John Dvorak
rank
quartata
5 yes
ManyPinkHats
12:13 AM
Yeah, kicking myself
quartata
That one always seems to stump defenders...
I think it's the phrasing
micsthepick
I don't get it...
ManyPinkHats
Maybe
quartata
@micsthepick scalars are rank 0
ManyPinkHats
it would definitely be easier if it was "scalars are 0-____ tensors"
John Dvorak
12:14 AM
rank = how many layers of arrays a data structure has
ManyPinkHats
Defending:
R E
micsthepick
so 2D vectors are rank 1?
quartata

quartata
@micsthepick any vector is rank 1

John Dvorak

ManyPinkHats
12:18 AM
78: it is not RETRY??
John Dvorak
no
79
Dots and dashes again
micsthepick
the order of operations on that is quite nonstandard
ManyPinkHats
79: it is not REMORSE
John Dvorak
79 ✔️
ManyPinkHats
the order of operations on the remainder calculation, do you mean?
quartata
12:20 AM
Ha
micsthepick
yes
John Dvorak
Why's it wrong?
ManyPinkHats
the order's standard BEDMAS/PEMDAS/etc.; it's just that "a/b" signifies integer division, not mathematical division
micsthepick
oh, okay
ManyPinkHats
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
micsthepick
12:22 AM
it would work even if you changed to normal division by adding a few parentheses
which is why I was confused
John Dvorak
Would it?
micsthepick
no, probably not
quartata
101:
the kind of math we're arguing about right now
ManyPinkHats
101: it is not REAL ANALYSIS???
I don't think so though
quartata
101 no lol
ManyPinkHats
12:23 AM
just the first branch of math that came to mind
101: it is not REPRESENTATION THEORY???
micsthepick

John Dvorak
12:25 AM
It's saying "sd poof"
quartata
johndvorak poof
ManyPinkHats
pass 30
quartata

12:27 AM
76 dies, redshift
78 dies, revocation
70 dies, rectifier
quartata
101 was REMEDIAL
micsthepick
what's the rest of 78?
ManyPinkHats
I don't understand either of 78 or 70, I'm afraid
quartata
100 was RECONSTITUTE
John Dvorak
certificate revocation list
quartata
12:28 AM
@ManyPinkHats 70 is electrical engineer bullshit
John Dvorak
"rectifier" is a thingie that turns AC into DC
quartata
I hate electricity,
micsthepick
so AC->DC would have made sense
John Dvorak
You can build one yourself with four diodes and a cap
micsthepick
cap may not be needed
ManyPinkHats
12:30 AM
I think I've seen the structure before for four diodes used to convert AC to DC
John Dvorak
Depends on if you want to power an LED or a microprocessor
microprocessors hate when the voltage reaches 0
micsthepick
or a sound system (analog)
quartata

ManyPinkHats

John Dvorak
73
Grim Fandago, perhaps
ManyPinkHats
I recognize the reference; or at least, a reference that it might be, if there's more than one
quartata
12:39 AM
hm hm hm
John Dvorak

micsthepick

John Dvorak

ManyPinkHats

micsthepick
no one seems to have figured out 40
ManyPinkHats
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
micsthepick

funny how you capitalized the misspelling of citizenship, but not Hawaii
quartata
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
micsthepick
50:
you might need these to realize that there is a person standing in front of you...
quartata
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
micsthepick
oh, no-one in my family is a resident
quartata
oh thats a shame
Deusovi

208:

ManyPinkHats
208: it is not REALMOVIE/REALMEDIA/REALMOTION ???
micsthepick

quartata
302:

301 yes
ManyPinkHats
302: it is not REALIST?

Sp3000
1:29 AM
5.
The word REALM
quartata
306:
piece of real estate
Sp3000
(just to cover bases since it wasn't technically clued)
ManyPinkHats
5: it is not REALM
micsthepick
well, c5
quartata
Thinking the strategy at this point is to pick verbs starting with al- and stick re- on them
Sp3000
1:31 AM
5: Yup of course
micsthepick
99:
STOP POINTING THAT AT ME!
ManyPinkHats
306: it is not REAL / REALEST in case you mean piece as in hidden substring

309:
pragmatic politics
ManyPinkHats
yeah that's the one
pass 309
quartata
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...
ManyPinkHats
1:37 AM
Sorry :(
quartata
Nah it's ok it's a good word
ManyPinkHats
I confirmed that it (perhaps surprisingly) is Scrabble-legal
quartata
Really? Huh.
It probably is in most dictionary
ManyPinkHats
even more remarkably: it is, but 'REALPHABETIZE/REALPHABETISE' are not (according to their online checker)
quartata
Anyone else know it?
micsthepick
1:38 AM
I hope that it is not up to me to guess this word :c(
quartata
Here I'll help
309':
-politic, but with a death metal hard K
Sp3000
