Q: Is it a good idea to be able to hide my spoiling comment using `>!`?

uwnojpjmWhat do you think about being able to hide a comment? Would that feature bring value to this community?

 
1:25 AM
Was filling in a crossword and all the cross letters gave ARENT. Cue mind going "A-RENT? Does it rhyme with BRENT? Do I know this word? looks up"
 
to be fair there is a punctuation mark missing there

C4 hint: No anagrams.
 
6:05 AM
It would have been impressive to get an anagram into that, with just 7 letters in the solution. Not much of a hint :)
 
Sid
So, animated isn't an anagrind after all. Has to be the def.
 
if it were anagrind it would work on, at minimum, the word "movie" - if you can reduce the rest to just two letters, I'll be monumentally impressed ;)
 
@Rubio Well it was more for the benefit of Sid, since I have little indication of what thoughts people have :P
 
I'm stumped, I'll admit. Earlier today I had the passing thought of "I hope sp takes a crack at this so we can get a new clue I might have a shot at" before I was all "... oh."
 
Well, in this case - bigger hint: you don't need a synonym of "chat"
 
6:22 AM
oh. now that's a hint.
 
Sid
6:33 AM
Could overlooked mean removing some letters?
 
6:52 AM
overlooked is a subtraction indicator, yes
 
it could be "X, with Y overlooked"
 
Sid
I hope it's not CH with AT overlooked.
That would be downright evil.
 
Sid are you up for contact?
 
Sid
I have 20 minutes.
 
gratuitous punctuation for surface reading does not extend to sticking apostrophes mid-word, right?
 
7:01 AM
Right.
 
7:24 AM
@Rubio I admit that I'm trying to balance being able to have new clues to try solving and not seeming impatient by dishing out hints left right and centre :P (fairness-wise I think this one's okay - it's a little odd but not too complex in hindsight)

Q: Alternative answer to: "What has one eye but cannot see?"

rybo111I was playing a riddle app and it posed the question: What has one eye but cannot see? There are 12 available tiles of letters (each can only be used once): A A D E E E L N N O O U The app is expecting a specific six-letter answer, which is: However, I found an alternative six-letter ...

@Sp3000 M [ach] IN [at] IONS
 
11:34 AM
Yup (hope the split fodder wasn't too bad - I thought it'd be fine since it's given verbatim and is in order)
 
I didn't expect it to be given verbatim until you said it was
CCCC: Chat disregarded Minions -- maybe they are hasty? (6)

O_o
 
That's an impressive follow-up off the cuff I have to say, from the surface anyway :P

Q: Can anything be deduced from the statement "If I am a truth teller, the other two are liars"?

studentThere is a scenario which goes along the following lines: There are three friends. The friends are either truth tellers, or liars. One friend makes the statement: "If I am a truth teller, the other two are liars". What can I deduce from this statement?

What does "99 messages moved to Logic with Dattier" mean? :)
 
@MOehm proceed with caution if you wish to investigate ;-)
 
Sid
There were 99 messages in there? :o
 
@MOehm It means 99 messages were in this room, and I moved them to a room called "Logic with Dattier".
 
One of the Shpinx's posts got caught in there, as well.
 
6:05 PM
Whoops.
 
Shrapnel victim :)
 
I know, but that's just the meaning at face. But 99 is just a symbol, no? And "messages" depends on context, and ... ( Okay, I'll stop. I'm clearly no "logician". And also not good at making jokes.)
 
Sid
I really like there are no 69 jokes around here...
Got fed up of that in high school...
 
I could make 69 jokes if you want.
It might take a while to come up with that many, though.
 
We've had some before, mostly in Contact.
in Contact, May 4 at 23:37, by Volatility
69: or this more practical position?
 
Sid
6:10 PM
You get everything in contact
 
speaking of contact, who wants to play?
 
Sid
It's only midnight but I should sleep now. I got jogging tomorrow at 6.
 
that sounded amusingly like you have a college course in Jogging
(and I'm up for Contact)
 
Sid
6:33 PM
@Rubio well...sort of yes. One class per week.
I still don't get the logic behind that.
 
