@rschwieb I'm not sure of the algorithm, but I think score of −3 on the question can speed up deletion availability for closed questions, such as happened with that one. Unrelated, I personally let closed questions stay around for the system-inbuilt 2/3 days before voting to delete, unless it is a PSQ that already has answers.
@XanderHenderson Maybe we can ask @AlexanderGruber to help deal with such cases?
I really hope so. It's looking like most American schools are down for the count through Fall semester, so there will probably be another big wave in a couple months here.
It may or may not be helpful for screening questions (I hope it will be) but a peripheral benefit would be the ability to actually measure PSQ volume non-subjectively
@user21820 I don't think that C7 is a very great question (the answer is, essentially, learn basic algebraic manipulation), but I am hesitant to vote-to-close for lack of context or clarity. It is kind of a dumb question, but I don't see anything obviously off-topic about it. It has also survived several rounds in the close queue, where at least 10 unique users voted to "leave open". On the other hand, with one more downvote, it will get Roomba'd soon.
Sorry... not C7. C8.
Grumble... I've changed my mind.
I’m voting to close this question because the answer is, essentially, "bone up on your basic algebraic manipulation". There seems to be a complete answer in the comments, and the asker appears to be satisfied. I don't see this question having any lasting value for Math SE, hence I think that closure and deletion is an appropriate course of action. — Xander Henderson23 secs ago
