@AnkitSharma Lol, i can't wait either, can i ask you? do you think they will give SO WB results also?

A: Why was I awarded the taxonomist badge?

U9-ForwardYou did create it, look at top right corner of the page: https://stackoverflow.com/tags/default-method/info you created it because you were the first one posting on it, and created it out of nothing, the first question of the tag was: Explicitly calling a default method in Java which was your...

The blog postā€™s up!
Juan M on January 04, 2019

The 2018 Winter Bash festivities have come to an end. It was a fun season, especially with the addition of the sweater mini-game. As is our custom, we’ll recap a bit here on some of the stats for the hats as well as post some of the many outrageously attractive avatars we found across the network.

This year we saw a 5-way tie for most hats earned during Winter Bash! However, the question still remains… did they earn all of the possible hats? Congratulations to these winners!

This year also featured a few secret hats which were awarded multiple times.Ā  Many of you were able to find th …

I hope that means there is another blog post coming
 
1:39 PM
brrr cold here
 
1:56 PM
@Riker and this one, and this one. (meta can be brutal.)
@Eran aw thanks. was wondering if anyone would say something.
> However, the question still remainsā€¦ did they earn all of the possible hats?
Curiosity intensifies.
@Catija can you be sure to include the table of all the hats awarded (like the top table here), or tell whoever will be doing that post. Plus I am still very interested in the "official" triggers.
 
It would be great if we could get another /stats page like last yearā€™s: web.archive.org/web/20180110151511/…
 
some of us veteran hatters like stats.
 
2:13 PM
yea stats are fun and Iā€™m also still very interested in the triggers of the uncracked secret hats
 
or unknown hat(s)!
 
Thatā€™s really intriguing; it seems quite implausible though since we didnā€™t have any unawarded hats in the past 6 WBs.

tim did hint at "...before the start of Winter Bash (which may or may not be heavily inspired by fondant, LEGO bricks and constrained closet space)." in this post.
 
2:52 PM
@David I'll see what we can do.
@David I don't think there were any that were unfound.
 
@Catija ok that's what we figured, but Juan there had me wondering.
 
Yeah, that was amusing when I read the blog post this morning.
 
3:10 PM
sure made me stop.
say thanks to him for me. That was great.
 
Anyway, for triggers, do you want me to just explain them here?
 
you could edit the hat list.
or if it is easier go for it here.
someone will edit the list later.

Sorry @Catija for misspelling your name in my edit what @Glorfindel had to correct. I hate autocorrect.
