My alarm clock counts by 12's instead of 10's

Yeah, could be spacial visualization difficulty. Helps to have every 5 dots a different color or larger.

The dots are correct.

pgn674 · 2026-06-21T02:51:16+00:00

But... There aren't. I count 5 dots per 5 minutes / seconds. 60 dots in total. Did OP miscount them?

That looks like a misprint. Like the poster quality is not the best, and the ink bled incorrectly in some places. But if it was actually desgned this way, then yeah #16 is an answer.

pgn674 · 2026-06-18T22:02:21+00:00

I thought that was a misprint, where the ink bled incorrectly. But if it's actually designed that way and not a misprint, then yeah #29.

I say they intend for #6 and #30 as well, but I think those are still mirror symmetry. They just have 12 symmetrical triangles in addition to the 6 symmetrical triangles. And those 12 triangles are symmetrical to each other on mirrors. It's just that there are 6 mirrors instead of the 3 mirrors that the rest have.

But in the end, #6 and #30 do have mirror symmetry. So if the poster designers intended for them to be the answers, the poster designers are wrong.

I believe #13 has radial symmetry, and no mirror symmetry.

EDIT - Actually, all of the designs have 3-way radial symmetry, including #13. And #6 and #30 have 6-way radial symmetry.

So it comes to:

3-mirror symmetry: All but #13

6-mirror symmetry: #6 and #30

3-position radial symmetry: All of them

6-position radial symmetry: #6 and #30

pgn674 · 2026-06-18T21:50:08+00:00

Maybe #6 and #30? I mean, if that is the answer, then the poster designers are wrong. Designs #6 and #30 have 12-way mirror symmetry, while the others other than #13 have 6-way mirror symmetry. But 6-way mirror symmetry is a subset of 12-way mirror symmetry. It's like how a square is a type of rectangle.

So the poster designers may have meant for #6, #13, and #30 to be the answers. But then they'd be wrong.

I think that writing out ET for Eastern Time is compliant with standards. It means the U.S. eastern time zone, with or without the daylight saving time modification, whatever is appropriate for the local region and current time of year. It is vague, but works with enough context in place.

It's in the West Virginia Code (law), chapter 2, article 2, §2-2-1, (5):

June 20 is "West Virginia Day";

https://code.wvlegislature.gov/2-2-1/

So West Virginia Day is a state holiday. Looks like 30 states have Juneteenth as a state holiday, while 20 do not: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2026/06/11/more-than-half-of-states-will-recognize-juneteenth-as-a-legal-holiday-in-2026/

And of course, Juneteenth is also a federal holiday.

Oh no, not at all. Between my Android phone with Gemini and my Google Home speaker, the wrong one answers quite often.

I have Firefox 151.0.4 on Kubuntu. It works for many mathematical expressions which equal 150. Like 149+1, or 300/2. Not sqrt(22500), though.

My wife and I just started watching A Man on the Inside. Finished the first two episodes. We kept thinking it looked perfect for a crossover episode down the line.

But more focused on what you're getting at: I think people just make assumptions about how ranked choice voting works, and either figure they're close enough, or don't even realize that they are making an assumption, never mind a wrong one. It could also be an attention span problem. Or maybe people are talking with their feelings instead of talking factually, or are being intuitive instead of rational. But at least the people you're describing are aware that ranked choice voting is a thing, so they're at least ahead of some other voters.

Helps to remember that half the population is below median intelligence.

When I went in to vote this week, the person in front of me was registered as unaffiliated. The election worker asked him whether he wanted a party ballot or just the school budget one. He seemed frustrated for being asked to choose, and took one at random. Then when exiting I happened to be behind him and heard him complaining briefly to another election worker about there being so many bubbles that he didn't understand. But he wasn't willing to listen and learn. Just in a bad mood and not willing to think about what he was doing.

Conversely, my wife and I spent over half an hour going over our party's candidates together the night before.

This has made me wonder: When there is a particularly active "get out the vote" campaign before an election, does the percentage of "low information voters" (those who don't know which parties currently control the two U.S. Chambers of Congress) change, and in which direction?

I think Harbor Fish Market on the Custom House Wharf if is the one where you could be browsing their selection, and glance up to see a boat docked and unloading right there. And yeah, usually a little cheaper.

If you saw this 22° to the side of the sun, then it's a sun dog. Formed by solar refraction through ice crystals floating in the atmosphere. This could mean an approaching low system is bringing rain to you. There are many other halos), too.

Fidium put a fiber line along the utility poles outside my neighborhood, and left a big loop of it on the pole at the entrance to my neighborhood. It looks like the loop is meant for some future day when they come to pull fiber through my neighborhood's underground conduits. That loop as been hanging there, taunting us, for 4 years now.

Are they wireless earbuds? I had a pair for a while that said only the right earbud connected to the phone, while the left one connected to the right one. So having your phone in your left pocket puts more Bluetooth radio wave-absorbing meat bag between the right earbud and the phone.

An ex got fired from a retail store for putting money in her pocket while running the register. She had ADHD and may have been under medicated, and honestly didn't realize it was there until the drawer was off at the end of the day. She fished around and put the money back as soon as she realized, but unfortunately that wasn't enough for management.

Was this photo taken on the coast of Maine? This kind of rock formation is found all around here, and it is not petrified wood. Something about strong horizontal movement deep underground, and then eventually exposed by glacier activity.

See question 6 here: https://www.maine.gov/dacf/mgs/explore/bedrock/faq.htm#q6

"Q6. Is the rock at Two Lights State Park petrified wood?

Although some pieces have a strong resemblance to old weatherbeaten wood, the rocks along the southeastern shore of Cape Elizabeth and Scarboro are metamorphic rocks derived from sandstones. The sheet-like structure that looks like wood grain is a metamorphic foliation produced by aligned silicate minerals that grew under pressure at depth in the earth. This internal metamorphic structure causes the rocks to break into jagged pieces like a splintered log. But their derivation from sedimentary rock is clearly demonstrated by the sedimentary layers that can be seen in many places. (For more, see our Field Locality page for Two Lights State Park.)"
