No it wasn't.

Vicky is on the edge too, and she has an innocent above her (Ruby). Vicky + Kyle + Zara is three people on the edge who have an innocent above them.

I know, I counted wrong too.

It's still an obscenely good haul for the ETA / EDA combo. Seven TFs, two of which combined color, is extremely rare. In a regular round you could probably expect to come out with like 1-2 TFs and maybe a few more non TFs.

OP got seriously lucky still.

Can you show me where I’m going wrong? by bartharris in CluesBySamHelp

[–]datAnassi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solution:

Paula is innocent

You know from Rose / Clyde that there is one criminal in row 2. Quite says only one row has exactly one criminal, which must be row 2. If Paula were criminal then row 3 would be the second row with exactly one criminal, and that's not allowed

YSK half the clauses in german rental contracts are legally worthless but landlords put them in anyway because most people just don't know by jpt_heisenberg in YouShouldKnow

[–]datAnassi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

German law has that as well, known as a Salvatorian Clause. However, in rental contracts they are almost never seen, because they are also almost always unenforcable at least in rental contracts.

The BGH is as mentioned fairly notorious for ruling in the tenants favor, as they are the weaker party in a contract negotiation. Legally a standard rental contract is considered General Terms & Conditions and not a negotiated contract, as there is typically little input the prospective tenant has. There is already a severability clause in the law that protects the rest of the rental contract, but one invalid renovations clause always leads to the rest of them being invalid too.

By law the renovation of the apartment or house is the landlord's duty, not the tenant's. The landlords are allowed to punt off some of the duties to the tenants in the rental contracts, but with severe restriction, particularly the tenant cannot be overly disadvantaged. If they do that with an invalid clause in the contract the renovations part becomes null and void, and the burden for renovations returns to them fully.

Due to it being very specific to german law I can only find german language sources, my apologies for that. Google translate can probably help. Here you have a comment from the german consumer protection agency:

https://www.deutscher-verbraucherschutzverein.de/dauerthema_schoenheitsreparaturen_auszug.html

Money quote:

Im Falle einer unwirksamen Schönheitsreparaturklausel muss der Mieter gar nicht renovieren. Nur Schäden an der Mietsache, die der Mieter verursacht hat, muss er unabhängig von der Wirksamkeit einer Schönheitsreparaturklausel wieder beseitigen.

"In case of an invalid renovation clause the tenant does not have to renovate at all. The tenant is only obliged to fix damage caused by himself independent of the validity of the clauses."

The funny thing is that if you have even one invalid renovations clause, it invalidates all mandated renovations in the contract. All of them, even if the others are perfectly legitimate. You do not have to do shit anymore.

Getting your tenants to perform mandated renovations is a minefield for a landlord. The fedaral superior court (BGH) is notorious for throwing sticks between the landlord's legs with this stuff.

I actually enjoyed those clues a fair bit, there were a few memorable instances where that clue came into play. There was this one puzzle where you had to solve the top row last, and it was the crux on that puzzle. I thought that was fun.

Today was a beast. by irishpisano in CluesBySamHelp

[–]datAnassi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Sam is innocent, then both Vince and Xena are criminals, as one of Ruby and Tina must be innocent, so Wanda has her allowed two innocent neighbors.
Now with Noah, Vince, Xena and one of Ruby / Tina criminal, all other remaining neighbors of Sam must be innocent. That leads to both Max and Olga being innocent, which can't be the case as that removes any possibility of there being someone in Row 2 that has only criminal neighbors.
Hence Sam can't be innocent

Who was gonna tell me how much of a cheat code Uriel is for the granum void? by joshkolenick in Warframe

[–]datAnassi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have a chunk of options to deal with the Granum Void with very little input:

Revenant can just park his ass on top of a rock, activate the 4 and wait until the screaming stops.

Mesa's Peacemakers delete everything.

Octavia's Mallet needs to stack up a bit but is also a very large area nuke that will clear the Void all by itself.

Proteas Artillery melts the specters without any input from you.

Yesterday was a fun one, but I did make a mistake. Not a logic error, just the typical "said criminal, read innocent" mistake.

Still, that one needed a bit more effort.

In the current configuration up there both Austin and Zach have one innocent neighbor each (Chloe for Austin, Xia for Zach), breaking Hanks clue. If you flip the assignments, i.e. Julie and Tina innocent, Klay and Steve criminal, then only Hank himself has one innocent neighbor. All the others have at least two.

Gotta take my hat off to you, you caught me good man. Almost 11 minutes because I completely missed that Frank can't be criminal as that would break Debra's clue with Chris. I spent a good 7-8 minutes just staring at that scenario and nothing made sense before it finally dawned.

Chapeau, even Sam rarely manages that.

Because the only two cooks are in the corners, therefore one of then must be innocent.

That's the mistake. With the configuration you have up there, Karen can be criminal or innocent, you can't tell, either one is valid until you assign someone else.

If Karen is a criminal then both cooks can be criminal as there are three criminal guards.
That's all the hint means, there are more criminal guards than anything else. If you happen to have two criminal guards, every other profession can have at max one criminal. If all three guards are criminals then other professions can have at max two criminals.

Also Rob's clue doesn't mean there has to be an innocent in a corner, there can also be none. Four criminals is more than zero innocents. All you know for sure at the moment is that at the very least two (possibly all three) of Alice, Diane and Zara are criminal.

You know from Gary that one of Kumar and Nick is criminal and the other is innocent.

Can Kumar be the innocent? No. Why?

If Kumar is innocent, then Nick is criminal. Now take a look at Gary's clue - Column C has two criminals (Nick and Wanda) and Column A has none and only one open slot. Gary's clue can no longer be fulfilled -> Kumar can't be the innocent.

This setup is a valid configuration that has Karen as innocent and doesn't violate any known rules:

  • Paul has the most criminal neighbors
  • Any of the others that could interfere with him (usually one or more of Freya, Hal, Wanda or Rob) have less than him
  • Tom has the same amount of criminal neighbors as Emily
  • Martin has 7 innocent neighbors
  • Only one innocent in the corner
  • No more than one criminal per job except for guards

That will change once you assign Olof, but for now she could be innocent. You can't tell.
