Jan 28, 2015 at 11:54 comment added Ben Barber Google seems to like Stack Exchange, and that's a very good page title for capturing people with that sort of question.
Jan 28, 2015 at 0:21 comment added Stefan Kohl Mod @JosephO'Rourke: I think anybody on the internet.
Jan 28, 2015 at 0:08 comment added Joseph O'Rourke @StefanKohl: By anybody, or anybody with an MO account? (Which does not undermine your point...)
Jan 28, 2015 at 0:04 comment added The Masked Avenger "famous" could also mean "viral", as in the perfect billiards break posted some months ago. I imagine the present question ranks high on certain web searches.
Jan 27, 2015 at 23:57 comment added Stefan Kohl Mod "Famous" means "10000 views by anybody" -- the vast majority of these views can be by people who have nothing to do with MathOverflow. Thus the quickest way to get a question "famous" in the sense of the badge is to post the link in some place where LOTS of people see it, and to use a text for the link which makes average people curious. Perhaps this has happened here.
