My  dear friends! This month we will vote for the most interesting question of September. All members of this group can take part in voting.Perhaps, there should be some estimation criteria so that our choice will be somehow grounded. I propose the following criteria:

1. The question, itself, caused your desire to know the answer.

2. The question was asked in such a way that the easiest answer seemed to be beyond your understanding.

3. It was not easy (or was impossible) to google the answer.

Sure, you can take into account your own criteria. But, I'd like you to remember, that we vote for a question, not for its answer.

If you post your comment and then, change your mind, you should delete the previous comment and post another. I will go on adding the questions, so, such a situation is quite possible. Each person has to choose 5 best questions. I hope, this month we will avoid the situation where all gamers choose different questions.

Now, how we vote. To make it easy, just tell the numbers of the rounds. All the questions asked in September are put to the vote. The author of the best question will get an interesting fiction.
