Note: Although this may seem maths-related, I did do some research on meta and it seems that questions which take an 'elegant' solution are on-topic.
There are many ways to tell if four points are cyclic (i.e lie on a circle). However, given four points and angles and lengths as shown below, wha...
A retail businessman had his computer stolen. The thief had to be Ruma, Jennifer, Djokovic, Tuhin, or Monisha.
When questioned, each executive made three statements:
Ruma: (a) I didn't take the computer. (b) I have never in my life stolen anything. (c) Tuhin did it.
Jennifer: (a) I didn’t take...

@Deusovi and anyone else, thoughts - is this an answer or a comment? seems like comment to me, as while it raises a point (that's already been raised elsewhere) it doesn't actually ANSWER anything.
Going back to my CC for a moment. Re-reading, I think it needs a minor grammatical edit if someone can re-star the following version, which should hopefully clear up any remaining confusion:
CCCC: Object left behind is the work of imagination. And reality surrounds me. (8) [Note: some say I am pure energy]
(and in case it's not obvious, the [Note:...] is not part of the clue itself, but a clarification/qualification of sorts)
Yeah. Has the bounty, but not what it got awarded to (under the assumption that "non-winning" still should get awarded at 50%).
Actually looking at the timelines of other questions which have had bounties. The question doesn't include the award, only the answer timeline does... And none of the answer timelines (deleted or otherwise) on the question in question includes anything.
Actually looking deeper, it looks like that "non-winning bounty" text is not added on an auto-award either. So it seems like the system decided there was no valid recipient, which is odd...
Oh, wait.. unless it's the 24 hour grace period you have after the bounty ends. Does the bounty get removed before or after that point?
Agreed. Looks like "non-winning" is definitely the "bounty ended, but can't automatically award the bounty because there's no valid answers" message. So, not sure why the existing answer wasn't deemed worthy by the system.
@Alconja If the bounty is awarded, it is shown as 'bounty ended <username>; notice removed <username>'. Otherwise it is shown as 'bounty ended Community <>; notice removed Community <>
Some nice person downvoted eight of my answers within a period of about a minute, an hour or so ago. That seems rather too quick to be the result of careful consideration of their merits :-). Anyone else received similar treatment?
I'm getting the same treatment at Music SE and am thinking of plopping a Meta question.
It's easier to see if you mention one of those everyday object words that every native speaker seems to know but that don't come up in conversation often
@Rubio , yeah, my answers are serious (at Music SE) and well tested. Seems I stepped in somebody's territory.
Maybe that's what Gareth's getting too.
To reiterate, though, ffao, English isn't my very first language either but it is the one I've nestled into. And it's the most absurd language in the world.
ok I give up, I can't find it. I know there is a site that you can send mathjax markup to as URL parameters and it spits back an SVG image - what site is this?
