    【Question】
    How many events in total have happened on the devices in 2016? in 2016 refers to `timestamp` LIKE '2016%';

    【Evidence】
    in 2016 refers to `timestamp` LIKE '2016%';

    Please read and understand the database schema carefully, and generate an executable SQL based on the user's question and evidence. 

SQL: SELECT COUNT(event_id) FROM `events` WHERE SUBSTR(`timestamp`, 1, 4) = '2016'
