Down memory lane: Please nominate the best answers of 2011?

Question

We've been running for over 6 years now, and I thought we should take the opportunity to look back at the best answers.

Please post an answer nominating your favourite / the best answer of 2011 (don't worry, we'll move onto more recent years soon).

You can nominate more than one answer, each in a separate post.

You can not nominate your own answers.

You must link to the answer.

This will run until we have 10 answers with at least one upvote, at which point the top three answers upvoted will receive bounties from myself (and anyone else who deems it worthwhile - hopefully you'll be generous with the bounties since you voted for them).

This search may help you find answers from 2011.

Answer 1

I nominate:

the answer from October 28, 2011 by Phelios, in response to :

OK we're all adults here, so really, how on earth should I use a squat toilet?

Answer 2

I nominate: Yousf's answer to How to use sinks with separate hot/cold taps? because I would have paid solid dobloons to know this trick back when I lived in the UK.

Answer 3

I nominate: hippietrail's answer about Travelling between Japan and South Korea. Brilliant answer full of first-hand experience.
