Soooo
I should downvote yours too?
@thecoder16 I don't think this applies to Puzzling SE
 
Exactly, that's my point
 
....!
WARNING WARNING BEEP BEEP: Everyone brace yourself! TheCoder16 is about to go on a downvote streak! Massive reputation loss guarateed! There is no stopping this!
 
On the contrary, most good questions on puzzling need a lot of effort to even be asked
 
Granted
@ffao However, I would like to point out the massive amount of upvotes for lazy puzzles
For example, explain how I got 11 upvotes from this:

Q: Riley again, this adds flavor to food

Jake OPJMy prefix a conjuction is, an alternative thing. My infix add an l to it, there's royalty, and king. My suffix negative it is, can't add another hint. But all the words together fit and I'm a spice, like mint.

You know that the puzzle is lazy when it takes me (an amateur) 30 seconds to solve it

@North this is also a problem in PPCG
 
PPCG is what...?
Aah Programming Puzzles & Code Golfing
What does that supposed to mean
 
@North what do you think?
 
an extremely fun hobby that i try to partake it but fail bc i'm not good enough for that site
exactly what that is
 
12:36 AM
You use computer programming to create ciphers and puzzles — I get that, but what the heck is code golfing?
looking it up
So PPCG is basically a computer programming version of Puzzling SE
That's cool
 
1:06 AM
the problem with ppcg
is that there are all these languages like Golfscript, Jelly, etc that are hard tocompete with

I will swallow your frightened, shivering body. You will feed me your children before I eat you. What i...

 
2:50 AM
@North 61 people thought the answer to Why the 7 Apples? was sufficiently meritorious to warrant upvoting it.
Include the other people who answered the same thing within the first, what, 2 minutes
and it's over 110 cumulative upvotes for the utterly obvious answer to an utterly uninteresting brainteaser.
I despair for this community sometimes.
@North Anyway. In the game of golf, you want the lowest score. In code golf, you want the lowest bytecount solution.
So code golfing is reducing the program to the minimal length possible, irrespective of what that does to its fault tolerance or efficiency. :)
 
3:11 AM
@Rubio My point exactly
@Rubio I upvoted that, because I felt bad for QuantumTwinkie for not being accepted for a very long time
@Rubio I think this is due to the lack of exposure to good puzzles (not saying I make good ones, but ive seen beautiful and thought out ones a handfull while browsing)
 
There's plenty of good puzzles. It's quite unfortunate when they get lost in a morass of low quality stuff - and, sadly, people have a habit of jumping on whatever bandwagon seems to be catchy at the moment, so a bad trend can spread like wildfire.
 
Sid
@Rubio how is that not a dupe?
 
Trends come and go, but - it usually takes a good amount of negative reinforcement before a given trend starts to finally die.
 
Sid
Did no one ever ask that on Puzzling before?
 
No, nobody ever stooped that low before. :)

Q: A king in a fort with two doors with two buttons

A J A king wants to go outside. He comes to the end of the fort. There are two doors there, and two buttons. These buttons do opposite things - if you push button 1, the king will come out of door 2 and vice versa. If you press both at once, you don't know through which door the king will come out...

Q: Vulgar wedding situation

Radovan GarabíkThere was a wedding. When the right time came, the bride elbowed the groom, and he said, loud and clear, "Asshole". The officiant nodded and continued with the ceremony. Perhaps only the groom's parents could have been a bit amused, but not really. At the end, everyone was happy, such as wedding...

 
8:38 AM
@North Don't upvote things based on who posted them. Our goal is to have high-quality puzzles and answers, and that does not deserve 61 upvotes.
@Mithrandir got 'em
 
Sid
@Deusovi That was pretty stern...
 
@Deusovi another one just posted - puzzling.stackexchange.com/users/48261
 
8:57 AM
Got it.
@Sid Well, I'm a bit mad that masterpieces like puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions/58194/… and brilliant answers like puzzling.stackexchange.com/a/55035/11876 have barely half the votes that a blatantly obvious answer like that has.
 
Sid
@Deusovi The Curse of HNQ...
 
9:38 AM
I fully agree that that answer doesn't deserve anything like 61 upvotes, but to be fair I don't think North meant "I voted for QuantumTwinkie because s/he is a Good Person" or anything else that amounts to upvoting things based on who posted them. Surely North's meaning was "another answer had been accepted but I thought this one should have been instead and tried to compensate".
 
