another C4 hint: the "anchorman" in question is a particular (famous) person
 
I was afraid of that.
 
ah, rip
I know virtually zero living famous people
 
Unless it's Ron Burgundy, I have no clue.
 
probably is that then :P
 
1:23 AM
@Doorknob Would you be willing to share if this is something that requires about the (aspirational?) home or its vicinity of this famous person specifically?
 
1:34 AM
@Rubio I suppose so, yes. (although I think many people could solve it without external resources)
 
Ok. I was starting down that path and realized it was going to be a lot of needle finding in a lot of haystacks to piece together a person and their place in a way that fits with the wordplay suggested here, and if that was a blind alley I would rather not go there. (I assumed the worst. hehe)
 
I looked through areas of France near Burgundy
but I think I may also give up, I spent far too much time trying to find a dictionary word that fits already
 
To be clear, it's not a particularly obscure reference; I knew all the relevant information before making the clue.
(though I may have had an advantage there... take that as a hint if you'd like)
 
1:59 AM
It's clearly something related to doorknobs! :)
 
Alas, none of those names are 7 letters ending in N
(Yes. I checked. Lol)

Q: You'll never walk out of this room

JnBrymn I'm a kind of room you find in any building. You've walked into me many times I'm sure. But no one has ever walked out of me. What am I? To my knowledge I made this riddle up. But it's simple enough that I bet it's come up before. The goal her is 3 fold: 1) answer it if you ca...

If one considers a thing mind-bending, and another one doesn't, does that mean the latter's mind has already been bent?
 
@JohnDvorak what if I consider your question mind-bending?
 
Since my mind is quite bent already, it doesn't constitute a counterexample.

Q: Community Promotion Ads - 2018

Grace NoteIt's almost February in 2018, which isn't supposed to be the proper time to cycle these, but for this year it'll be once again, so we'll be refreshing the Community Promotion Ads for this year now! What are Community Promotion Ads? Community Promotion Ads are community-vetted advertisements tha...

@ffao we're using the notation from my answer: 2^x|10^{3k}, yeah? So that means x<=3k. But also 10^k-10^{k/2}<=8^k which is pretty bad for obvious reasons (probably just induct or something)
 
@PuzzlingMeta potassium
 
8:42 AM
@Wen1now ah, right. so we still haven't ruled out the case where it is a multiple of 2^k but not a power of two
something like 10^k - x * 5 * 2^k
 
what is the question?
 
 
3 hours later…
11:33 AM
@ffao That's not too bad either, if (x,y) is a solution then so is (x-1,y-1) (most of the time) (at least, the lower bound holds) so we can reduce any solution to either (1,0),(2,0) or (3,0) of which our numbers are (2,20,200,2000,20000,...),(4,40,400,...) and (8,80,800,...), and only 8 works out of those
 
ah, got it
you should probably replace "bounding and stuff" in your answer with what you wrote here
and in this case, there really aren't any solutions that aren't (2,5). Bummer.
 
done'd!
 
12:19 PM
@Wen1now (40 mins later...) why only (1,0), (2,0) or (3,0)? what's wrong with (6,0) or (17,0) or...

Q: Alice and Brayden are playing a combinatorial game

Brandon WyattA string of letters $X_1\cdots X_n$ is called 2-palindome if it is a palindrome, or it can be split into two strings each of which are palindrome. Alice has a strip of paper, and the letter $A$ is written on it. Brayden has another string of paper, and the letter $B$ is written on it. At each ...
