Look at how the year closes: the final three months are dense with civic remembrance days, liturgical feasts, harvest customs and month-long awareness campaigns. Anything with a proper name counts, from a single feast day to a week or a whole month, as long as it genuinely occurs in October, November or December; vague seasonal greetings and personal dates do not.

How to approach it

Build a mental sweep of the calendar instead of chasing one memorable example. Take each of the three months in turn and run through the same checklist: international and intergovernmental observances, national days and independence anniversaries, the liturgical calendar of the major religions, food and harvest customs, and the awareness weeks and months that advocacy groups promote. Jot down whatever surfaces, then test each candidate against the window and against precision: can you give it a proper name rather than a description? Reject anything you can only phrase vaguely, and prefer an entry you can pin to a date, a region or a tradition, because that specificity is exactly what distinguishes a recorded answer from a guess.

Get a hint

Start from the shape of the year rather than from a single country: the last quarter hosts an enormous number of observances, so almost any category you can think of has representatives waiting.

A little more

Work through categories one at a time: national and independence days, saints and religious feasts, food and harvest celebrations, health and social awareness periods, and commemorations of historic events.

One step further

Phrase your pick the way an encyclopedia would, as a proper name optionally followed by a date or a region in brackets, and remember that observances fixed by lunar calendars drift from year to year.

Why these answers count

The reveal is unusually flat: 3,309 recorded answers, of which 3,294 reach the top band, so breadth of knowledge matters far more than obscurity. Only one entry, Night of the Radishes, earned the maximum 100 points, while 3,193 answers clustered at 85 and a hundred settled at 60. That spread suggests the scoring rewarded a genuinely distinctive, hard-to-guess name on one end and penalised the handful of picks that were either too obvious or too loosely worded on the other. Everything in between — Alaska Day, Apple Day, Ace Week — landed in the same 85 band regardless of how famous or how local it was, which means the reliable play is not to hunt for something exotic but to name an observance precisely and make sure it really falls in the window. A well-formed, verifiable entry from any tradition scores; a vague or misplaced one is what costs you.
