"What is a bigot? A hypocrite." Nope. "What is Bloody Mary? A spirit in a glass." Nope. "What is a mynah? A thing whose song might imitate." Nope. Those are just from other C4s today.
This question was in the logical reasoning section of an exam I had recently appeared in. I still have no clue how this is solved.

6 has the look of a question that (unlike most IMO questions) might be a straightforward consequence of some high-powered machinery known to Real Mathematicians in the appropriate domain. I.e., if you gave it to five algebraic geometers there's a good chance one of them would say "oh yes, this is an easy corollary of So-and-So's theorem".
Or maybe the TSL denizens' knowledge on that field is limited. The canonic erotic diarist, Anaïs Nin, doesn't get me far. Unless "erotic diarist pulls the covers off" is a convoluted way to clue I.
though is "lying slightly opened" is the def, there are some things that come to mind. I just don;t think Gareth (that I've seen) would go for the suggestive language and then also have a confirmed ribald answer

incidentally, just for fun I made an example of the opposite sort of clue. This is one not to solve in front of the children. Born paying little attention to the Sacraments, figure of pious patience might call upon his god upon receiving this gift (7)
Perhaps I should explain that in some contexts (e.g., the Church of England) it is traditional to classify Christian churches and individuals as "low" or "high", corresponding roughly to more-Protestant and more-Catholic respectively.
@ffao, put together Gareth's two statements about the church being "high" or "low", and the biblical book of Job, and maybe tack a letter on the front...
Here's a puzzle I've been thinking about for a while, but still don't have an answer to.
Lets say a friend is playing Tetris, but instead of the computer picking pieces at random you get to choose which pieces are added. (Unlike the computer you do not have to pick from a bag, you may choose an...
So because it was a team building thing, my escape room was set up off-site and only puzzles at tables. Wish I could share but they were very hands-on.
It was coop but there were several people so we split into teams, and each team was responsible for one combination lock.
I solved everything and got the first lock off then helped other tables solve the same puzzles with different inputs
Two of my members started talking shop once we got the go-ahead and the others were kind of clueless and quite happy to sit back and let me do the legwork

Stuck on the first puzzle. It could be ridiculously obvious
Solved the other two.
