hmm, looks like SE has updated their mobile style to place scrollbars on formatted blocks (which frankly was a long overdue change!)
before it would just wrap to the next line, which means that I couldn't make heads or tails of some of your puzzles like "presti-digit-ation" and "the mess of adrian puzzlinger"
but now it looks fine
one thing that still doesn't work on mobile are "hover spoilers", that or I haven't found a way to make it work yet
Who watches the watchmen? Surely the CMs can't stick around across all 100+ sites all day without going mad? It'd be like watching paint peel off a wall for a low-views site you weren't interested in.
If I hit the thesaurus a bit I think I have an idea what Rubio's C4 is, but something's still slightly off (and I don't have a new clue to post either)
@Sp3000 There's an example in the archive that seems to hint at it being usable that way, and it's listed on, like, every relevant list. but I wasn't able to find any actual examples of how it's used, so - wasn't sure.
Yeah but the thing is some indicators are only valid when used the right way (e.g. "Demonstrates weight cube (5)" for EIGHT would just be wrong), and I feel like this might be one of them. Not sure though, would have to ask Deus & co.
@manshu You're always welcome to try and get some traction going for games - it's a matter of pinging and garnering interest in a game to get it going.
@Sid I have found that I don't have a whole lot of time available to devote to moderation (which I said going into it the first time). I offered to resign alongside Emrakul, to make room for a more active mod, but we decided that I would stay on, but that we would still add another mod.
I can speculate quite a few, but who is actually going to go will be interesting to see come next week.
Makes perfect sense - hopefully we get two new active ones to allow you to still be around to provide some veteran insight but take a more relaxed role
There are two men, Bob and Dylan.
Bob says “One of the two of us is a liar”.
Dylan says “Actually, we’re both liars”.
Honest men always tell the truth and liars always lie. What are these men? Both honest? Both liars? Or one of each, and, in that case, who is who? Explain your reasoning.

1 in 8 sets of twins are sets of identical twins. While talking to Jessica, you learn that she has a twin named Emily. What's the probability that Emily and Jessica are identical twins?
The answer isn't 1/8th.
SP has an idea as to what it is but never came up with a new clue so they didn't answer yet - if no answer is given otherwise I think they will attempt it when they're awake again (pretty sure it's middle of the night there)
I creep in, but hit you hard,
I can be painful or soft like lard.
I take away your sight so you can't see,
Break down your brain and make you pee.

It definitely lacks something to make it unique or justify it's specific answer.. unless we are missing something.. I think the same goes for their other riddle..
In J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, while Bilbo is in the cave and has the ring, he and Gollum end up asking each other riddles. After the exchange, Gollum or Bilbo mentions some riddle rules. These rules, as far as I can remember, are not previously brought up in the book.

@Rubio FORMULAIC? It seems like secular is LAIC, and FORMU is an anagram of "forum", where "hackneyed" is the definition, but I'm not sure what the anagram indicator is...
I think "becomes" is OK as an anagrind (just about) when the answer to the anagram is the whole thing and what follows is the definition. The one becomes the other. In Rubio's clue, though, it doesn't work like that. It's syntactically wrong :-).
I pinch and bite
For dark and light,
I rust and gleam,
Divide and team,
I'm you enemy, and your friend,
I'm your beginning, and your end.
