So, I have ten books. My friend from Indonesia gave me ten and my friend from New York gave me 75. Then my sister took 4 but my brother got 1 back. Then I sold 15 to my friend from India and 5 to my friend in China.
Then I wanted to count them all again, but I didn't have enough time. I was wond...
I am using Debian 8, and have a PNG image with a "secret message" embedded in the code somewhere. The secret message is not located in the image itself, I am positive of that. I have tried some simple commands but found nothing that would have a prewritten message in it. Where do I look to find t...
I have an old, poorly constructed puzzle:
I've seen a better version of this, but all the internet searches I've tried have yielded either artistic designs or metal puzzles of interlocking rings.
What is this [type] of puzzle called, and is there a recommended place to purchase such things?
(A...
My prefix might be a bash for computer users.
My first infix is a lap, perhaps.
My second infix is an antioxidant, kind of.
My suffix is a small island.
When I'm assembled, I'm strangely attractive.
What is the word?
I've exclusively used Linux for desktop for, like, 15 years - my fairly recent new job, though, is all windows 10. i'm all muscle memory for being able to select text and then middle-click to paste it in somewhere
the worst is when i'm in front of my home machine, using VDI to get into a windows desktop at work, so I'm actually on my linux desktop where all my usual things work - but can't do them in the VDI, and can't run AHK there either
@jafe Correct! I think it's possible that @msh210 didn't want to go next but also possible that he didn't want to go next right then. But I think you're fully entitled to set the next one.
I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because this question does not appear to be about creation and solving of puzzles, within the scope defined in the help center.
By the way, the reason I haven't posted is approximately 1% stack drama, 99% complete lack of poetic inspiration
That's why I posted that one riddle about summer around memorial day of whatever year I did that; to get the alliteration in the first line out of my head
Lets have two sequences.
S1 12,45,171,648,2457,9315,35316 and
S2 21,81,306,1161,4401,16686,63261
The ratio of the last two terms 63261/35316 is almost equal to $\sqrt[3]{3(\sqrt{21}-1)-5}$. If we want a closer approximation we can obtain more terms of the above sequences. The question is h...

Why is it if we use 1 2 3 4 mod 5 and we take x^3 of this numbers, we come to: 1 3 2 4 (all numbers are different as you can see)