Ah, I read it as "I voted for QuantumTwinkie because they hadn't had any accepted answers in a long time".
 
Ah.
I don't think either is a good reason for upvoting that particular answer in that particular case, of course.
@North If Deusovi's interpretation is correct, then I fully endorse everything he said. If not, I agree with him that you shouldn't have upvoted that answer but don't agree with his specific reason for saying not to :-).
 
Sid
@Sphinx this is just "guess what I am thinking" territory

@Deusovi Not to mention all of paramesis' puzzles, which deserve probably 1000 upvotes each
 
12:36 PM
True!
 
1:02 PM
Guten ${something}
 
Is there a tag to warn that the puzzle might be unsolvable for some people? E.g. Because of colour- or stereo-blindness while a puzzle relies on it.

You could create fun or interesting puzzles which rely on these aspects, but they are unfair to certain members.
 
hm, I don't think so
 
No, there's no need for a tag for that. Just warn people at the top of the puzzle or something.
 
It might spoil the solution. (A tag might as well)
 
what Deus said, such tags would be so-called meta tags, which are not allowed by network-wide SE policy
and there's one basic reason I agree with that policy: you shouldn't be able to abuse the ≥1 tag constraint by trivially putting a meta tag in
 
1:36 PM
@Deusovi Have you seen arxiv.org/abs/1804.02385 (a recent article about the chromatic number of the plane)
 
Yeah! Saw it a few days ago - I was really surprised that it was just solved by "throwing a bunch of vertices together". I expected it to take more sophisticated methods.
(not that the result isn't impressive - I just assumed it would be nonconstructive)
 
I worked on that for a while and read a lot of the literature, and there were several people who were working on building large unit distance graphs. It's so messy, and if you think about how you might program it, it's pretty horrible
Sadly, a lot of my results are due to computer calculations, but I never had the heart to sit down and try to grapple with unit distance graphs.
 
@Deusovi so I found this thing on Google Books
 
Sid
@thecoder16 paramesis's puzzles are too smart for me and as it appears even for the majority of PSE
 
@Ankoganit Huh. That's a thing that exists.
 
Sid
1:42 PM
@Ankoganit Puzzling's puzzles are now written in a book?
 
apparently so
 
There's a guy who does that on like every site.
 
Yeah, that's the guy.
 
Good morning
I've never been pinged so much
 
You can buy bound copies of Wikipedia articles on Amazon, in case you have money and are also a moron
 
1:47 PM
Huh
 
it's just one of the consequences of the licensing we and wikipedia are under
 
@EricTressler What the heck
 
it's totally legal (with maybe a few caveats) to just copy this stuff and sell it. try reading the license
 
????
Wow
 
The reason it's not that prevalent is that most people aren't willing to buy it, so it's not that lucrative
 
1:48 PM
Whew
At least people aren't That dumb
 
Sid
@EricTressler shouldn't people get paid for because their original work is copied?
 
Yeah, that's what I thought
 
@Sid no, explicitly not, according to the terms of the license
 
That's dumb
 
I really want to who bought the Puzzling book, if any
 
1:51 PM
It's really not, it's just subtle. I have to say, I'm not a lawyer or anything, but I do have to deal with software licenses more than the average person, so I'm moderately familiar.
Ok, I can boil this down, though. If you want to have a really permissive license (like CC BY SA-3.0), you can't forbid anyone from doing much of anything. Hence, in the human-readable version of that license, we have "You are free to: ... Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially."
This is the kind of language that lets you use code libraries in your projects without hiring a team of lawyers
 
@EricTressler ...with attribution
at least the license we use is that
 
yea, right; it's never okay to claim you wrote something that you didn't, even if it were somehow legal. that's basic plagiarism
 
The Creative Commons Share Alike 3.0 license allows you to copy and reproduce content, as long as you provide proper attribution: A link to the source and to the author.
@EricTressler CC BY SA 1.0 allows forgoing attribution.
 
just reading that disgusts me
 
And I don't recall what's required by some of the other permissive licenses like MIT or LGPL2, but I do read them carefully when I use them. Sometimes you don't have to even give attribution (legally), but you still can never claim to have written something that you didn't write.
@EriktheOutgolfer reading what?
 
1:58 PM
1 min ago, by Mithrandir
@EricTressler CC BY SA 1.0 allows forgoing attribution.
this fact
 
That might be why they made a new version?
 
