What is the minimum number of 1/4 turns of a solved 2x2 Rubik’s cube, such that no face will have two tiles of the same color?
(I do not have this puzzle’s solution.)
i guess that parsing could also work since 'a' and "an" are basically (pun intended) performing the same task, but my intention was that "initially" also applied to "an". that said, @Jafe it's your turn :)
When solving a crossword it would never occur to me to interpret "remix" as a homophone indicator, and I would be cross if it turned out to have been used that way. Not because it can also be an anagram indicator (ambiguous indicators are fine) but because I don't see how "remix" means anything to do with homophones.
@RajorshiKoyal please stop pinging users to ask for mentoring. You've been told several times now that this chat is not your personal tutoring service.
@AncientSwordRage Yep, absolutely fine :) Sometimes the CCCC gets solved in a few minutes by one person, but fairly regularly one can be open for several days while we all put forward theories and part-formed ideas. Feel free!
It's been weeks on end that you've been asking people to tutor you, including pings and chat invites. SE chat just isn't the place for that. You cannot expect people here to tutor you for free, and it's gotten to the point where the volume of pings, invites, and requests for tutoring has gotten too high.
There's nothing wrong with occasional requests for help, but constantly asking for tutoring and sending random people notifications to ask them to help you? That's a bit too much.
There is a desert which can be crossed only by walking and this takes six days. The explorers of the desert can carry at most four days' water and food. If they want, they can take helpers with them. What is the minimum number of helpers that an explorer need to cross the desert?
["If the explor...
@Anonymus25-ReinstateMonica from my experience (which is not much) that's less of a stretch than a teacher... maybe I had better teachers growing up :D
If it was a more obscure character it probably would have been, but as the titular character of a super popular (and highly memeable) show, you were definitely safe XD
These are pentominoes, with letter codes:
Create 4 yes/no questions which uniquely classify each pentomino.
Examples of such questions are:
Does it have rotational symmetry?
Does it have reflection symmetry?
Is it the net of an open box?
Does it have point symmetry?
The idea is to create a se...
A weasel, woman with a mask, crown, little boy, a swirly symbol, and an eagle talking in a animal's lair, not something you see any day in the real world
But something you'll see almost definitely only in TSL

I want it to be CA(rtoon) punctured by A or AN or I or ONE, further getting hold also of SATURDAY* to yield a children's show. But that's not enough letters.
I was expecting something more along the lines msh210 describes. (I also wondered whether "cartoon duo" is the OO in CARTOON, but that seems like it doesn't provide enough letters.)
Hmmm... I just realized that there's a technical error in the clue, and I'm not exactly sure how to resolve it without giving away the answer/revealing a big hint (I thought I had double-checked it before posting, but I guess I didn't...)
I think it's still solvable (if you think you have the answer but there's one super minor issue with it, it's probably the answer), but I can make a new one instead
@GarethMcCaughan I was just looking at the badges page, and last week I rooted out dozens of spammers on my mod sites. Might I suggest that a certain type of search for keywords such as "w88", "fun88", and "xbet" could enable you to exercise your spam-chewing muscles. Word to the wise.
