@BuckThorn it doesn't have a lot of views for a 2 year old question. i would propose to delete.
@BuckThorn delete as answer is hint answer?
04:32
@SafdarFaisal the author has put together some reasonable answers over time - this one was a good effort to save a really bad question. I am wondering if editing of the question might not save the answer, if that seems worthwhile...
^problem is impossible to solve due to error in reaction equation.... unsalvageable? delete?
^"answer key is wrong..." delete?
vsig fig problem.... delete?
04:52
^Moles are not molecules... delete?
05:03
^Official question is about usage of english (a clarification) not substantively about chemistry, for which ultimately there is an answer. Delete?
05:52
Oscar Lanzi's comment makes sense. Wrong answer?

Somehow I feel like SE chat is not the best platform. Something like Slack would work better...
@BuckThorn As a heads up, if you want to suggest deleting something, you don't need to clean it up first. Your edit makes me less likely to want to delete ;-)
Deleted questions with the homework tag are fine, nobody can see them anyway, and once we're done with all the undeleted ones we can just get a CM to remove the tag from every question (deleted + undeleted).

Ok, good point. The reason I remove the tag is because it removes the post from the list generated by the tag search script which I conveniently use to identify additional posts. Don't worry about deleting my post after I edit it, sometimes I dive into the effort as therapy ;)
I know the posts clog up the feed - I tried to pick an early hour and then back off. It's only 50 left now and at 10 a day (less because I am not touching most orgo or inorganic stuff) it should be done quickly.

@BuckThorn @SafdarFaisal I personally prefer titles to be actual questions. This one has some more serious language problems though.
I guess it's not bad enough to delete it. Although no-one will miss it... I guess 10% of the views came from this review =.o
@BuckThorn just a tip: If you want to delete, just leave it as it is. No need to push it to the front page. Post it here, it's easy to keep track of the open ones. If the next person viewing it decides it's good to keep, let that be their job to also remove the homework tag.

@BuckThorn @SafdarFaisal Please check all of the post for potentially bad MathJax, missing units, buzzwords and stuff... Thank you! :D
@BuckThorn It'S quite borderline, but I'd be okay with deleting this. There really is not much to be gained from this...
