The numbers 1 through 6 are arranged so that any number resting between and below two other numbers is the difference between those two numbers. A square between 2 adjacent circles means the difference is 1.
Using numbers 1 through 15, fill in the circle's below to create
a "difference triangl...
Well done! @Sconibulus @n_palum @BeastlyGerbil :-) And whoever added there inputs.
@Deusovi I didn't use stegano at first thinking that it will be solved without that. But people started going in an incorrect direction with the countries name and hence decided to do that. It was the same old method of hiding text. :-) Thanks for the solve guys!
As a bit of mild criticism, I think that the visual part was a bit out of proportion: A whole screenshot just to get the ISO icon, which was rendered at a very small size. And ISO is a collection of standards for many things, not just country codes. Anyway, it's solved now. Yay!
@MOehm Yes. I didn't had any better way to clue ISO. And thought to go with that. ISO type was easily identified in comments before but the user didnt took it ahead. And yes, I should have taken small part of the whole image but just thought it was fitting the theme. Anyway, thanks for the tip :-)
@Techidiot: Well, just saying. These are just minor points. And maybe I'm just miffed because I didn't get it although I could see the ISO connection. ;)
Regarding my CCCC: Yesterday I said that there have already been good observations about it, such as this one.
No, you don't need to know the name of any particular festival. (At least no obscure festival such as the Red Herring Bay Festival of Independent Puzzle Solving Culture.)
I wanted to go, too, but I got lost and ended up at Wrong Track Mountain. That was a bit annoying and really a waste of time.
About the last answer to your visual puzzle: Integration points are a thing; they are the discrete points at which values for an approximate quadrature are taken. I use them (indirectly) every day at work.
Pop music these days is all same old, constant volume (loud), verses+choruses+bridge=magic formula, mostly singing about the same topics, synthetic noises everywhere
@Rubio , you dog! (but at least that gives me a bit to really see why you mentioned these) sleep well, @Rubio!
@boboquack , you dog! I'm still in an enigmatic intaglio (malaprop, but sounds good) over [Mi, So, Re, Do?](htttps://puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions/49303/mi-so-re-do)
I made a new puzzle game and I hope you want to test it and tell me what you think of it.
The puzzle is called Cubicks and the free version is called Cubicks Free. It is for tablets or smartphones.
If you are not sure you are interested you can go to http://www.cubicks.com/ first or see this Y...

Doing Japanese work and when I first came into the chat I was still on a romaji keyboard, and couldn't be bothered changing it for my first few messages.
I guess you could keep it simple and do something like "Cause Japanese loss (4)" but still it's... a bit weird and requires knowledge you can't expect most people to have

@humn Thanks for all those kind words and the bounty! (I would've said this long ago; but I spent a long time trying to cook up something at least half as poetic as you, before finally giving up.)
Deus in general doesn't seem to like elision much ("loudspeaker" being a rare exception, but I can hear Deus saying "that's because the split is at a logical place"), but personally in this case it'd be a clue I'd accept but wouldn't do much myself
Hello, @Ankoganit, your well-deserved bounty will take a week to fully arrive and, yeah, I spent a long time, too, looking for the right-enough words; in real life I sound like a gutter rat.
I have more beef with the def here though, since while a draft can be unedited, it's an adjective describing the noun and not really giving the definition...
(or, if you're arguing "draft" is an adjective, it's still not quite the same thing)
@TheGreatEscaper Interesting progress: a brute force shows there are only 8 triangles for n=3 and 4 each (counting reflections), 2 for n=5, and none for n=6 !
By the way, @bobo quack, your puzzlyglot meant something extra to me. To implement some efficient and readable text editor code, once upon a time, required making polygot source files readable as both high and assembly level languages.

@humn Every time you edit your post after messaging me, it pings again. It's quite comical because I switch tab, only to see an (*) pop up, so I switch back, but it's only a small edit, so I switch tab...
@Techidiot By the way, some of the words in the question have been 'inadvertently' concatenated. That will result in the proper text for each sentence, when you fix it. But anyway, you haven't got the full answer. Check your transcriptions again.
It should be quite obvious, once you have the sentences just cross-reference them with the text to find where things have been changed. Speaking of which, did you find the sentences for the first two? (I'm not quite sure)
Cruciverbalists may appreciate this impressive bit of misdirection in yesterday's Guardian cryptic: American saw evidence of deterioration after doing exercises, pathetic (2,3,2,5)

I want to make perfect hot cross buns by superimposing two 12-hour clock faces on top of each other. Is this possible, and if so, how many ways are there of doing so?
In other words, how many pairs of times are there which, when displayed together using the hands of two 12-hou...

You're in-between a circle and a line, in a certain envelope of mine.
Added to laughter you'll be glad, but too many of you will silence add.
Who are you?
