Tenacious : Zero score accepted answers: more than 5 and 20% of total.

I have 6 zero score accepted answers and 24 accepted with 71 total on main site.

## EDIT: Got It!

I may not be reading it right (the description is far from clear), but it seems that you have $6$ zero score accepted answers. Since you have more than $30$ answers, you don't qualify. I don't think that the total refers to only zero score answers.

I just recounted, and you have $33$ zero score answers. So even if the total refers to only zero score answer, you have less than $20$%.

Just in case this bears, you have $23$ accepted answers.

Update:

As commented by Peter Phipps, the List of all badges has a clearer description:

### Tenacious

• silver; awarded once; same family as Unsung Hero (gold)
• Have more than five accepted answers with a score of zero, and have those zero-score accepted answers account for at least 20% of all your accepted answers
• Only accepted answers at least ten days old are considered
• Was originally named Tireless.
• Sources: How long do Tireless and Unsung Hero badges take to be awarded?, a SO team member who checked the source code in chat

On May $2$, your $5^{\text{th}}$ zero score accepted answer becomes $10$ days old, and that is your $19^{\text{th}}$ accepted answer. Then you should get a Tenacious badge.

• Can't understand. You mean one must have more than 20% of answers accepted of the answers with zero score

• @exploringnet: as I mentioned above, the description of the badge is not clear. From my original reading, I assumed that the number of "zero score accepted answers" needs to be at least $20$% of the number of answers. Perhaps it need only be $20$% of the number of zero score answers, or the number of accepted answers. However, if it were of the number of accepted answers, you would have had that at $5$.

• The 20% is off of the number of accepted answers, but it only counts for answers that are at least 10 days old. At the current state, @exploringnet should get the badge in a few days, as long as none of his 0-score acceptances get voted up or down in the meantime.

• @robjohn Again a doubt in this. Will the answers with $\pm$ 1 be considered? ie. any answer with net score zero but not zero votes.
