Thank you for extracting this data. Now I have a better idea on what it takes for a post to make it into the trending page.

One of the key take-away is this:

In essence you need to get high value votes within the first 24 hours of posting to get your post onto the trending page.

And another thing that caught my eye, these trending posts only included one to three tags.

I'm looking forward to the next analysis as to which categories trend best.

P.S.
Some minor grammatical correction if you may:

extremely difficulty.

to extremely difficult.
