or whatever else has 100 pennies in

Well it’d be 8 shillings, 4 pence, in pre-decimal British currency.

And changing priorities and scope.

the edit worked

there’s also, if you’re interested, a second part of the puzzle that I edited into the above. It’s not a riddle though so feel free to ignore.

Yeah that’s the old Reddit syntax. Some former Reddit apps haven’t updated to support the syntax specified for use on Lemmy. I would recommend contacting your app’s devs and asking them to support Lemmy’s syntax.

You gotta do ::: spoiler [spoiler description] on the first line (most of the time, that means ::: spoiler Spoilers or similar.

She comes sometimes at need,
But never at your heed.
To meet with her is jolly,
To push her would be folly.

Who is she?

edit: for bonus points, I first came across this with a second step in the puzzle. Not a riddle, but a different kind of puzzle. Solve this:

Though that’s not the same text I had the first time (it was in a D&D game and the text was related to that), the same technique would need to be applied to read the above text. The riddle’s solution is relevant.

127.0.0.x

It’s actually a /8. 127.x.x.x

There’s a case to be made for them all being fish biologically speaking, too.

Of course, that case would also mean making chicken, beef, and all the other meat people typically eat would be fish, which might defeat the intent of the rule.

As far as pseudocode goes, this is pretty damn good. The main thing I’d change is that things in “quotes” generally represent strings, i.e. literal text. Variable names usually don’t have quotes around them. That’s a universal enough trait of real programming languages that it would almost never not transfer to pseudocode. Also, numbers intended to be read as numbers don’t typically have quotes.

If
am_pm_indicator = "pm"
AND
hour =/= 12
ADD 12 to hour

Else
Ignore the am/pm indicator, time is correct in 24 hour format. # Leaving this as-is because it's more like a comment than code anyway

I mean yeah, morally speaking, the half+7 rule works shockingly well. It’s just not entirely reasonable for the law to encode something like that though, so there’s always going to be a line somewhere. 16 seems reasonable to me (but then, I’m also a supporter of lowering the voting age to 16…)

I don’t care about legality

That would still make it illegal in most western countries though

That’s what I was responding to.

Scots is generally regarded as a distinct language, but this looks to me like it’s probably Scottish English. Compare that with the front page of Scots Wikipedia* which is much harder to understand than this is. Half of the weirdness in this message is spelling English words how they’re pronounced with a strong Scottish accent:

Urgh, I’m fair scunnered with that daft idiot down the road, always haverin about his new motor like it’s something pure gallus

Which only leaves a small number of dialect-specific words.

ty!

You can write 1984 in octal as 3700

Right, but we’ve read it as “1984” already, so it’s a question of how we interpret those digits. It could be decimal 1984, or if it’s dozenal it would be (3124)₁₀, or hexadecimal would mean it’s (6532)₁₀. And the post itself doesn’t actually mention an age, that’s just us interpreting it

Maybe “age of consent” is something different

It is, very often. Most countries have it at 16 or lower, as do most states in America, I believe. (I’m not American, and that’s just something I vaguely recall hearing an American say. Never bothered verifying it myself.)

I don’t actually know any 16 year-olds. But are they into Roblox? I thought that was more of an 8–14 y/o type thing?

That would still make it illegal in most western countries though.

It sounds like they started dating when she was 16, which means as gross as it is, it’s not illegal in most places. Unless there was some sort of grooming, which is definitely possible given they first met when she was 15, but nothing we’ve been told in the story lets us determine for sure that it’s illegal.

As for octal, you can’t write 9 in octal, so we know 1984 has to be base 10 at a minimum.

Thanks for sharing, but do you have a direct link? I’d love to see if there’s a follow up about said “music” 😆

To me, the biggest thing missed isn’t links. And I think I’m not alone—if I was, lemmit.online would have succeeded instead of being a wasteland. The thing missed is the conversation. Without the comments, you lose 95% of the value of Reddit.

If it didn’t do two-way bridging of comments I wouldn’t really see much point.

And Reddit would ban any accounts used for that pretty quickly.
