There's an Austrian site with a massive variety of puzzles like these, all playable online for free: https://www.janko.at/Raetsel/Uebersicht.htm It's mostly in German, but each game page usually has a rules section in…
Their money is mostly stored in regulated and insured banks and investments. Even if you get their bank password, you can't just move all their money at once to an untraceable account in an irreversible transaction…
By these rules, you just committed an attack and violated the rights of others by saying "88". If you were banned to prevent this attack, nothing of value would be lost. Oh, "but I wasn't SAYING it" you say? Who judges…
I think you have some XIs that should be IXs.
Reminds me of "100 Great Science Fiction Short Short Stories" edited by Asimov. The format works really well for hard sci-fi, gets straight to the point. Some of them have stuck with me for decades.
That's just a ternary operator. I use that in Java all the time. value = boolean ? this_value : other_value; If the branching logic gets too complicated, I usually move it into a function (private method) with a return…
If it was "promise" in the sense of "showing promise", then it's a mass noun and they wouldn't have said "a promise". That's like saying "a money" or "a knowledge".
That was actually mentioned in Nintendo Power volume 50, it's one of the most well-known and easy-to-perform video game glitches. They also mentioned the Zelda 2 glitch where you could wrong-warp by jumping off the top…
No, that's already covered by 0000, nobody drinks that one. Number the bottles 0 to 15 and it's clearer.
The ruling was in 2015, there was a year delay before it came into effect.
Some of these are poorly worded. Why does the answer to the May one keep talking about 30 seconds passing when the only time mentioned in the problem is 30 minutes? 30 seconds gives Nick at least 10 seconds per possible…
It wouldn't need to involve cognition and logic, it could be evolutionary coincidence: humpback whales with behavior that happens to result in fewer orcas nearby would have more surviving offspring, so this behavior…

What black hole are you sending JSON into where the only way they could know something is a date is if you use a date type? Why can't that be part of the data structure you agreed upon in order to communicate in the…
Would this be implemented as only showing pairs within a certain threshold of difference, or would it choose an application purely at random and then the application with the closest score (or even 50/50 the next…
I think most people are reading that example and imagining a one-off harsh interaction with someone who doesn't usually snap like that, while the way you describe it: > how unpleasant social interactions persist and…
Everyone forgets about Pac-Man, that was another huge contributor to the crash. The 2600 couldn't handle 5 sprites, so they used one sprite for all the ghosts and showed one per frame. The flickering ghosts against the…
That doesn't explain what "declared a de jure court" means. Declared an according-to-law court? And that made the judge run away? It's gibberish.
>and then taken the idea and started building it into their machines by default. And sold it and kept all the money to themselves? Sounds like a great deal for them.
I think he's describing a different problem, since he mentions majority voting. If I was splitting a cake with 2 other people (A and B), A suggested fair division into thirds, and B suggested half for me and half for B,…
>In ROUND100, Alice knows Bob will take whatever non-zero offer she makes. Wait, how does she know that? Can you explain why you consider that the most rational choice for Bob to make? As experiment shows, this is not…
>Another problem which puzzles me even more is dividing a cake among three people by majority vote. Is there a name for this problem? I can only find the fair cake cutting problem, which has been solved for 3 people.
>declared a de jure court What does this mean? Google has no results for that phrase, using any verb tense.
Wow, talk about cherry-picking. And those both resulted in jail time. How about the "unfortunate history" of falsified research in other countries? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_misconduct#Notable_... Do you…
