I'm pretty sure all 20 worst nodes of the year is going to prove out of reach, at least I've never seen it done

I've been proved wrong! This rare feat has finally been achieved. It lasted only for a few days though, towards the end of March 2018 (one example shown below).

This is a mind-bogglingly difficult feat to pull off, so much so that only one monk in the entire history of Perl Monks has been able to do it, and even then only for a few days. Though BrowserUk tried for a little while, he lacked the persistence, the staying power, week after week, month after month, year after year, to keep on relentlessly posting the utter rubbish required to pull it off.
