| Sep 19, 2017 at 13:44 | comment | added | Joseph O'Rourke | @Neal: Excellent! I think it was "Solutions of the Continuum Hypothesis": with ~100 votes. | |
| Sep 19, 2017 at 13:13 | comment | added | Neal | Here are two snapshots from the Wayback Machine: 5/14 and 5/15. I see: "A book you would like to write," "Intuition behind harmonic analysis in number theory," and "Solutions of the Continuum Hypothesis" are questions with more than 1k views. Perhaps they all contributed to a spike in attention. | |
| Aug 30, 2017 at 23:42 | comment | added | Joseph O'Rourke | @R.vanDobbendeBruyn: The weekly min is invariably Friday, but likely that includes part of Saturday in most parts of the world. Sunday-Wednesday are more or less constant. Thursday starts to drop toward the min, then Saturday sees a rise. Quite predictable. Mind you, this is a summer snapshot. When classes are in session there might be a slightly different pattern. My own usage is the inverse: I primarily only have time for MO on the weekends. | |
| Aug 30, 2017 at 23:36 | comment | added | R. van Dobben de Bruyn | I also find the periodicity very interesting. It seems that weekends really have lower views than weekdays. That seems to tell a pretty positive story about work–life balance. | |
| Aug 27, 2017 at 7:37 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | Re: Not sure if the snapshot violates this injunction. I think that sharing a picture is rather different from sharing the raw data, so IMO this is perfectly fine. (I think I have seen similar screenshots before on the main meta and Mathematics meta.) | |
| Aug 22, 2017 at 16:04 | comment | added | Joseph O'Rourke | @MartinSleziak: A mystery. Perhaps an old post resuscitated. | |
| Aug 22, 2017 at 12:43 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | When I try to see look at questions with high number of views posted around that May 14, there is only one with more that 5k views: Hironaka's proof of resolution of singularities in positive characteristics. This probably not enough to explain the difference. | |
| Aug 22, 2017 at 12:34 | comment | added | Joseph O'Rourke | @MartinSleziak: I think you have pinpointed it. 20k views---Wow! Likely May 14th was a similar highly popular post. I did a bit of searching without, however, hitting on such a post. | |
| Aug 22, 2017 at 7:46 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | Perhaps the question Mathematically interesting screensavers has to do with the peak in August? It has over 20k view, it definitely appeared in the network-wide hot questions list and it was very probably shared on various websites. It was asked on August 8. | |

| Aug 21, 2017 at 13:38 | comment | added | Joseph O'Rourke | I just noticed Stack Exchange says: "Since this is a restricted privilege, we'd prefer you not share the raw data." Not sure if the snapshot violates this injunction. | |
| Aug 21, 2017 at 13:36 | comment | added | Joseph O'Rourke | @AliTaghavi: Yes, this is MathOverflow specific data. | |
| Aug 21, 2017 at 12:39 | comment | added | Ali Taghavi | Very interesting. is it about MO? | |