1.0 has been deprecated.
 
It's hard to get these things right; there's a whole thing about people trying to write their own friendly licenses and bungling it
 
how can licenses get deprecated...
 
"we screwed this up, use v2.0 instead, sorry"?
 
probably issues with the way the license is worded
 
(I looked all this up yesterday because I was trying to find a license that said "use this however you want")
 
that's the WTFPL Unlicense

Q: What is the right algorithm for orienting the yellow corners. Beginners method 3x3

Austin Bierma What is the right algorithm for orienting the yellow corners? Beginners method 3x3 I have tried about 2-3 websites but they don't have the algorithms. Could I have some help with the algorithms? Thanks.

i hereby release all comments i write under the CC SA 1.0 licence

or (basically) the CC0 as well IIRC?
 
@Sphinx now that's the definition of unclear
 
@Mithrandir that's not exactly "use this however you want" though
 
no offense
 
@ASCII-only it wasn't exactly serious... although I don't care if it was.

Hey guys!
I'm quite new here, so I wanted to ask something
if I have another answer to a riddle, should I post it as another answer or as an edit of my previous one?
 
If your previous answer was invalid for some reason, then edit it; otherwise, go ahead and post another answer.
 
SE generally allows posting multiple answers
 
(But if there are two completely valid answers, then the question is likely to be too broad anyway.)
 
hey @Deusovi! I read somewhere that you were kidnapped :D
 
well, that's an issue with riddles, you never know whether there's another answer which can fit, regardless of how much you try to narrow it
 
2:47 PM
looks like there is wifi over there
 
@LinuxBlanket A few of us have been kidnapped. Our benevolent captors have granted us the boon of internet access, though.
 
@Rubio kinda nice of them, must be boring to be kidnapped
 
Eh, they're used to it by now.
 
One tends to get caught up on one's reading, yes.
 
I don't think it's possible to moderate Puzzling.SE without being the victim of some dastardly plot.

Who says we're not already ghosts?
 
That would certainly explain why Rubio never sleeps.

@Deusovi I just got an email back from my advisor saying that there's a 826-vertex graph under consideration already, so I guess this paper got some heavy attention

Like getting a group of people who have a total of 10k rep to kidnap mods?
 
@Dragonrage hmm?
 
i can make a puzzle that makes 10k+ rep users kidnap mods
or mods kidnap other mods
tbh, its probably safer that way so i dont get arrested for kidnapping

Too broad?
 
Unclear. What counts as a valid invalid proof? Can I just divide by zero and call it a day?
 
1 is an arbitrary symbol in this case, and therefore, 1 can be 0, and 11111=0 beecause 1 is zero, so it is actually 00000=0
 
too broad. This is a puzzling site, not a philosophy crash course.

I think the background text makes it just enough to avoid too broad since hexomino's answer is obviously the correct one

5:48 PM
@Sphinx Reviewers: close votes please, this is a formal logic question and not a puzzle.
@MikeQ et.al., I realize that, given this is a Q&A platform, it's easy to think the point here is to answer people's questions. It isn't. The point is to create a repository of questions and their answers, about Puzzles and their creation and solving, that will be of use to current and future visitors.
We do that by keeping off-topic questions and irrelevant or redundant answers out, and that's something everyone in the community ideally is helping to do. If you know it's off topic and should be closed, maybe help the asker understand why in a comment, but then please vote to close, don't answer it.
 
@Rubio I saw an opportunity to mention Russell's teapot, and I took the shot.
 
Not picking on MikeQ - just a current example close at hand. I just see way too many questions being answered instead of being ushered into oblivion where they rightly belong, and it's frustrating when the community lets through a lot of ... junk.
 
in The Awkward Silence, Apr 10 at 19:10, by Mithrandir
At the end of the day, the point of this site is to create a repository of useful questions and answers about interpersonal skills. We're not here to solve all your problems. We have a very specific goal and that sometimes means not helping the OP with what exactly they wanted to ask and instead answer a related question that's a good fit for the site.
 
Wow Mith
Youbate in quite a bot of rooms
 
I'm not in as many as usual at the moment.

@Mithrandir IPS has it far worse. I feel for Catija.
 
Mhm.
 
says the one who is in 27 rooms
 
@EriktheOutgolfer normally it's 29
 
@Rubio You're right that it's not a puzzle. But I figured the explanation on why "not false" =/= "follows" was helpful to (at least) the asker.
 
