C75
 
I have a feeling that I'm going to kick myself when 5 is revealed
pass 5
 
rank
 
5 yes
 
12:13 AM
Yeah, kicking myself
 
That one always seems to stump defenders...
I think it's the phrasing
 
I don't get it...
 
Maybe
 
@micsthepick scalars are rank 0
 
it would definitely be easier if it was "scalars are 0-____ tensors"
 
12:14 AM
rank = how many layers of arrays a data structure has
 
Defending: R E
 
so 2D vectors are rank 1?
 
@ManyPinkHats might as well rot13 the answer
 
70 dies, ribbon
 
@micsthepick any vector is rank 1
 
12:15 AM
74 dies, ruminate
 
matrices are rank 2
 
75 dies, rimshot
 
Yeah, and matrices are rank 2

78 R in CRL
 
77: it is not REMAINDER
 
77 ✔️
 
78: it is not REPEAT??
 
78 x
 
12:18 AM
78: it is not RETRY??
 
no
79 Dots and dashes again
 
the order of operations on that is quite nonstandard
 
79: it is not REMORSE
 
79 ✔️
 
the order of operations on the remainder calculation, do you mean?
 
12:20 AM
Ha
 
yes
 
Why's it wrong?
 
the order's standard BEDMAS/PEMDAS/etc.; it's just that "a/b" signifies integer division, not mathematical division
 
oh, okay
 
took me a moment to get it as well, but I think it's been used against me at least once before in Contact, with a possibly identical clue
 
12:22 AM
it would work even if you changed to normal division by adding a few parentheses
which is why I was confused
 
Would it?
 
no, probably not
 
101: the kind of math we're arguing about right now
 
101: it is not REAL ANALYSIS???
I don't think so though
 
101 no lol
 
12:23 AM
just the first branch of math that came to mind

C70
 
12:25 AM
It's saying "sd poof"
 
johndvorak poof

sd is shorthand for smokedetector, the spam detection bot
 
is this a linux command?
ah nvm
Defending: R E A
 
12:27 AM
76 dies, redshift
78 dies, revocation
70 dies, rectifier
 
101 was REMEDIAL
 
what's the rest of 78?
 
I don't understand either of 78 or 70, I'm afraid
 
100 was RECONSTITUTE
 
certificate revocation list
 
12:28 AM
@ManyPinkHats 70 is electrical engineer bullshit
 
"rectifier" is a thingie that turns AC into DC
 
I hate electricity,
 
so AC->DC would have made sense
 
You can build one yourself with four diodes and a cap
 
cap may not be needed
 
12:30 AM
I think I've seen the structure before for four diodes used to convert AC to DC
 
Depends on if you want to power an LED or a microprocessor
microprocessors hate when the voltage reaches 0
 
or a sound system (analog)
 
200: thinking about shit that i Recognize and smiling: the movie
 
71 Monopoly man, perhaps
 
40: not actually effected by FOV

I recognize the reference; or at least, a reference that it might be, if there's more than one
 
12:39 AM
hm hm hm

Clearly no one knows 201
200 seems not to have clicked
 
44: think fast
 
C44
 
44: it is not REACT
 
12:41 AM
44 ✔️
 
retracting 73 then. Bye.
 
bye; have a good day/night/whatever it is wherever you are
 
no one seems to have figured out 40
 
I think someone had to explain a greeting to me in TSL one point that was an acronym like that; does anyone know what I'm talking about?
I mean the good day/night/whatever
 
gamen?
 
12:43 AM
Yeah, that sounds right

202: it is not REARING
 
202 yes
 
don't know, I'm just here for a family holiday.
funny how you capitalized the misspelling of citizenship, but not Hawaii
 
12:47 AM
203: turn back the clock, politically
@micsthepick we just talked about this in TNB,,
capitalization is complicated because it,s about sound and sound hurts
 
50: you might need these to realize that there is a person standing in front of you...
 
anyways i would, deeply, apperciate it if you asked your family this because the Trolls keep sending me there on one way flights and it would help with customs
 
oh, no-one in my family is a resident
 
oh thats a shame
 
8: Scan upright change again
 
12:51 AM
maybe if i give the authoritarities enough Money i can get naturalized
204: reset cooldowns
 
I can't star any more; my vote allowance is done for the day
8: it is not REALTER???
 
8 is not REALTER.
 
That doesn't even seem like a word now that I look at it
 
205: stack of paper
 
205: it is not REAM
 
12:53 AM
contact 205
 
8: it is not READJUST

I don't know why I'm having a rough time with clues
208: .rm
 
208: it is not REALMOVIE/REALMEDIA/REALMOTION ???

78. Station after receiving $200
 
how obvious do I have to make my hints in order for someone to get them?
 
78: it is not READING RAILROAD
 
78: Yup
 
@micsthepick I dunno I assume this is about vertical vs horizontal but what starts with rea
 
1:10 AM
100. Stretching and hurting again
 
100: it is not REACHING, nice
 
Yup
 
would giving another letter help? might get rid of some old clues and inspire some new ones?
 
I think it would
 
Defending: R E A L
 
1:13 AM

302: not a cynic...
301 yes
 
302: it is not REALIST?

305: understand
Such slim pickings up here...
 
1:26 AM
c305
 
305: it is not REALIZE
 
305 yes but is it REALISE?
 
my spell checker does not flag realize, but flags realise
(UK vs USA spelling?)
 
I was asking as a question my bad
T'was a joke anyways
 
Unfortunately, I'm now realizing how hard my word is going to be to guess
 
1:29 AM
5. The word REALM
 
306: piece of real estate
 
(just to cover bases since it wasn't technically clued)
 
5: it is not REALM
 
well, c5
 
Thinking the strategy at this point is to pick verbs starting with al- and stick re- on them
 
1:31 AM
5: Yup of course
 
99: STOP POINTING THAT AT ME!
 
306: it is not REAL / REALEST in case you mean piece as in hidden substring

308 yes
Hmmm
Oh, I thought of this but didn't clue it
309: pragmatic politics
 
yeah that's the one
pass 309
 
Edited to help others
I thought of this back at R E but didn't think it could be it
Could have saved us a lot of time...
 
1:37 AM
Sorry :(
 
Nah it's ok it's a good word
 
I confirmed that it (perhaps surprisingly) is Scrabble-legal
 
Really? Huh.
It probably is in most dictionary
 
even more remarkably: it is, but 'REALPHABETIZE/REALPHABETISE' are not (according to their online checker)
 
Anyone else know it?
 
1:38 AM
I hope that it is not up to me to guess this word :c(
 
Here I'll help
309': -politic, but with a death metal hard K
 
... realpolitik?
 
realpolitick?
 
Hopefully that "helps',
First one was right :P
