I need help. Try to solve this puzzle. It's a blend of mathematics and words. The goal of word math problems is to assign each letter an integer value, 0-9. An example is below.
Example: MAKE + KEYS = PSST
In this example: E = 3, K = 1, A = 4, Y = 5, S = 7, T = 0, M = 8, and P = 9.
When you us...
"Divide the grid into 1800 symmetrical regions along the gridlines, so that each cell is part of only one region. Each region must contain exactly one black dot, which represents the central symmetry point of the region. All circles are given and all white cells must be part of a region.The black cells are not part of any regions. "
A half open door is always the same as a half closed door. And of course it is not a door when it is a jar. Hint: We're not talking about clopen doors. All our buildings are very simply connected, thank you.
What could be the answer?
@Wen1now Yeah, I'm not seeing a way to deal with that region either... Seems like it would have to go through one of the two dots immediately below the P (else it would have to extend too low into the INDIA), but which ever way you come around the top of the P, you come up a square or two short...
wait.. do the rules say that all white squares need to be part of a galaxy, or can there be "holes"?
You've got to fill the whole thing, yeah?
In fact, never mind. It wouldn't make any sense to not fill everything, since then you could just do the minimal 1 or 2 square galaxies directly around each dot.. :)
@MOehm That's probably because (a) All the def(if it is indeed a quintuple def) are too close to each other or (b) We are all treading down the wrong path
It is possible to migrate a question from one Stack Exchange site to another by closing, but if I have a question that I think is on-topic for multiple Stack Exchange sites, is it OK to post it on both (multipost)?
For example, I have a question that's earned me the tumbleweed badge on SO and I...
@Skyvask Basically, you figure out how to split the clue into either "[definition][wordplay]" or "[wordplay][definition]". And the indicator words in the wordplay need to match what's there.
You just need a way to switch the positions of three pieces to solve it, honestly. If you have a three-cycle, you pretty much win. It's just like, getting that three-cycle is a paain.
(My first attempt was... almost 100 moves long. Which... no.)
If "salt water may rust your car" is a valid usage, I won't complain, but I thought the subject of the verb "to rust" was whatever is affected by rust, not the corrosive agent. No hard feelings. :)
Return an array that contains exactly the same numbers as the given array, but rearranged so that every 3 is immediately followed by a 4. Do not move the 3's, but every other number may move. The array contains the same number of 3's and 4's, every 3 has a number after it that is not a 3, an...
Well done to @Zyerah for solving the Weird Gear Cube, to @Sp3000 for a really nice clue surface, and to Skyvask for providing us with the best Google translation I have ever seen. (Disappointingly, if I ask Google to translate "couverts" into English it gives something much less exciting.)
So yeah, I can indeed reproduce it. Entering other French words into the English side of an E->F translation doesn't produce such glories, though. At least not the ones I've tried so far.
This is so frustrating. I kept trying the spiral galaxies and reached a contradiction. All my steps seem fine to me, so I don't know what could possibly have gone wrong :(
There is a broken two-pan arm scale, consists of different weighed pans and different arm lengths.
You are trying to weigh three different weights called X,Y,Z. You also know that the weights are even numbers:
When you place X and Y to the right hand side of the scale, 20g is needed to the l...

You have digits 0 to 9.
You have to find the lowest number possible for the difference of 2 5-digit numbers.
e.g. 98765 - 43210 = 55555
What is the lowest number you can get?
Also add a explanation please. Thx.
I go to great lengths for you to understand
I never change my stripes, I stick to what you planned
I bend and reach for you, in any given frame
With no delay, on your command, I'm back to whence I came

I am a computer’s worst nightmare, but a programmer’s best friend.
I am both the cause of a problem and the source of its resolution.
