When will the Answerthon results be announced?
The results of Answerthon Xtreme have been posted on the No Stupid Answers blog. See the related links. If an Answerthon is not taking place the results of the previous contest will be posted at the Answerthon related link below as well.
Does the wiki answerthon take place every year?
Yes, at least one answerthon happens every year. Some years, there might be multiple answerthons. They might also have a twist. For example, last year there was the "how-to" answer thon.
WikiAnswers is the owner of the AnswerThon. It was made up by and run by the WikiAnswers staff.
What were the results of the October 2009 AnswerThon?
View the related links. The AnswerThon results are always told on the nostupidanswers blog.
What prizes are given out on Answerthon?
Usually the prizes are gift vouchers to purchase stuff from amazon website. Also, wikianswers merchandise like t-shirts, caps, towels etc are given away as prizes to the winners.
What time Zone is the Answerthon Oct 24th and 25th 2009 I live in Western Australia?
The timezone for the competition was Midnight Friday October 23/24 12:00 AM to Midnight Sunday 25/26 12:00 AM - 48 hours as per Eastern Standard Time.
What are the times for the AnswerThon in different time zones?
The next AnswerThon - April 25-26 2009 - has the following official start and end times:
Saturday, April 25th: starting at midnight, 12:00 am, Eastern Standard Time, (which is actually late Friday night in EST).
Sunday, April 26th: ending at 11:59 pm, Eastern Standard Time, (right before midnight of the 27th in EST).
Check out The World Clock to compare in real time different time zones across the world: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/
Here are the times across North America: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/custom.html?continent=namerica
If it's April 25th, at 12 am in EST, it's still April 24th across the rest of the United States - 9 pm in Pacific Time and 10 pm in Mountain Time and 11 pm in Central Time.
Remember to consider your time zone!
How do you get a user name for the AnswerThon?

More information can be found about the AnswerThon by going to the AnswerThon home page.
How many sentences does an answer need to have for the AnswerThon?
It must have at least two full, complete sentences. Sentences of three words or less are not "sentences". Sentences that are meaningless filler (which is generally discouraged anyway) like "good luck" or "hope this helps" will not be counted (even if they're more than three words, unlike the two examples given).
Who is participating in the WikiAnswers Contest Spring has Sprung Answerthon?
There was approximately 500 users who registered in the Spring '13 AnswerThon. To see the winners of the contest see the related question below.
