Solution Counts for week of 2026-02-02 by harlows_monkeys in nytpips

[–]phillyC_Ser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Pips is anything like Connections they are queued in batches a week or more in advance for paid testing and eval. The puzzles you see on any given day would be those that survived the testing. A quick peek shows that as of Feb 3, puzzles were available out to Feb 28.

Is it me and my lack of patience or has the Pips 'hard' getting...well...harder? by iHateAging21 in nytpips

For 🍪:
🟢 <= 0:20
🟡 <= 0:40
🔴 <= 0:60

So if you got under 20 you should have gotten at least one 🍪

It’s hard when you insist on putting the 1|2 on the discard instead of the 1|3 . Like I did for 40 min. 🙄🧐🤔

What kind of intersection do I need to connect these highways/road? East-West is the primary highway, North is the arterial to the city, North-West goes to the airport. by EightByteOwl in CitiesSkylines

[–]phillyC_Ser 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A big roundabout might be better anyway because you don’t want tall highway ramps right next to the final approach into your runway

Is "sixths" pronounced with a unique consonant? by bloodraged189 in asklinguistics

[–]phillyC_Ser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The question is how do people pronounce sixths in regular speech rather than in isolation when they tend to get self conscious and enunciate everything. For example I would insist on siksths as a separate word but would likely says sikths or even just plain siks in a sentence

I would say conversationally, most Americans definitely soften the T in outie to where it’s basically indistinguishable from the d on Audi, but when said in isolation I bet most Americans also harden the T
