it's accepted and has a score of +3. strange

Is Elementary hat is given only for editing questions ?

5:48 AM

@BalarkaSen was the accept within the first 30 minutes?

Fractal

!!meme shouldiblameitoncache.jpg

Nope, @AndrewLi.

@TAsk No, no AFAIK. There seems to be a delay with answer being edited tho

I did cast 6 (binding) close/reopen votes in the past 24 hours though.

@BalarkaSen then no hat for you

5:49 AM

@AndrewLi Thanks.

@Dennis Hmm, let me note that

@AndrewLi which is weird, because this

I might not be interpreting the description of the hat correctly.

@TAsk 30 minutes was how long someone else waited. Try editing a few more questions from '10 ~ '13 or so

@BalarkaSen Let me see...

@AndrewLi Okay.

@BalarkaSen may be worth asking on meta.SE

5:54 AM

yeah, may be

I'm going to bed cya'll

Q: How do i get the Maverick Hat?

6:56 AM

2

I have a question regarding the Maverick Hat which states that in order to gain it, one must: answer a -3 question; later +3 I have two answers in my mind. Is this for answering a -3 question first and waiting till it gets upvoted to +3? Or do I need to answer a -3 question in the beginning ...

Got Taco while targeting for Elementary !?

I have a theory for a hat.

Can 5 people do me a favor and got to this link while not signed in and click the upvote button please?

@Mithrandir But you can't get an upvote that way. That said I just did it for you

@JamesENL Remember Onion Knight from last year?

Vaguely

Eran

@Mithrandir Do you think the Onion Knight hat from last year would just be repeated with no changes? I find that unlikely.

7:37 AM

What was the criteria?

get +3 from users who can't upvote it

@Mithrandir I just did it too

Thanks all who clicked. I'll wait and see (the more people who click the better)

Rubio

Btw, and I'm sure this has been said before but I'll reiterate it - Elementary doesn't need stuff 3+ years old, if the site isn't all that old. I just got it for posts circa 2014 and newer.

that was on puzzling.SE

Could be within a certain time from launch for newer sites

7:50 AM

It sounds like initial 3 years after starting the site.

Whee. Elementary.

how do you get that one

edit old posts?

Yes

Whee I just got the 011 hat :D

whats a good way to search for them

Going to the question tab and sort by newest and got to the end

also newest posts with "thanks" in them is a horrorshow

Yes

Did you delete your comment?

@TAsk same here. Are we sure the description for Elementary is right?

Elementary's tested a few times

I tested it, got it

Must be at least 5 posts from older than 3 years

8:54 AM

No

Just old, not necessarly 3 years

Cmon They Live!

Trying.

Rubio

Depends entirely on the age of the SE site you're on. It seems to be posts from the first 3 years of the site's life, but that's a guess.

Using them all only once didn't work

I'm trying twice now

I don't think They Live is related to how many times you do each type of review action

Glorfindel

@Mithrandir yeah, me too on SO now. I obtained the Taco hat on Chess.

Regarding 8,243,721.. and referring to this http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/949511-bertstrips
It is a number after which Ernie loses count. Is it something to do with completing 1000 reviews in any queue (during the Winterbash, of course)? Reason being that there is no need to remember the count of reviews after that since the gold badge is awarded at 1000 reviews.

No way

I got it without having tons of reviews

On Puzzling

oh okay @Mithrandir

or maybe a multiple of 1000?

9:14 AM

Looking at the people with the badge, that doesn't seem to be the case

@Volatility hat

Well, I mean seeing whether people recently awarded the badge have the hat as well

But in any case, if that was true then it would prevent a whole heap of people getting the hat, because they've already hit 1000 before the start of WB

that's why I mentioned a multiple of 1000 @Volatility

Ah, right

I tried to farm "elementary" hat on ru.so, did not get one, but got "mild mannered" instead

They Live suggested edit logic didn't work for me.

I edited a handful of old posts on Chess, Stack Overflow and Meta Stack Exchange. On SO I got the elementary badge; on the other two the Taco badge. Maybe they are the same hat, it might depend on the site which one you get?
