PSQ: math.stackexchange.com/questions/3749580/…

Hi! How do I vote to close this question as belonging to puzzle SE?

@XanderHenderson Thank you so much for your kindness. Someone would like to close my question again.

@AlexanderGruber I have improved again. But someone would like to close my question again. THKS very much.

@AlexeyBurdin Currently posts on MSE cannot be closed as belonging to puzzle SE, so what you did, i.e. leaving a comment to clarify this, is rather appropriate in my opinion.

Inspired by 3740884, I think it's quite lucrative in terms of rep to copy contest problems from AoPS without adding any contexts/efforts.

Recently such behavior has been seen more often.

@Saad how did that get 9 upvotes...

@rschwieb Within a couple hours of being posted, it received three answers, which likely came with a couple of upvotes. The question then entered the HNQ, which no doubt brought more upvotes.

It also survived the close review queue, but my guess is that is because the queue is so very backed up. It looks like it wasn't reviewed by anyone other than @Saad

@Saad 3740884 has also appeared on Math.SE at least twice earlier. One incarnation was closed as duplicate of this. I'm flagging it for the attention of the diamond bearers. A merge might be on the cards. If there were rep&%¤&%¤ answering it, then I would rather vote to delete it.

FWIW I have been thinking about the connection to AOPS a lot lately. Mostly because Approach0 started indexing AOPS as well, so finding dupes there is now easier. But years ago I was working on a toughish contest-problem, and posted my answer. I gave an encouraging comment to another (frankly IMO slightly less complete solution than mine), and the author confided that they were copy/pasting from AOPS. Anyway, I am planning on posting about this in meta.

@JyrkiLahtonen When trying to find duplicates (or searching for something "formula heavy" for other reasons), I often try both Aproach0 and SearchOnMath. SearchOnMath indexes several sites (but not AoPS, as far as I can tell). searchonmath.com/about

In case they are useful for somebody, I will mention again that I use bookmarklets both for Approach0 and for SearchOnMath - to get the search for given formula faster: msleziak.com/various/bookmarklets.html

@XanderHenderson How did 3740884 enter the HNQ? Surely its title had a lot of TeX? Or were you thinking about another question?

@JyrkiLahtonen If you look at the revision history, the original title was: "A problem on Number theory on Divisibility"

Ah! Thanks @MartinSleziak.

@JyrkiLahtonen Check the timeline, Asaf edited the title.

@MartinSleziak Oh, yes. This has been said. :)

Note to self: finish reading the room before replying.

@XanderHenderson I had an impulse to post the crying native american gif, but that's probably aged into inappropriateness now hasn't it...

@rschwieb I mean, it had aged into inappropriateness and parody about five minutes before it first aired on television.

@XanderHenderson Probably aged into inappropriateness even before it was first created!

@XanderHenderson Lol, that is true... I guess what I really meant was that after it fell into parodying, the parodying further fell into inappropriateness itself... so now we need a new meme

@Sebastiano improve it then

if people still want to close it, it still needs improvement

Pinging me or any other person here isn't going to help with that. Even mods can't take away existing close votes. There are several resources on meta for how to improve your question, so please read those. Complaining about close votes is off-topic for this room.
