Solutions

1:A - A bit unfair to single out this particular commenter, as many of the early responses to our overnight US election live blog were full of confidence - or at least hope - that Trump would lose the election to Hillary Clinton. 21,952 comments later, we were contemplating a stark new era of history., 2:C - The overnight (for UK readers) EU referendum live blog received 41,169 comments, as British voters decided they wanted to 'Take Back Control'. As it became clear that the UK was headed for the Brexit door, responses ranged from a simple 'oh fuck' to the ironically optimistic 'Looking forward to seeing that £350m invested every week very soon'. Data revealed a generational divide between Leave and Remain voters., 3:B - It was a year dominated by the deaths of many legendary music figures, all of whom received thousands of heartfelt tributes from Guardian commenters., 4:B - The battle of Ghostbusters: the remake was fought long and hard in our comments threads long before the film was even released. The more nuanced views - like the one above - were hard to find, proving the point that the movie industry - and its audience - still have a long way to go on sexism, 5:D - North Korea's ratcheting up of its nuclear test program was one of 2016's big geopolitical headaches. Also, there was a new phone out., 6:D - David Squires' weekly comics on football for Guardian sport quickly became a cult favourite, with a lively comment thread largely dominated by ridiculous puns and obsessions with recurring character Janet, 7:B - This question was asked under many comment threads that dealt with climate change. The ratification of the Paris agreement brought some joy to environmental campaigners. The election of Donald Trump as leader of the free world was less warmly greeted, 8:B - A silly season story, perhaps, but the range of Boris Johnson related headlines reveal a busy and sometimes controversial year for the former London mayor, who campaigned for Brexit, aborted his bid to become PM, and ended up as a gaffe-prone foreign secretary, 9:A - Labour had a difficult 2016, with MPs with Corbyn's leadership since his shock victory last year forcing a second leadership contest after Britain's Brexit vote, with Corbyn accused of not doing enough to connect with traditional Labour voters, 10:D - But could have equally applied to all of them, to be honest. Merry Christmas!
