I hope that this question gets the first prize at the competition, which question got the least answers?

I always try to ask a question that is too much to ask to find out who is still dealing with such a question. Apparently the score is no longer an issue. Many have already reached over 97%.

I have several questions to which there have been no Answers, Reads or Recommendations, so I think I am ahead of you in going backwards.

The time I spend on RG is considerable. I would like to upload all my scientific work and projects for Research. This is the coffin for posterity, which does not have to remain closed, but can be opened now - and this practice also works quite well. But I'm determined to put an end to it when everything is in place. That will certainly last until next year. I admit: Sometimes other researchers also offer certain projects or questions that I find interesting and which I take part in the thread.
