^ Funny how no one spotted that so far

@bobble Hm - so on this topic. Before I posted an answer to a question, the existing answer was incomplete. After posting my more complete answer, the existing answer has been edited... Should I remove my answer? >.>;
 
I think you could have grounds to to ask for attribution
and no, you don't have to remove

Q: Greener Grasses: Nusi's Birthday

athinHere is another Greener Grasses puzzle. Also, happy happy birthday to my fellow Indonesian puzzler, Nusi! I'm sorry that I realize the puzzle was broken in the last-minute checking so a single letter on N was then removed.. XD Rules of Greener Grasses: Divide the white cells into regions of the...

 
there's a precedent for other answers being given and then edited into the main answer
 
I am not sure that their answer is clearer than mine TBH... but then I am biased ;p
TBH - I don't really care whether I keep the answer there or not, I just wanted to know the rules :)
 
There are no rules (or even recommendations) about that. You can keep it, or you can delete it.
Other users will just come and vote which one is good (which can be "clear", "cool", or whatever)

Okay then... I guess I will leave it unless it receives complaints.

@oAlt It's a bit of a long time to leave before making a snarky remark, isn't it? :/

Apologies if that is too easy.

Q: When you go fast

RobalniWhen you go, I may show. You fear me. I'll blast if you're fast. You'll hear me. You'll get a balloon and very soon, someone will come and clear me. Who am I?

 
We have quiet work time for a project, except I already finished the project, so I'm just going to do my own stuff and leave the video-call tab open so that I'm "present". Online school can be nice.
 
Hehe
I straight up don't have class on Wednesdays
 
6:31 PM
Any ideas on the C4?
 
no
 
It's well written
It could be def is "please" and Rip with the top (cover) off
Or the def could be "cover", with PLEASE without RIP
 
I had CON ("rip off") + FORT ("cover") until I realized that's not how COMFORT is spelt
oooooooooooh
CON + TENT
 
@bobble or maybe CON SOLE
(cover of the bottom of a shoe)
@bobble but this seems more likely
 
@Graylocke, are either my CONTENT or msh210's CONSOLE correct?
 
6:37 PM
(If CONSOLE was intended, (a) I'd not have found it (then) had you not said CONTENT and (b) CONTENT is as good a solution IMO. So you should take the next C4.)

You can create a new grid for the Nurikabe (a 9x9 grid with the numbers from the green squares in the corresponding squares), or solve it right on top of the Sudoku....

Q: What is the place that I am referring to?

MidnightA simple day began with a lonesome breakfast of some off-brand sugary cereal enjoyed by myself and the mutt. I call him that jokingly of course. He’s my only companion for most days and he spends more time with me than just about anyone. His name is Zebra. An 11 year old black and white striped m...

Q: If I eat you and you eat me

RobalniIf I eat you, you might eat me and then you won't ever be hungry again. If I eat you and you don't eat me, you might have dressed up for me. If I eat half of you, I might not be very tall. If I don't eat you when you eat me, I'm small, but not as small as when I fall. If neither of us eats the ot...