That's... actually a thing? wow
 
Do you actually jog in that class?
 
Sid
No grades, of course. But, the grumpy prof makes it a point to tell that he can fail us if we miss a class
 
FINAL EXAM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jog a 5k. As this is jogging, no walking nor actual running is allowed.
You have two hours. You may begin.
 
Sid
@ffao .. yes? 2 kms, 2 rounds, 1 hour
 
6:36 PM
5k yards?
 
hehe
5km
 
It might be a "creating healthy habits" thing, hoping that you'll continue jogging afterwards?
 
Sid
@ffao well, it obviously doesn't work since everyone hates it.
 
what's the point of taking a class, with no grade, doing something you hate
 
Might be that they needed to bench a sadistic teacher?
 
Sid
6:39 PM
It's...mandatory for everyone to take that
 
oh. my.
welp. Contact getting started
 
Sid
So, basically 900 students having jogging classes that they hate.
(I also hate the fact that I slept at 6 AM today and have to wake up at 6 AM tomorrow.)
 
Bureaucrats love to think that everything can be solved with rules
I really think the reason for this must be something like I suggested
But obviously in that case they would have to make an actual effort to make you like the class
e.g not putting it at 6am
 
I had PE classes at 5 A.M.
 
if I'm up at 5am it's cuz I'm still up at 5am
 
Sid
6:45 PM
@JohnDvorak sincere condolences
Anyway, good night. I have a long day tomorrow (6AM-4PM)
 
ninight
 
Oh, and those PE classes were across the town, 30 minutes by tram

Q: How many numbers are there for a $16*16$ matrix

Taha AkbariConsider all matrixes with $1,0$ if all the numbers are $1$ we define $S=1$ and if all the numbers are $0$ then $S=0$ if non of them happened then we divide it into $4$,$2^{n-1}*2^{n-1}$ matrixes and find the $S$ of every part let the amounts calculated from top left to down right be $d_1,d_2,d_3...

@Rubio Heh. I meant the comment, not the question :-P
 
I think the submitter meant the question, and I saw no reason to deny the request. :)
 
Pff, we could've just deleted the comment. That would've been funny.
 
Yep, fair enough.
As long as you didn't think it was the OP raising the flag.
 
that would have been funny. hehe
Nah, I knew whence the flag came.
 
That would've been a bit awkward - getting someone else's question deleted because you thought I was them.
 
9:00 PM
damn, now I'm curious
 
@JohnDvorak Get 10k then :-P
 
since you quoted the comment instead of just marking it obsolete, I thought you were raising the comment's request again. either way, it seemed a fitting thing to do.
 
No, I was trying to be funny with a meta-flag.
 
That's a long journey from 921, but ok :-)
 
Maybe I should save my meta-flags for meta.
 
9:01 PM
hehe
ok afk a while
 
@JohnDvorak Get Deus and Gareth to give you some bounties. They've got diamonds, so they don't need rep.
 
that's not kosher
 
9:37 PM
Surprised anyone got that one before Emrak, really.

Q: Esstimate the no. of jeans sold in a country (India) on an average day?

eragon1189How should I proceed in solving this question? It's a guesstimate.

 
@Sphinx That's not a puzzle.
 
11:12 PM
@ffao I think it's RACERS - [-cha]RAC[-t]ERS (def: they are hasty?)
 
11:24 PM
Right you are, @Alconja
 
Call to arms: ffao is defending in Contact
I hope the sequence of non-sequential deletions is now at an end. :)
 
@Rubio Wait another half hour and people will have stars available again ;-)
 
Mods have infinite stars, that's not really a limiting factor hehe
 
CCCC: Perhaps train it out of sobriety?
 
Enum?
 
11:31 PM
@Rubio Sure, but it's easier to spread the load.
I remember one time I was the only one in Contact with pin powers, so I just added a couple of new ROs on the spot.
 
The RO list is so long, we might as well add everybody who plays
 
CCCC: Perhaps train it out of sobriety? (5)
@Wen1now sorry :)
 
Wow, 3 CCCC's still pinned.
blames @Mithrandir