Nah, I'm actually currently in 29, usually in 31.
@MikeQ Exactly. We're not supposed to be helpful.
That may sound harsh, but we're not here to solve every problem they OP has.
 
Sid
6:02 PM
@Rubio I feel for almost all the mods/high-rep active users in IPS. They go through a lot of flak everyday
 
We're here to ask and answer questions about a very specific topic.
 
@Mithrandir don't count private rooms :P
 
@Mithrandir Thats like that in Christianity SE, too
 
@MikeQ Granted. But someone asking, in P.SE, why they shouldn't delete /bin/bash, would probably find an answer helpful - but they're not entitled to one here, and giving them one here is actually contrary to the goal of keeping a drek-free site.
 
well, maybe the fact that this site is called "Puzzling" makes it worse, we have a few SO questions over PPCG (Programming Puzzles and Code Golf) too

No one has solved the C4
Interesting....
Hello Sir TrevorPowell
 
1) it's by Doorknob 2) that's why it's still there
 
@EriktheOutgolfer ?
 
I hate calling SE sites "curated" collections of questions and answers - because I hate that word in that context - but to some extent it describes the objective of quality-controlled, weed-free content that is pointedly relevant to the site scope for each site.
 
once a C4 is solved it's changed, and usually by the solver
 
6:06 PM
Where should formal logic questions go? Math.SE?
 
Logic SE
jk
 
Dunno. Not here. :)
 
I dont think math se would be very receptive either of logic
 
It's not a puzzle. It's a test question.
There is a difference.
 
I think logic questions are acceptable on Math.SE.
They even have an entire chatroom for it.

@Rubio "resuscitation" is such a fancy word that it will surely be defended once in a contact game
 
@EriktheOutgolfer A bounty hunter just snipes?
 
I don't think anybody here would hate a few more rep ;)
 
RESU* is pretty sparse, I don't think it'd make that good a word

@Sid Fancy? I have a feeling this is an inside joke
 
@North What really hurts is watching a bounty (my first!) expire with no answers on PPCG :(

@Scrooble Happened to me once
 
A bounty is always a gamble.
 
Yeah
 
I've put up over a thousand rep in bounties over the network.
 
6:33 PM
@Mithrandir I'm more than happy to give 200 of my rep though to whoever solves the puzzle
 
I kinda chuckle when a rather poor puzzle gets bountied by its creator with the aim of drumming up more votes, and then not getting any (or, even worse, getting downvoted)
 
Most have not resulted in an answer.
 
Sid
@North So far, your puzzle doesn't seem to have garnered much attention. Maybe, give a hint?
 
i put a bounty on one of my SFF questions. i got a bunch of upvotes on it that gave me rep back, but no answer :(
 
I'll add another hint
 
6:38 PM
...huh, I've offered more rep in bounties than I thought.
 
generous
 
1,700 rep offered in bounties across the network.
 
woah I've totally offered 1,000
 
That's a generous amount :)
 
Sid
6:41 PM
I probably have offered bounties once or twice. I remember a single instance though
 
well, technically 500 was because of volunteering

@Mithrandir that doesn't make sense, the "BY" is specifically for attribution
did they make a mistake?
CC SA is explicitly supposed to forgo the attribution requirement, but not CC BY SA
 
I probably wrote the wrong thing.
 
well, different licenses having different "codes" for their names :P
 
Ten minutes of Google does not make me an expert ;)
 
@Mithrandir contrary to popular belief
 
there are many people who don't realize that no?
 
8:37 PM
so there are qualities to the CC licenses which you can combine to choose your license
BY (Attribution) means it has to be attributed
SA (Share Alike) means it has to be shared under the same license
and I believe there is an NC for Non-Commercial Use too

Worst is downvoting
 
@North its not copying, its showing i can be clever in the same way you are clever because im not creative enough to think of the fad in the first place
 
@ffao well, I think it's been going on for a pretty long time and shouldn't be called a "fad" anymore

Basically some lazy users (or new ones, but I don't blame the new users) take what's in the HNQ or a very highly upvoted puzzle that is easy to make, and attempt to earn some free rep that way. Maybe we can do something to let users know that new and creative questions will be better received in general by the community. I believe the tour mentions that, but I doubt people actually read the tour.
