@MikePierce For the record: I hit the "Skip" button, because that question is all kinds of toxic to me, but I'm biased. Don't say I never did nothin' for ya.

Lol thanks bruh.

@MikePierce @AlexanderGruber @amWhy: Thank you three very much for creating the new question and moving the answers over and deleting the old one.
 
4:41 AM
@amWhy Actually, from my (thankfully long past) interaction with DS, I am not so sure he knew the answer at the time of posting. But what was clear to me was that he wasn't at all interested in mathematical inquiry, as opposed to wanting to spread his miracle notation. As evidence for my assessment, this post has him accepting his own nonsense answer and talking more nonsense in a comment on it. But yes he may have thought he is a modern Socrates...

@Did @amWhy @ZacharySelk @XanderHenderson: This ex-HNQ sounds like a homework question. Note the "While this is the single most likely outcome", which is not a phrase that a person who does not know the answer would use.
 
6:06 AM
Another PSQ with a nearly unreadable MSPaint figure...
 
6:27 AM
The nonsense of wanting to express Sudoku in set theory reminded me very very strongly of exponents of quantum woo such as Deepak Chopra who has gotten a lot of money out of people and they still believe him. Nuts!

@user21820 I don't think that sounds like a homework question. He just seems to be interested in probability but not have solid foundations. The other questions by the user seem to reinforce that to me.
 
E, F, G, H.
@AloizioMacedo Perhaps. I did not look at the other questions. Now that I have, you are more likely to be right.
@user21820 Only 8 left.
@SmokeDetector Self-deleted.

@Did, @user21820, @ZacharySelk, @XanderHenderson, @SimplyBeautifulArt One more delete vote needed here. (Sorry to trouble you if you cast the other current deleted vote already.)
 
4:00 PM
@user21820 Left with this and this.
 
Isn't this essentially the same question last linked by @amWhy?
With the only difference being sudoku/latin squares, but the problematic aspects being the same?
 
@AloizioMacedo Yes it is, @Aloizio. The asker keeps trying to reask the same question with minor variations. At least two of those attempts have been deleted.
 
4:17 PM
@AloizioMacedo Yes, see my comment above yours linking to some evidence that it's a nut trying to advertise his game app and also apparently trying to couch a puzzle in set theory to a middle-school audience for who knows what ridiculous reason.

And that same user's comments on the OP are confusing the issue.
 
Did
6:02 PM
@XanderHenderson Indeed, if only they could stop doing that as soon as the relevance of their answer is questioned (that, and commenting+downvoting answers by others in the same situation). It seems the only way to make them retract an answer, however hastily written and uninformed about the topic of the question it is, is to downvote/vote to delete said answer. Difficult to understand the attitude...
 
6:17 PM
I am beginning to wonder if that user has a sockpuppet or two---nearly everything they write gets upvoted once or twice, including their inane comments.
 
Did
@XanderHenderson Sadly, I was not surprised to see that "the other answer" is dowvoted once.
 
Did
7:51 PM
@XanderHenderson Yep. But so many rhetorical efforts displayed, as if some ground was to be defended foot by foot... This bad faith is exhausting.
 
8:11 PM
@XanderHenderson I am really beginning to believe that gimusi has 2-3 "followers" (maybe one or more of which are sockpuppet accounts), because they regularly receive immediate upvotes to their answer, often before anyone could have reasonably read and considered their answers, and regularly receives compensatory upvotes despite many downvotes.
@XanderHenderson Yes, as you can see in my comment above (before I saw your comment suggesting the same), I'm inclined to agree.
Well, hello there, again, @PintOfMilk
 
What @amWhy is this chat for?
Found it nvm
For feedback/discussion/requests of Close/Reopen/Undelete/Delete/Edit for questions and answers on Math SE (for Math Meta stuff go to chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/64952/math-meta-chat instead)
 
@PintOfMilk Yup.
 
I don't really have a use for this chat. Bye! @amWhy

For anyone interested, a post on meta, which is answering the earlier question about whether we should create two levels for MSE, belongs as an edit to the author's answer there. Specifically, this "question/opinion" belongs here.
I have voted to close the superfluous question (first link), because it belongs as an edit to the same author's answer (second link).
 
10:01 PM
@amWhy While I disagree with the proposal, I believe that the new post should not be closed (at least, with the reasoning that it is an extension of the user's answer in the other post). My rationale is that the user's answer to that other question is essentially "I disagree", and the "new" proposal that is made is not really on-topic to that question, since the question is not asking for alternatives.
 
@AloizioMacedo Thanks for your perspective. I think that the second question belongs as an answer to the original precisely because it is a proposal for a way to divide MSE into two sites, which was the topic of the original question.

Darn it: This PSQ is a duplicate of this post. I had already voted to close for another reason.
 
11:48 PM
@amWhy Now closed, as it should be.
