I must have been having a terrible time getting out my words during today's meeting. I found my notepad covered in nonsense! What was I trying to say?

I had a rather odd idea today. I realized on my own something about a certain fairy chess piece that could he done. I then got the idea to make into a puzzle of identification. The idea is that you must figure which fairy piece is going to be used (whether changing a piece or by promotion) or i...
Example array : (6,7,7,6).
Solution : The required two subsets are (6,6) and (7,7).Their respective gcds are 6 and 7. Final answer is 6+7=13(which is the maximum gcd sum possible) .
Thanks.
Note earlier GPR switching out “in ring, awkwardly” for “in kidnapping ring” because while ring often stands in for “O”, doing that in an anagram is indirect and not good form. We’ll see :)
That ... is not a good cryptic abbreviation, I don’t think. First, maybe you could get “dog” from R but certainly not the reverse. Second, if you can’t find it in sphinx.mythic-beasts.com/~mark/random/indicators it’s probably unwise to use a potential abbreviation (and many of those listed are very British and not necessarily good ideas to use outside of specifically British settings, so just because it is listed doesn’t automatically make it fair here)
@OmegaKrypton see crosswordunclued.com/2009/07/connectors.html near the bottom; “with” isn’t a very good connector word between wordplay and def. my last clue would have ended with “turned over drug with a sarcastic remark” but for that. For future reference. That site is another good resource.
I’ve learned more than I ever thought I would about cryptic clues from hanging out in here. Hehe
Meh. I have work to do and I’m studiously ignoring it. But I hear plaintive rustling of documents and folders from the other room. I hope it hasn’t become sentient in my long absence.
A sequence of positive integers A1,A2,…,AN. Split this sequence into two non-empty (not necessarily contiguous) subsequences B and C such that GCD(B)+GCD(C) is maximum possible.Find this maximum value.
We have to rotate a string in a specified direction by a specified magnitude. After each rotation make note of first character of the rotated string. After all rotations are performed the accumulated first character as noted previously will form another string, say FSTRING.
Check if FSTRING is a...

Construct a simple polygon on a grid of equal-distanced points such that:
all the polygon's vertices are grid points,
there are exactly $i~(\geq 0)$ lattice points in the interior, and
there are exactly $b~(\geq 3)$ lattice points on the boundary.
As a practice, construct it f...
You and your friend has found in total 2019 gold coins in a treasure hunt. Since your friend found to place to dig up, you offer a game to share the coins to him:
"We have 2019 coins, I will put as many coins as i want into the bags and you will see how many coins I would put inside for each bag...
Suppose i have two consecutive number 3 and 4.
so i can form all numbers as
3 , 6, 9, ...(all multiples of 3)
4 , 8, 12,...(all multiples of 4)
also we pick any numbers from these list and add them to form another number.
i am required to find number of numbers which can't be formed by any m...
The puzzle below contains a wealth of information. However, if you were to make a list, you will soon realize that there's something missing.
You're task is to fill in all the blanks. Have fun, and make the most of it!
Given:
P, R, I, N, C, E, T, O, M are all distinct digits varying from 1 to 9.
PCRON, PRINCETOM are two concatenated Numbers.
PCRON is the highest possible number you can have fulfilling the following relation:
$(PCRON)^2$ = $PRINCETOM$
Please give you’re deductive reasoning to figureout ...
@Rubio You double-posted this message :-) Also, "a little too polished for a first-timer" is a bit of an odd concept - no reason that someone who hasn't been on PSE before shouldn't be able to formulate a perfectly good puzzle.
Pedantry aside, though: message received, ten-four, roger, etc.
The puzzle writer has named it “Twins and Triplets” but I believe that this might be an alias for the actual name of the puzzle. The premise behind it seems too simple for it not to already exist. I have scoured the web looking for examples but could not find any. Has anyone seen any logic puzz...
