I know, the Winterbash has ended (it makes me cry everyday) and still asking questions about it is futile.

However, I was really fascinated by the mystery surrounding the mysterious Epic Punyon Beard. As far as I know, this was the only hat for which the requirements weren't made public.

Now that the party has ended, could someone reveal what were those secret requirements? Or is it a secret to die with?

I suspect you'd need to be awarded the hat by a moderator but I like to hope you could gain it via a strange unlikely succession of actions...

Please help me sleep at night again! :)

    @animuson He doesn't actually tell you how to get the hat.

    @Asad: The challenge was congratulating Punyon about the new baby. He got the beard for doing that. What more is there to explain?

    @Asad: It was only given to dmck. It's not really a challenge anymore once everyone knows you just have to say "congrats"... Everyone would have a beard... dmck worked hard researching that stuff and earned that beard.

  • @animuson So you're saying it was impossible to get the beard after dmck's answer?

It was employee-only. The only exception was dmck who got it as a reward for being the first to figure out what it was all about. That's all.

    Just curious... was it intended as a riddle in the first place? :)

    @ShaWizDowArd Not really. Well, we know you guys, so we expected nothing less :) But it was really just a nod to Jason and his family.
