Speaking for (not) myself, nope. Or so I hear

Well it’s either a joke or a personal attack, pick one

Wonder if there’s enough interest in this to create a comm for it. Or maybe a more generic ‘daily game’ thing

Nice, thanks!

Welcome to the 3rd world, America

What’s not the same thing? The entire article is about this class of math problems. Did you bother reading it?

Pretty disappointing that it doesn’t allow you to access old puzzles.

You seem be be operating under the assumption that laws themselves will always be just and equal.

Addition / subtraction and multiplication / division are interchangeable, so that’s still functionally identical in all aspects.

It does sound like it could be more efficient, but that applies to a lot of things in our production and logistic chains.

Who cares who’s doing the recycling, as long as it’s not ending up in a landfill somewhere?

Or move outside the US

Either way, that will be an important lesson

That will be an important lesson

So are non Americans

This reads like a schoolkid who just discovered semantics
