I spent 12 hours in a train over the past couple of days, and I took some Guardian cryptic crosswords with me. I spent at least 3 hours looking at them, and I solved a grand total of 2 clues
Take the following set of ten dominoes:
0-1, 0-2, 0-3, 0-4, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-3, 2-4, 3-4
Arrange the dominoes With Rules :
NO two connected tiles have a number in common.
2 dominoes have been placed there as guide.
There are 2 different solution.
Solve This.
Fit the most pieces on a chess board.
You are only allowed to place Rooks, Knights and Bishops.
The number of each piece may not be more than one higher than
the numbers of pieces of the other two.
Every piece has to be attacked by exactly one other piece.
I don't know what the answer to this...
I’m hosting game night at my regular bar, and I’m gong to stage a murder mystery. Each of the suspect will make 4 statements, one of which is known to be a lie.
I tried to construct it as soundly as I could, using a grid to check each person’s lies and truths. I based it roughly on this other pu...
"A client of mine," said a lawyer, "was on the point of death when his wife was about to present him with a child. I drew up his will, in which he settled two-thirds of his estate upon his son (if it should happen to be a boy) and one-third on the mother. But if the child should be a girl, then t...
0,4 ; 2,4 ; 2,0 ; 0,0 ; 0,1
3,0 ; 3,4 ; 5,4 ; 5,0 ; 3,0
8,0 ; 6,0 ; 6,4 ; 8,4
6,2 ; 8,2
9,4 ; 9,2 ; 11,2 ; 11,0 ; 9,0
11,4 ; 11,2
The above is the first name of a famous tv character. What is it (the first name)?
Hints will be provided later.
@EricTressler "I mean if you have 3 copies of two pieces, you can have 2, 3, or 4 of the other piece. Maybe you can help me phrase that a bit better. The difference between number of rooks and number of bishops may only be 0 or 1." (from the comments) does not match what the text of the puzzle says
I think it's clear what the OP meant, but apparently some of the commenters didn't. I only edited the question because the comments were getting on my nerves and I felt bad for the OP
Is it possible to find a formula of $a_n$ with only $n$ for this sequence/series?
$1 , 24 , 69 , 136 , 225 , 1236 , 2449 , 3864 , 5481 , 7300 , 9321 , 11544 , 13969 , 16596 , 19425 , 22456 ...$
I have another way to show each number how it's made, so if it is impossible I can show what every n...
First timer, hope it won't be too easy.
I can walk on the floor, I can walk on the wall
Under trees, on top of hills slowly I do crawl
Back and forth, back and forth, I stalk the streets at night
If I fall I make no sound, but sometimes quite a fright
Who am I?
It's probably spending most of its time in some three.js library code, but I don't know. That's an experimental program, it's not even linked from my website
I'm not touching webgl directly, but it's probably not a bug so much as a lack of resources or your browser detecting that something is taking too long
(In other words, this place has been my balm for the last couple of difficult years. And now one sweetheart told me that another would like a call. When it rains it pours.)
Your brother has been forcing you to some read some of his frankly ridiculous poetry, so, knowing that he was never a numbers man, you decide to vex him with a Number Slope puzzle. In fact, you are so confident that he won't be able to solve it that you bet all your PSE rep on it.
The next day, ...
The group with 2 slopes (L,T) has two items in it (the second being an exception to the normal rule), just like the second "group" of grids has two items in it, where the second is an exception because it's of size 5?

Welp. Forget about the Wow! signal. We've really been contacted by aliens this time – ones who have learnt English, too. Broken English, though, and even past the grammatical level – broken all the way to the graphemic level! Despite that, I think our team man...
