With April done w're pleased to announce another round of 'Best of' winners!

This month we had a consensus pick, with both the Flairs and the Users passing the laurels to /u/Xuande88 for their answer to "What led to the stagnation of Muslim innovation and science when they were once considered the leaders in science and mathematics during Medieval times?"

For the Runner Up, the honor goes to /u/Dont_Do_Drama who entertained with "In school, I learned a lot about about Ancient Greek theater and Elizabethan theater but very little theater in between those time periods. Why?"

This month's "Dark Horse" Award, which recognizes the top voted answer by a non-flair was a true nailbiter, and despite refreshing several times for the vote-fuzzing, it looks like we have a tie. As such, both /u/PurrPrinThom and their answer to "Ancient and medieval scribes made several errors and changes when copying the Bible, leading to several passages where the original version is disputed to this day, and several instances where errors have shaped the way key passages are understood. Is the same true of any sufficiently ancient text?", and /u/MullaNasreddin for their response to "What did people in Afghanistan do for fun after the Taliban banned nearly every pastime?", take this month's prize.

For this month's 'Greatest Question', voted on by the mods, the choice went to "I am a noble in a South Nigerian kingdom in the mid-19th century (a few decades before colonization). I have never left my kingdom but I am quite well-off by local standards. What are the living conditions like? How much do I know about the wider world outside West Africa?", which was asked by /u/KittyTack, and also received two excellent replies, from /u/thegreattreeguy and /u/swarthmoreburke.

Finally, the Excellence in Flairdom Award for April goes to /u/jelvinjs7! For the past month, Jelvinjs7 has been an absolute powerhouse behind the scenes in their efforts to organize and coordinate the clean-up and updating of the subreddits FAQ. The FAQ is an invaluable resource for the subreddit community, and jelvinjs7's efforts are so dearly appreciated not just by us, but by the community as a whole. Thank you /u/jelvinjs7!
