i'd think of it as worplay as well, which means only one part has to follow the normal definition rules
as in the current c4, you couldn't have the enum as 3,4 because a See king is not an actual thing that exists with that name... but as wordplay See+king is completely valid
nice construction, that, btw
but even if both sides would be valid definitions i'd just pick one enumeration that makes more sense
Well found; that went quicker than I'd anticipated. I mean, it's just a simple anagram, but still the combination of letters (-ing not appearing, one g become soft with a d before, the f combining with the r,…), the slang "fridge", and the fact that a fridge magnet is not the first thing one usually thinks of when considering things in a kitchen — all made me think it was a pretty hard anagram to find. So, well done.
@Stiv As it happens, I currently have one. But even if I had more, one of them is still something in my kitchen.
I am looking for an old movie, i don't know much about it.
All i know is that there was a house and there was a monster who stood in front of the window for so long that his image burned into the window.
That's all of my information. I don't saw this movie, one of my friends told me about it few ...
Ah, then I had an advantage as a Brit, where it's very rare to hear it called anything other than a 'fridge' - plus it's the biggest thing in the kitchen so readily came to mind!
In a table tennis tournament, there are 7 different tables and 10 players. Every player has to play exactly 7 matches (one match at each table). It's not allowed to play twice against the same opponent. Is it possible? If yes, give a solution.

There are about 9.266 x 10^25 partitions of 2024, a handful! To each of these petitions corresponds a graph in which the vertices are each of the parts, two of which are joined by an edge if they are not relatively prime (i.e. they have a common factor greater than 1).
i) Find a graph such that t...

@juicifer Yeah same. I thought "layabout" would be a containment indicator and not actually "a lazy person". I also though the last word would be "Christmas" as it had Christ, a sovereign, in there, but it got me nowhere because the "mas" part wasn't promising
I purposely tried to make it look like "song" was the definition. I also made sure that "layabout sovereign" had the same number of letters as the answer.
(King Wenceslas was not a layabout, though. It was intended to be a little deceitful and mean "lay about sovereign" (song about king).)
Not sure if that's legit, but I guess it kind of worked either way anyway.
A chess position's n-score is defined as:
NaN if it's impossible for the position to be played for another n half-moves (assume that the game ends in a draw as soon as the same position is repeated 3 times);
Otherwise, the number of possible positions it can have evolved into at the end of n hal...
