Q: Mysterious Deaths, or is it just a well known attack?

102152111Last week you were promoted to the position of Sergeant Head Detective of Australia, which basically means the best detective in Australia. Its January 2019, and you wake up ready for your new job. But on your first day, you get a phone call from your best friend Sergeant Jack: Sergeant Corrus O...

@Deusovi You can go to the grove and see me mentally detriorate because infinities make no sense

drove past a place called Miami the other day
there's an ice cream bar there named Miami Ice, and right next door to it is a chinese restaurant named Miami Rice
i've always known that creative geniuses live among us
i so want to rent the next lot over and start a pet shop called Miami Mice
 
Miami Nice!
 
hehe
 
You could always go for the original pun and set up a hardware store.
 
ah that's even better
 
6:57 AM
that's Miami Wise
 
7:10 AM
@oAlt That's what I meant, but IMO @AncientSwordRage was close enough

@Jafe Miami Suffice... (too many Miami shops) :)
@bobble whenever you see this I went back to older posts and I want to edit this post which has a connect-wall thats a picture with no alt attribute... I think you know what i'm talking about :) puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions/38964/…

Q: Word Connect : Find the relations if you can!

Anju PrasadThe 16 words can be classified into 4 groups with 4 related words in each. What are those relations and groups?

@bobble i have edited the post now. How's that :)
 
8:49 AM
@msh210 I see. I don't mind giving the turn to @AncientSwordRage , since I've got only one clue in my stockpile. Lol
 
9:02 AM
Technical question: When you edit long(-ish) posts, how do you make it that if you reveal a spoiner in the preview you don't jump back up into the editing box? I thought clicking on the "reveal spoiler" area in the top right corner (and not just anywhere in the grey box) would do that, but it doesn't seem to work. Hm.
 
i know what you mean. Its a pain in a neck... and wastes time
 
So you just live with it and try to get your formatting right the first time?
 
If anyone could go review my edit above would be nice :)
@MOehm And you rarely get it right the first time...
 
I know I don't. An option (checkbox) to reveal all spoliers in the preview would be useful.
 
@MOehm We could post that on meta :)
 
9:13 AM
I've approved your edit now. I know the alt text is mostly for the benefit of screen readers, but wouldn't it be the Correct Thing™ to use the letter case from the image.
(I know it's not your concern, but that image with its uneven cells is strange. And the kerning between the L and I in FLICKER is unfortunate.)
 
@102152111 Just to say: Where an image solely contains text and the formatting isn't relevant to the puzzle, using a table is probably best all round for accessibility :) (I've overhauled it now...)
 
Hey, presto! My wish (for a nicer picture) seems to have been granted.
 
9:54 AM
@102152111 Ahhh, the art of editing, such a masterpiece in the right hands, but such a disgrace in the wrong ones
 
10:42 AM
@oAlt same here, and I'm currently stupendously late for work, so I don't have time to double check it
 
10:53 AM
After the post from Bobble that my name was too long... decided its time to change my name :)
now that should work... now
@AncientSwordRage just type something and i will type something back to see if the changed name works :)
nvm, should work now
 
Your name changed on the main site, but it takes some time to propagate into chat.
Some time or some mod magic ... refreshes chat profile
 
I see... haha
 
There we go.
 
anyways its 9pm here so yeah...
I see that works now :)
Goodnight see me at 12am UTC time (11am here)
 
Goodnight!
 
10:58 AM
Goodbye!
 
@Jafe You could make a whole row of shops:

For the price of my advice to entice lice to the nice rice device and dice mice twice in a trice, thrice a slice of ice with spice in a vice will suffice.

11:59 AM
one in the middle could be named Miami Miami and then when the surrounding shop owners are like "dude, we were kinda having a pattern here" the guy could be like "whaddya mean? it's Miami twice"

Q: Stuck in a loop following Rubik's Cube instructions

spraffI'm following these instructions to solve a Rubik's Cube. I followed them before and they worked, but now I am stuck. Up to "Bottom layer STEP 3: POSITION THE YELLOW CORNERS" I am ok except none of the given images matches my cube. I have No rotation of the top layer gives "adjacent corners" as ...

@AncientSwordRage ahh, alright. I was gonna ask what you meant by your previous message but decided to wait it out instead, and glad I got a clarification (thx btw)
Here we go then

Q: Spiders on a cube

EricTwo spiders are trying to catch an ant. All are constrained to move along the edges of a cube. The speed of the ant is $1$. The speeds of the spiders are $v_1$ and $v_2$ respectively. What's the minimum value of $v_1+v_2$ if the spiders can catch the ant for any starting positions? What's the min...

 
DOPAMINE "do kill" Brown actress: PAM, stimulant: INE #TerribleC4Solutions
 
3:09 PM
@Anonymus25 That's not actually as bad as you think. If 'Brown actress' were PAM (e.g. this one) then DO PAM IN means to kill her, and E is a stimulant, all giving DOPAMINE, a chemical
 
3:55 PM
Ohh
Actually a bit close lol
 
@Stiv that is correct
although i was thinking of pam grier in jackie brown
 
4:19 PM
@Jafe Gargh, I even thought of Jackie Brown and never checked the cast list!

Q: A thin layer of rock?

Taco タコス Given a bird, a cat and a shrew, along with a bat and kangaroo too. Some sleep at night, others in light, surprisingly you are one too. How do you relate to the title?

 
anyways, its kinda weird how my morning is your late :)
 
11:06 PM
edits a connnect wall into a table
@Tacoタコス i'm still stuck. How does the ynzvan relate to abpgheany naq qvheany?
 
I think you’re looking for the wrong relationships. Relate each line of the limerick to find a word that relates to ynzvan.
 
I got it! I think navzny
 
I leave you to it then 💁🏻‍♀️
 
ok.
done :)
 
11:26 PM
🤌🏻 I’m gonna let that simmer for a bit. Great work! 🙃
 
😊
now i'm 500 rep, straight to review queues :)
 
Hint hint, my next puzzle will be related to your answer.
 
ok. Will be very diligent about all of us. (animals)
I have to say, I was eating breakfast when I was solving this and when I went to get a spoonful of an egg, I realised animal :)
 
@Tacoタコス you forget about crepuscular animals
 
@AncientSwordRage lol
 
11:30 PM
😂
I’m a crepuscular animal lol
 
What's the word for an animal that never sleeps? 🤔
 
insects.
 
Not sure but I know that bullfrogs and jellyfish are two that don’t lol
 
It feels kind good to be 500 rep and have 2 good answers :) (except there's no reviews for first answers, first answers, and late answers for now)
 
Lol be vigilant, your time will come
Off for the night lol got a grid to make and some Fortnite to play 👩🏻‍💻
 
11:35 PM
well, its morning here...
 
I gathered that when you said breakfast lol
1835 here
 
oh...
 
See everyone tomorrow 🙃
 
bye!
(just realised that 500rep doesn't do much(waiting around for a new user to post something))
i know! i am going to post my own riddle :)
 
I usually don't get to do FQ/A or LA reviews since I come upon and deal with them outside of the queue
