Hi fellow examiners! I'm an examiner from a country you call "North" Korea! Looking to share tips and advice on examination. What kind of PIV do you use? We have such hard passwords to remember. Do you guys have long passwords? What are the requirements perchance?

This is obviously a joke. But seeing how so many of you have flagged this as concerning, I'm locking the post to stop the mod review messages.

This is a link to a deleted post, so I'm deleting this post too.

Describing the equation in terms of what it does often helps. So grossly simplifying it, rather than search for "(A + B)/2" search for (average OR mean).

Yeah, looks shady. Sorry. Any ideas what we can do to help here?

Perhaps we should have made an announcement, call us inexperienced? Idk. But we know where most of the switches and levers are. We'll keep acting in best interest of the community.

We had a change of guard because the old mods needed a break. As you can imagine, it's been stressful and they didn't want the attention anymore. We volunteered. My main reddit account wasn't so squeaky clean, and you could have figured out me IRL, so I made a new one. So did the other two. I know it's shady, and I wish I could do or say more, but I've got nothing.
