if this involves finding some random MLB player whose name added to another letter gives the name of some random person named Harris, I'm just going to give up on it now.
I mean... how's that different from using "Mr./Actor Smith" to clue the letters WILL? That's (from my understanding) generally accepted by most solvers...
You are the assistant to the famed Archeologist Carl Carlson, better known as Colorado Carl! It's been a few years since you've had an interesting or (more importantly) profitable find. However, you think you may be in for your next big break.
Today in the mail, amongst the junk advertisements, ...
Is it possible to cut a $7\times7$ chessboard into $13$ pieces with equal perimeter?
Note:
Each of the pieces must be connected (two squares that only touch at a cornerpoint do not count as connected).
You are not allowed to cut through the interior of the $49$ little squares.
Whenever you...
I only read Meta every so often but I've seen lots of talk about SCITE and FGITW. I have no idea what these are!
Can someone please define and explain these abbreviations?

Puzzlers, I am presenting a set of six duo-grids! Of course, I need to tell you how they work - you are given a grid. Looking at it, you are given the two puzzle types embedded in it and the operation. You are also given the v...
Looks like all of these have been dealt with by now, except :
network and
graph-theory (where graph-theory is the better choice)
Indeed,
network (11 puzzles
and its description even mentions graph theory)
should become a synonym for
graph-theory (58 puzzles).
By the way, the other day when I gave salutations to you and you, boboquack and Wen1now, for having somewhat recently made as-yet-incompletely-solved multi-meta-puzzles, it was meant as more of a compliment than it sounded.
Talking about the one above, Parallelisation, and this one:
This puzzle is based off the What is a Word™ and What is a Phrase™ series started by JLee and their spin-off What is a Number™ series.
I like What is an Adjective Noun™ puzzles. Here are a few I prepared earlier:
Let's start off with an easy word puzzle:
Fringe Words™, Not Fringe Words™...
Also, story is being synonymised into word-problem, which I personally don't agree with, but I don't have the necessary score on word-problem to take action
In a land of no name you start your journey with hands stuck at 3,
there is a tree with two stumps, a half moon you will see. A fork in

Assume you have a standard numberpad 0-9
There is a need for you to brute force a 5 digit passcode, without the used of a computer. This passcode can be entered at any time with no time between entries, and does not restart when you type an incorrect number. I.e if the passcode was 12345 the f...
