Which I guess goes to show nothing more than that I'm not a good judge of my cryptic clues' difficulty.

the definition is definitely not obscure; the wordplay may be harder to catch
^ wait, was this hints 1 and 2 or am i missing something
That was hint 2. :-)
right, so #1 was that you thought it'd go quickly
closed means locked, up can be reversal and c is the first letter of codewarrior0 but i don't see "desol" meaning "in jail maybe"
@Jafe was it?

@Jafe personally I give up its too hard, even a really smart group of people (who like these kinds of iq questions) when I showed it to them also had no clue so I don’t think I will probably work it out.
0#0=2 I mean what sort of monstrosity is this?
2
I mean it seems like output is the result of a random number generator. The only pattern I see is that if b is even c is and so too if b is odd c is.

Q: Please help robozzle No 14911

user89303I stuck at robozzle id 14911 . Can anyone help me to solve this puzzle? http://www.robozzle.com/beta/index.html?puzzle=14911

09:58
@msh210 No.
10:54
no wonder people are always telling me i can't take a hint
2
i wonder if it's the word "catches", then... CAUGHT would fit as an answer and could maybe mean locked or locked up or locked up in jail maybe
ah yeah, C for "first for codewarrior" and AUGHT for the 0!
@Jafe there you go
11:10
@Jafe oh wow, I kept considering that word and even split it up into c + aught too but I couldn't figure out how the wordplay worked...
I didn't think "Locked ... maybe" would be the whole def
11:24
yeah
 
2 hours later…

Q: Where am I working?

RogerAInspired by @Will Octagon Gibson Beginner Puzzles, here is my attempt. My friend said, "My manager asked me to do an inventory at this Specialty Shop I am working at right now. I counted 160 bags, 90 Urns, 270 pots and 190 balls." What specialty shop was it?
