@Alconja - you make a good point about my answer to Stacks' puzzle not really being accessible. Would you recommend just scrapping it and writing a more "normal" answer? Putting a more normal answer above / below it?
Sure, but puzzles are "not really accessible" by design. An answer, ideally, should explain things, and I admit that the one I posted doesn't quite do that as well as it could in several places.
(And posting an entirely different answer would be seen as a rep-grab, which is why I'd like to stick to one post.)
I think I'd just leave what you have, then put a <hr> and put the step by step of how you went about solving it. I.e. in logical attack order, not in question order. That way you have the question ordered overview, but also the explanation of how you got there.
Sure, makes sense. I was hoping to integrate the explanation with the wrapup post, but that might not have worked out very well. (I could reorder the parts to be in logical attack order, but that might just be a patch on an answer that doesn't quite work by itself.)
Yeah. It's tricky. I like the way you presented your answer, but I'm not sure it's possible to do that and give a step by step (at least not together)...
For many years I've been playing Spider Solitaire on Windows, always at the Easy level. A few days ago a Windows 10 update was applied, and I can see that Spider Solitaire has changed - the sound effects are slightly different, for example.
But what I'm experiencing is that the game seems to hav...
The title technically describes this puzzle. There are, after all, four grids here outlined in black. Each is itself a square from which you can also make 4 4x4 squares, 9 3x3 squares, 16 2x2 squares, and 25 1x1 squares; for a total of (25 + 16 + 9 + 4 + 1 ) * 4 = 220. But that's not the point...
I did some editing anyway, so having the .pdn file was helpful anyway
anyway, for H Walters' puzzle, I notice that the "solution" grid has a blue dot by the d in the third row. I still have no idea what the symbol under the lower left grid is supposed to mean, since it doesn't appear anywhere else - these symbols don't happen to be part of some canonical set, do they?
@Alconja Well for one they completely revamped the extension system so a lot of the extensions that made FF good aren't available for Quantum (or at least took a few months to port to Quantum)
This is my first riddle, and I kinda like Riley riddles, so here goes nothing.
My beginning is a fake.
My ending, faeces it means.
My middle is a unit of electron flow rates.
However, as a whole, I keep you clean.
Please comment on how to improve on it! Thank you!
I can be winding and I can be straight.
I can be smooth and I can be rough,Sometimes both.
I start out black but fade to brown the more I am used.
My favorite colors are yellow and white, and I love stripes and dashed lines.
What am I?
Some of them would say I'm half a duck
I may be used if you want to try your luck
I inspired your sweetest dreams, will say the most accurate
But for only 15 of them, it was worth a rate
Some of them tend to collect me
Even if I'm usually just worth a few penny
Note : Sorry, this puzzle almost similar with last question:
Main propose of this QUESTION is:

B-C=A
C+D=E

Hint 1 A*D=A

Apologies in advance if this isn't the right place to put this thread, but I couldn't see how to contact the moderators to double check. Mods, please feel free to move/delete the thread if it's not suitable for this forum.
Basically, I'm working towards publishing an online puzzle magazine and I need test-solvers to make sure the puzzles are fair. The magazine would be about 50% cryptic crosswords and cryptic crossword variants of the sort popularised by Cox & Rathvon, 25% stand-alone word puzzles, sequence puzzles, and codes/ciphers, and 25% Treasure Hunt Puzzles.

@Sid I think it's a phishing site, can't even think of a reason it has even got an HTTPS certificate...
the signup link isn't really a link, and "logging in" just refreshes the page, so they probably got my PII (that is, if temp-mail.org counts as such, hehe)
No, HTTPS does not necessarily mean that a site is not malicious. HTTPS means very little as to the security of a site. It's specifically geared to keep your communication with the site secure from eavesdroppers and tampering, but offers nothing as to the security of the site itself.

This year, he gave Steve’s daughter the same information, but she guessed the ages incorrectly as well. If the sum is between 20 and 30, what are...
