I feel that this is a trivia question, not a mathematics question, and (more subjective) a rather uninteresting piece of trivia. I do not think it belongs on the site, but I am interested in other opinions before casting a vote.
 
4:42 AM
@MikeMiller I cast an off-topic vote.

This HNQ should be closed
 
10:56 AM
@MikeMiller @AlexFrancisco OP is giving this example.
In this comment.
If people want to close this, note I'm really looking for a thread like this which maybe can be opened: "examples of challenging differential equations where the final answer is an elementary function", something along the lines of this post that has 73 upvotes and brought good discussion: "An example of a problem which is difficult but is made easier when a diagram is drawn": math.stackexchange.com/questions/1100090/…Presh 2 hours ago

I don't see a problem with a "miraculous cancellation in PDE" question, though it runs the risk of being far too broad. But then most of the question as stated is a non sequitur.
 
@paulplusx Actually I found both questions mentioned insipid since neither is about how to solve a specific problem but about collecting and exhibiting some special (?) problems. However, this is a Q&A site instead of a repository for such questions.
 
I agree, but I also understand the argument of precedent.
Maybe I should write the thing 2 messages above as a comment.

@TheSimpliFire I made the title a bit more descriptive. As an unfortunate side effect, that will likely remove the question from the HNQ.
@amWhy Sorry for not replying---it has been busy. Indeed, it still is, and I should likely be getting ready to go into the office right now, even.
(classes at UCR start this week)

For deletion: diecinueve
 
2:19 PM
@AlexFrancisco Done.
 
@TheSimpliFire Up for deletion. Answerer made a crude attempt to preserve the question, for obvious reasons.
 
That edit was completely inappropriate. :\
I've rolled it back.
 
@paulplusx Gone.
 
2:59 PM
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Needs closure and probably deletion.
 
3:31 PM
@AlexFrancisco quince is up for deletion.
 
@user21820 I'm curious if higher-rep users can delete a question right after it's closed.
 
@AlexFrancisco Yes, under certain circumstances.
 
@XanderHenderson Thanks!
 
At 20k XP, you can vote to delete questions with a net score of -3 or lower as soon as they are closed.
 
-3 seems to be a rather high threshod, though.
 
3:38 PM
The goal of the privilege is to allow trusted users to deal with obvious crap quickly.
As such, -3 seems reasonable.
 
@XanderHenderson That can't be right; if we were really trusted users we should be able to delete without even closing. Of course, we aren't completely trusted, and hence the restriction/delay.
And of course, I'm not really serious.
 
Being trusted does not mean that you should be given the keys to the kingdom.
 
Well, farmers always find treasures from craps…
 
3:45 PM
@XanderHenderson In any case, I don't have a problem with this restriction. What I do have a problem with is the restriction that experts cannot delete an answer until it has negative score. That is really ridiculous.
 
4:38 PM
@Did @amWhy @XanderHenderson @Holo: not an answer.
 
@user21820 I remember this post from few weeks back, I thought this answer was already gone
 
@Holo According to its history it never got deleted. Don't know why.
 
5:16 PM
@AlexanderGruber: nonsense.
And this is kind of useless.
 
5:30 PM
duplicate of PSQ posted within 1 day of each other.
d1, d2, d3.
d4, d5, d6.
d7, d8, d9.
 
@user21820 I am out of delete votes, but the dupe is now deleted, and so the PSQ is now eligible for deletion.
 
@XanderHenderson Thanks! I am out too. Cleaning is hard work!
 
5:53 PM
When the question is unclear, answering it is ill-advised...
 
6:11 PM
 
@amWhy Close
 
@Holo Gracias
 
@Holo Do you have a reference for the assertion that $\sup(\emptyset)$ may be undefined? I've never seen that convention...
 
@XanderHenderson This is how my profesor defined $\sup$ in calc I, but I didn't found any other place it defined like this
 
Okay, this question really needs to get closed. It is unclear, but that isn't stopping it from attracting answers...

I think we should close this meta post
This question does not appear to be about Mathematics Stack Exchange or the software that powers the Stack Exchange network within the scope defined in the help center, perhaps?
 
oops :P
 
@TheSimpliFire I completely agree with you, also this is inappropriate question in my opinion
 
@Holo Yes, especially when asker mentioned 'medical issues'.
In a similar vein, as pointed out by Ovi, this meta post would also be off-topic on meta. No double standards!
@Holo let me now hunt for more :P
 
7:42 PM
d:
 
8:01 PM
Just wanted to keep "playful" conversation in a room designed for multi-uses: math, jokes, socializing, boredom...
@TheSimpliFire closed, one more delete vote needed. On the linked question, still needs to more close votes.
 
 
3 hours later…
@amWhy Close
 
@XanderHenderson grrrrrrrr....
