You are given ten stacks of golden coins, each stack consisting of ten coins and a digital scale with arbitrary precision. You know that all stacks of coins are made from gold, weighing 10 grams per coin except one stack, which is made from silver but is painted golden. A silver coin weighs 1 g...

(By the way, the scenery behind youtube.com/watch?v=KgBazthb_kY will be one of my first returns now that I have the means to travel again. What a slelection!)
Spent the day (with help) clearing 20-odd years of overgrowth and became too exhausted to resist coming here.
After all that outdoor work, after all the indoor work here for the last couple of years, my arms look like I was in a catfight.
If you're still here, Mithrandir, did you catch what i was referring to about the background to youtube.com/watch?v=KgBazthb_kY ?
(and I do NOT believe that monkeys are any less evolved than humans! It was an excuse to put up that music)

Here's a real puzzle on a good day: How do you help someone who has hardware you don't. Someone who feels as at home with an iPad as you or iWould onCheron?
(Can't believe this make-believe chat room is the only thing that works here right now. Can't believe I'm typing this instead of fixing the problems.)

There are 7 prisoners buried up to their necks in sand. 6 are on one side of a wall, all facing the wall. They are lined up such that the furthest from the wall can see the 5 prisoners closest to the wall, the next furthest can see the 4 prisoners closest to the wall, and so on. This means the c...
Now you've done it, whoever! I've turned off every channel and yet the neighbrs are jumping out of their beds to "Love is Blue" and [some other alingual song I don't know the name].
Repeat: The only reason we awake, for whatever htps:/deeds we do is to provide an environment to repose and dream again.
Truly, from someone who learned to flex a trombone in order to tune others, I still want edit ability. Everyone should!
(please remember that all this dribbles from someone who had the chance since 1972 but didn't bite until now)
Most of the stuff I've put out here is a love poem to someone I've known. Sometimes because they would've been impressed. Sometimes else.
Stealing a puzzle book from a library is very much like posting a puzzle here. Will I get away with it?
(I've lived through worse and don't recommend it. The idea is to see the entire spectrum and recognize wherever anyone is aiming and wherever they might make a safe landing.)
... catching up on videos (lucky 2-screen), @Mithrandir, and to misquote a song, "were I a salad dressing I'd be splashing." Lucky! Shine on!
That was a shitload of pablum! All nutritious. We're sunk. (I do have constructive ideas but just happened to watch every outlet that others might. Ooooooooooooooooo.)
No intervention? This has nothing to with the latest puzzles here. Just a slide to worldwide puzzles without solution.
We won't solve every world problem instantaneously with our numbers, and there is no clear solution, but there's a ripple effect.
Didn't find it. Third hand knowledge is akin to autismism. I'm autistic to the extent that I take in more than I reveal.
(I still assume that everyone is equally supported and filtered, at once, by what is input. And then to assume an output, what a thrill!)
I'm forever lost in the canyonlands (Colorado/Utah border; don't go there without a BLM map), where every cliff looks impossible.
My maps are more than 1m by more than 1f and came from visiting the drawers at the USGS. If you can make anythhing comparable (and up to date!), see you there!
But the whole point is the view in the morning! I really must go back to help even out the odds. 3 were at night, 1 was by daylight. Please, remember, don't try this at home!
I sleep in the same bed, without another unmentioned [no rhyme, despite the spelling]. And there, pushing my spread, is (Head)Butter(head), instead.
(Head)Butter(head) is a feral cat that just took over everything. Even rearranged the furniture, if you can imagine.
When I brought the poor headbutter home from the neuteraliszer, the danger woke up too early and scarred his head by trying to break out from the hate-to-admit-it cage.
Two or three years later the dinger-danger seems to remember me as the one who set him free rather than the one who caged, confined and carried him to a day of abuse.
Feral cats come in to say "you're my food and water dishes" and then they either sleep cuddled up or disappear to make messes that nobody will find.
Seriously, if you don't have a feral cat trying to rip your house apart from the inside, consider a domesticated rat.
