Q: Nazari, the violinist's, age

My clue earlier was actually broken... Meant to be circular ddef but I don't think you can use "circular" for lines. "Curved", yes, but not "circular". And even if you can, it isn't applicable to the arcs that are a very small portion of the circle, because those arcs would look much like straight lines
"Like many arcs joined together?" would probably have been better

If throw away didn't have a space, it would almost work with throwaway = catalog, which could be spelt c at a log, which would only work if log = r somehow. But throw away in the clue has a space...
abandon could work but the could is doing very heavy lifting, because we have to justify that bandon or b and on or band on or whatever can mean rc...

Prim3numbahWhat is the answer to this puzzle? + - - > < < > + < > > < > < < > AAACGIMNORTTT → (3,1,2) → ??? EEILNNOPRSSTU → (2,1,4,3) → ¿¿¿¿ ...

@Jafe CCCC Hint: This answer is correct.

CCCC: From X, usually (5)
13:28

@oAlt Hey, look! A triple six and a quadruple eight in this chat message's thing!
(I wonder if I can try to get the 66666666th message in chat...)
@Jafe Thanks, Jafe!
the nuuuumber of the beeeeast?
freaking finally managed to make a sudoku grid work that i've been trying to make for months
it's a 8x8 but the boxes are arranged like so instead of all horizontal
somehow much harder to make than the normal style, at least to me
@Jafe Indeed. I'm trying to get that, or at least round(10^8/3).
13:36
are those numbers network-wide? is it still days away if there's like 30k numbers left
I believe so; there can't be 66 million messages in the Lair already, right!?
yeah prolly not
or PSE rooms in total
Hm.
Let me try to send quick consecutive messages.
Did you know that 6 is my least favourite number?
Hexagons are great.
CGPGrey likes hexagons.
666.
The number of the beast.
Am I trying to summon Satan?

@juicifer finally got access to the archive sheet (thanks @GPR) and added the medal table to the sequence solvers sheet
which also means the spreadsheet I originally created is obsolete, so use the one on the official sheet
btw a belated congratulations to @oAlt, who has taken over the #1 spot all-time!
congrats!
@Jafe yep correct!
@PolygonPotpourri oh lol wow
@juicifer lol thanks
CCCC: "See you around after church, alright?" leads to fling (5)
Also I got the c and d the wrong way round in my previous message... Should be d->c, not c->d
14:28
@Jafe ch. (u c)< k

@Sphinx How likely are these types of assessments
Not necessarily because I'm doubting, but because I'm curious

This one has a little twist; for your answer to be accepted, you also need to figure out the connection between all sixteen of these words. Good luck!

Q: A strange spelling test

AmozI didn’t do so well on my spelling test. My teacher gave me a passing grade for effort, but wrote four random letters on the paper, which confused me. They looked like they were describing a U.S. state, which made no sense. What grade did I get (3 words, across) and what did my teacher mean when ...
