unless, you say it's a function that does what a nut does

@juicifer but a coconut is a function

I'm sure you can make a great puzzle out of this if you think hard enough; unfortunately, I happen to be too busy nowadays to do so :(
Avi
Jan 30, 2023 05:03
not sure if that's how it works tbh

co-co-nuts: juice -> co-nfusion
co-nuts: nfusion -> juice
Avi

watch out folks, drinking juice from co-co-nuts might induce co-nfusion

@GarethMcCaughan like some kind of contrapositive bee, though I suppose a con-bee might be a bit more theft-oriented

VECTOR (ddef)?
though not quite sure how vectors could be considered entertaining
Avi

but then again that might be intentional misdirection
Avi
Nov 7, 2022 16:35
and then we do something like beset* + _n

honestly feeling like the definition is "an amiable, if frightening, fellow"

reason: several answers seem significantly more viable/lateral-thinking-approvable than the OP's selected answer, and there's no way to distinguish what the 'proper' answer should be

Q: Yet another matchstick puzzle: 14 = 5

Florian FIs the expression below correct? No. But I never take no for an answer. Your task is make the expression true by moving exactly two matchsticks. As usual, inequalities are not allowed. So is removing, burning, breaking, eating, etc. matches. Hint:

Avi
Feb 12, 2022 03:52
but I'm afraid there might be too many valid solutions as I've seen at least 3 that don't involve burning any matchsticks and seem reasonably solid.
