A boy has as many sisters as he has brothers, but each sister has only half as many sisters as brothers.
How many brothers and sisters are in the family?
@Rubio Thanks. Will update soon (that obviously changed with the UI refresh). Also planning on incorporating GPR's nested parentheses code from many months ago and a rework of the way it renders so that it handles (mostly) all de-rot13-ing, even if people use different formats (I've seen rot13:blah, rot13[blah], (rot13)blah, rt13(blah), etc. None of which currently get caught).
Used in bluegrass,
no woodwind, no brass;
but have some class,
don't rhyme me with gas.
Anglers I face,
in ocean's embrace;
but in this case,
don't rhyme me with space.

I had started a bounty , but forgot to give away the bounty for the answer .
I understand after bounty expired it can be removed from featured TAB , but assigning bounty is removed after it has expired ?
This is totally wrong .
I have a number n
I increase n. I now have a new number n+1
I change my mind and decrease n: I now have a new number n-1
I change my mind again and increase. I am now back to n+1
No matter what I do along the above lines by increasing and decreasing, I can't get back to n.
What am I doing?

And this... this appeared under it as well, and I surely didn't write that!

A boy in order to tidy his room asks his parents for a cardboard box to store lots of small toys. Unfortunately they didn't find any but only a raw cardboard sheet of dimensions 60cm x 80cm. Being very busy they told him to make one by himself.
What are dimensions of the biggest cuboid box volum...
@Alconja cool. (I don't know if rot13:foo is something you can reliably handle; no trailing delimiter means you're outright guessing where it ends. but the other random forms people use, it'd be nice to have support for as well)
@Rubio I'm planning on keeping rot13(...) the "official" format, but adding a blanket "rot the whole comment" mode if a non-official mention of "rot13/rt13" is detected.
Rendering it inline, but separate to the original comment to make it as helpful as possible.
I think most (all?) the 'rt13's were one person who I recently asked to use rot13() and pointed at your userscript. so that may not be all that useful, though of course won't do any harm, to support.

An english, a french and a german are speaking.
First the english says : "M".
Then the french says : "M" as well.
And the german also says : "M".
They all agree and decide to change the order.
The german says : "D".
The french says : "V".
And the english says : "S".

I have more, but I risk giving myself away too easily.

Before you are 9 tribond puzzles. The solutions to each set of 3 (a, b, and c) creates a further tribond puzzle. Then, the answer to each of those (sets 1, 2 and 3) come together to form a final triplet to solve.

I'm assuming each [] yields a word or letter or sequence of letters or something like that. Though how I'm not sure. (Can't be that each [] is an A1Z26 letter, because there's [r] and [100-r].)

It was dark and cold in the land of Nemeria. A fellowship of heroes traversed a bridge in a straight line, one after another. Below them, only an abyss. They could hear the howling of strange creatures never seen by humans eyes. But they finally got to the other side of the bridge in safety. Thei...

This question was on my sister's 5th-grade homework, practicing order of operations. It was to make 18, using the numbers 1, 3, 4, 8 and the operations +, -, and *. The instructions imply using each operation only once. Additionally, grouping with parenthesis is allowed.
Neither my sister, my fa...
