Q: As a 10k user, how do I ignore deleted answers?

I just became a 10k user over at maths.SE, and now I see deleted answers, but I don't want to see them. (They're distracting.) How do I ignore deleted answers?

1) We require each question to have only one puzzle, five completely separate ones is way too many. 2) Some of these are off-topic - for example, #3 falls into a math problem as opposed to math puzzle 3) Some of these are duplicates (already posted before on this site) - for example, here is an essentially identical problem with the genders flipped from #5 4) On top of all those other issues, you're also missing proper attribution. — bobble 43 secs ago
