I think this is better suited for Physics SE

@an4s I agree. I have migrated it.

close this PSQ

@ParamanandSingh Yikes.

@XanderHenderson: I tried to motivate the user via comments (also gave link to mathjax turotials for new user). Let's hope they edit their question.

@Peter That nonsense 'answer' needs only 1 more delete-vote.

D1, D2, D3.

D4, D5, D6.

D10, D11, D12.

C1, C2, C3.

C4, C5, C6.

C7, C8, C9.

Vague question Is there a generalized rule for integrating euler's number with a power which is a multiple of x?

PSQ - What is the probability that any two of your friends get the same cards?

PSQ - Maeromorphic functions

@Peter Only one more delete vote needed for each.

@Peter Oh, jeez. That's bad enough that I'm willing to step in.

I mean, the first comment completely addresses what is wrong with the answer, yet the answer stands by an obviously wrong answer.

Ugh.

@XanderHenderson It's weird how it remained for seven years on this site!!!

To @Peter's credit, he's done an excellent job of bringing both highly downvoted answers and questions to our attention here. Thanks for casting the third vote, @Xander.

@Xander When an answer, alone, is specifically deleted (and not due to the questions deletion), Does the answerer lose all net points gained?

@Xander Probably insignificant. He netted 26 from one upvote and an accept, but lost 12 x 2 = 24 points from downvotes. At most he gained +2 rep.

@amWhy My understanding is that XP is lost only if it is not too old, eg less than 60 days, I think.

this needs to go

@XanderHenderson I know that's true when one answered a question later deleted. I don't know what happens when an answer, not the question, is the sole target of deletion.

@amWhy i think i do understand -what- the original picture was asking here. but it's definitely a bad example of a PSQ

(i mean, most examples are bad. but image PSQs are particularly egregious)

Why, on a weekend, relaxing from teaching, until tomorrow, when I need to finish grading and prepare/tune up my lecture notes for the week tomorrow, why today do I subject myself to non-diamond moderating and reviewing, and such! ;D Just a rhetorical question.

This questions is very vague

@an4s you could look at it as a Fermi problem, i guess, but i don't like Fermi problems that much

@Semiclassical Perhaps. But I think it is missing context

@an4s Indeed it is. It's a classic PSQ.

oh, certainly.
