Hello everyone, this question is targeted at some of the members who have been around for long.

What was the least amount of unanswered threads, has it ever been zero? And what about the most, has it ever hit 100?

Sure thing, when the site was created there were no threads at all.

Since https://www.physicsforums.com/unanswered/threads has been around the approximate least amount is around 5 and the most I'd say in the 60s.

But that's exactly what you have to expect as an answer on a webpage with mathematically educated people. I remember when someone has been asked to give an example of a linear map and I thought: "Good he didn't ask me. I would have said ##0##. And if this wasn't acceptable, I would have continued with ##1##."

I obviously thought that I might get such an answer but I expected these logically Superior minds to give me an answer from after a few years of the forum starting.
