@Bubbler does "XX" imply concatenation or multiplication of the two values?

Concatenation.

Kek thanks

Fill in the nine X spots in the following equation using each of 1, 2, ..., 9 exactly once, so that the equation is satisfied. The XX in the denominator denotes concatenation of two digits. $$\frac{X}{XX} + \frac{X}{XX} + \frac{X}{XX} = 1$$ Source: the problem for January 1 on Mathematics Cale...

(@Bubbler was there a neater approach intended with the fraction alphametic apart from trial and error? i tried expanding both sides but that turned out to be messy and did not take me further)

6:16 AM
I didn't have a specific approach in mind (which happens with many other puzzles of similar kind), though one can still think of "this is likely to lead to a solution"-type of guesses as Gareth apparently did
Like, you know that one fraction should be large enough to make the sum of 1, so 1 should likely go in the tens position of a fraction and its numerator must be large
and if you introduce a prime factor in the denominator, it should be cancelled by the numerator OR by adding to another fraction having the same factor

@Sphinx The specifications here seem awfully like a programming competition, same as this one from the same user

(Spoiler: yes, it is from a programming competition.)

Also, if we have any 10k'ers here, could you check out the programming competition website from the previous question? Maybe the more recent question is from the same place.

I don't have time to look through everything there right now, but the site in question is codeforces.com in case anyone wants to take a look.

Urgh, I voted to reopen this question from the queue because I thought it really does somehow involve connecting integration with ZFC axioms, which would be an interesting challenge. Then I clicked through and read the answer, after which I concluded it's more likely the OP is just talking nonsense.
Apparently I can't undo a vote to reopen, so I cast a vote to delete instead.

I find it a sort of fascinating that their answer contains the line "Thank you for your answer. Can you give an example of a MCQ or this simplification of Axiom Z does not work?"
They're thanking themself, for their answer... within their answer

@Graylocke Is the answer CLOSED ddef?

I do not see how either definition would work, even just part-of-speech wise
Could you provide example sentences where the Substitution Rule would apply?

Well, CLOSED can refer to final moment, which is the final moment of something before it closes. It also refers to score below standard, like when a question's score is rated below standard, it is CLOSED! Neat!

I do not see an example sentence
In my opinion you're being too loose with defs again
