This is an extension of the puzzle The Minotaur's Labyrinth which is inspired by the comments from histocrat.
You are trapped (again) in a chamber at the center of the minotaur's labyrinth. There are $N$ tunnels, $m$ of which lead to safety; the remaining tunnels only lead back to the chamber. E...
@Rubio May I suggest that you say something like 'the containers in the bays are taken through the doors and measured'? It would make it a bit clearer (and I don't really understand what the doors had to do with anything in the first place).
GaMen. That v was intended to be typed somehere else, sorry. (NaN is not a number and therefore compares false to every other value, including itself.)
Eggs! Not only are my typing skills poor, I even suck at selecting the right windows.
I'll post a single letter here in chat for the next 30 days or so. They'll form a secret message. Or maybe you have to wfrite the letters in a calendar and it will be a wordsearch.
@Alconja No, that doesn't count as single letter. If you take all the letters I've fat-fingered in between my regular texts, you'd have the Necronomicon already.
I'm way more efficient with my puzzling typos. Just this oen alone, when repeated, contains the complete works of Shakespeare! It's just encrypted with a vigenere cipher... I've got 1000 typewriting monkeys working out the key as we speak.

Whenever the topic of a suspended user crops up, there's often confusion about what information moderators ought to share and what they should keep private. Sometimes moderators are just as unsure as other users. This can cause all sorts of unnecessary problems.

@Rubio I joined StackExchange on StackOverflow because I kept going there to get help, then realised that enough Python questions came that if I could write down an answer quickly, I could help people! It got boring pretty quickly... then I heard of Puzzling. The only time since that I've done something SO is to get 2 rep to get to a round 200 rep.
Yeah actually I was on SE because of a question on SO I had posted a community edit to LONG ago, before I actually signed up to any of the networks, that I was glancing back at. I happened to see that post somehow, probably having noticed something interesting on HNQ and eventually making my way to that question which I could actually answer. And life as I had previously known it ended. :)
In The Maze of Bones, Fiske (known as the Man in Black) is at the Franklin Institute in Boston when the Holts blow it up. His job is supposedly to watch over Amy and Dan and know everything about the other teams.
Did he know that the Holts were going to blow up the museum? Did he try to stop them?
So he asked me to link it on the forum there, in case anyone knew the answer. I told him probably not, as there aren't any external links allowed (and I was right).

@incesterror21 Emrakul prefers the pronouns "they" and "them" to reference them, so - your understanding notwithstanding, you're not using the pronouns Emrakul's profile indicates are correct
@incesterror21 It's a more common thing in the past, maybe decade? With an increased acceptance of people choosing their own pronouns, it's becoming more common that people with a preference will let you know what they prefer.
Perhaps they don't identify with a specific gender or pronoun. That's not up to anyone else to decide. If they prefer a non-descriptive one, then that's what we use.
^ that. Someone who either does not wish to disclose their gender (here) or does not identify with either gender in general would be free to let us know that they don't want to identified as a "he" or a "she" which is their right
The latter is increasingly common these days, but by no means rules out the former. Someone who really keeps a low profile might just want to preserve their gender as a mystery, and highlight it by explicitly not wanting to be called by either gender's pronouns.
