The smallest number divisible by 7 with seven 7s is trivially 7777777.
Then, what is the greatest 77-digit number divisible by 7 which contains seven 7s?
There is a function $f(x,y)=z$, and $2\cdot x<y$; $x, y, z \in N$ such that
$f(x=2, y=5)=32$
$f(x=2, y=6)=36$
$f(x=2, y=7)=40$
$f(x=3, y=7)=48$
$f(x=3, y=8)=52$
$f(x=3, y=9)=56$
Question. Can someone reconstruct the explicit form of the function $f(x,y)=z$, $2\cdot x<y$; $x, y, z \in N$?
Each cell in the lower-right 9x9 grid must contain a positive integer or be left blank. Numbers on the outside of the grid indicate the sums of one or more adjacent digits in that row or column, in order. Each sum is separated by at least one blank cell. No number can be repeated in a row or colu...
@LukasRotter Oh gods, enough with the pickle nonsense already. It's fine in chat, but there are people trying to solve puzzles on PSE who don't hang out here all the time, and it's Not Nice to post puzzles that those people literally have no way of solving.
@msh210 I don't like it all that much myself, but I've just got an intuition that says this was the puzzle setter's intended solution - it wasn't a joke answer. The user has an alias that is often at the centre of pickles chat here... I guess we can only wait and see what the OP says.
Please find below a word search puzzle. But it's not just any word search...the words you find cannot be too dense. The definition of a word in this puzzle:

C4 hints: (1) "Quaint or rubbish?" is so worded so as to be similar to a recent C4; otherwise, "Rubbish?" alone would suffice. (2-3) The answer is ....r....d where . stands for a letter (not necessarily the same letter each time).
@LukasRotter alternatively, he may be so interested that he's spamming away. Joking aside, I really hope that the user would learn from this, and by extension, that this situation won't eventually climax to the user getting banned.
Transmission Control Protocol is a network protocol that uses a few acknowledgements during communication. The running gag is to take it to be absurd (basically what you guys just did). UDP on the other hand would be "This is your message: blabalbla and I don't give a **** if you actually received it or not"
My prefix is a term for individuals of a certain gender
My suffix is a particle with an electron owed
My infix is a misnomer for ASCII code

Apologies for being the cranky old man, but a Riley riddle popped up in my feed, and I found myself doing it even though I really don't like them. Per the discussion on Meta, I went ahead and created an affix-riddle tag, and assigned it. (Affix is the generic term, per Wikipedia, which as we know is always accurate.)
If this makes you think I'm a jerk, then...I lasted a lot longer here than in most fora :-)
@Randal'Thor Apologies...you are correct. I was thinking filtering would not work if both were applied...but probably more an indication I should get away from the computer for a bit.
I already had this feeling that OP of this would add things that everyone already realized as the first hint... Welp, maybe the extra attention from the front page will get it solved.

There are many topics that polarize. But not a single topic comes close to the one and only, age-old question that some claim is the root of all division between people: "Are pickles disgusting or not?"

Have you ever heard the tale of darth plagueis the wise? Legend has it that he was a pickle. He could save his family, but not himself, from defenestration.
Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Pickle of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to eat pickles... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from not eating pickles.
The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was defenestration, which eventually, of course, he encountered. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice threw him out the window. It's ironic he could save others from defenestration, but not himself.
If you all want to continue with the anti-pickle thing, it might be worth making a separate room for it. Gareth seems to have been getting frustrated with it, and I know I have as well.
NPG = No Pickle Gang or Nice Pickle Gang? Nopickle will ever no
alternatively, Nasty Pickle Gang and Nutritious Pickle Gang (I spent a lot of time looking for random words starting with N and having positive/negative connotations)
I was going to make a 10 liars puzzle
where the author is one of the liars
but I couldn't find a way to make it work
because then they could've been lying about the # of liars

Assuming it means something like tension in real life, it makes sense it's more at the bottom, since the ball is making the string more tense there and less at the top
Realistically, the string is much more likely to go slack (and stop spinning) at the top than at the bottom. Why is that true? (I don't know, but if you do then you may have an answer to your question.)
