    A general request to all posting in this thread:

    PLEASE Please Please precede all or any possible solutions/speculations with a SPOILER warning and some white space!!!!

    Your consideration would be much appreciated by me. I am a slow coach, I take longer than 24 hours to solve, sometimes several days. I putter along at my own slow pace.

    Feel free to go ahead at your pace and move on to the next one but dont forget!!! the spoiler warning and the white space! Thank you!!

    The speculations are intended to help as extra clues. Wouldn't you rather read them? If not, we'll mark them. All solutions where the answer is mentioned explicitly will be marked as spoilers. I guess I'll think up a few simple tags for various levels of answers. You can choose which ones you want to read and which ones you wish to avoid. I'll post some later tonight.

    Numbers can mean letters and letters can mean numbers. Think!

    Welcome to the thread Priya. Glad you decided to join us. What fun is a walk in the park without a few meandering paths and some stimulating scenery. :)

    Sandhya,

    In that case , would an inverse strategy suit you to index the puzzles in the beginning of the thread, rather than tag the solutions/speculations, tag the puzzle?


    I'm not sure what the technology involved is, does it already exist, tag the puzzle to appear in the index post (the first post of the thread), can admin access be granted only to a thread?


    FP forum winning posts and Chitvish's posts have indexing but not sure if that is a manual process or scripted.

    Accurate version:

    ["2217"] = notice the slant, it is Pi or Py
    ["1000"] = 1000 kgs or tonne or symbol 't'
    ["6.6"] = 6.62606957 × 10-34 m2 kg / s, planck's constant , denoted as 'h'
    ["<"] = Angular acceleration, rate of change of angular velocity and is usually denoted by the Greek letter alpha, i.e English letter 'a'
    ["9.8"] = standard gravity, 9.807 m/s2, denoted as 'g'
    ["0"] = O
    ["84"] = 84.78402×10[SUP]−6 [/SUP]m[SUP]3[/SUP] kgf/cm[SUP]2[/SUP] K[SUP]−1[/SUP] mol-1, ideal gas constant denoted as 'R'
    ["<"] = Alpha, angular bracket , angular acceleration, 'a'
    ["5"] = notice the curve, S

    Answer # Pythagoras

    The coefficients 6.6, 9.8 , 84 (though 8.3 in J K[SUP]−1[/SUP] mol[SUP]−1 [/SUP]usage is more popular) outstand in scientific constants.

    No no, pls lets not complicate. I have no problem with speculation, discussion, additional clues is fine.

    Simply put: if the post contains the solution to the puzzle or a partial solution say to a couple of lines or one pic out of 3 then please mark it as Spoiler alert.

    Indexing the puzzles is a great idea. Putting puzzles and their solutions in a list will allow new comers to jump into the thread without scanning 200+ posts. It would be great if the parent post could be made permanently editable. But if I remember correctly from my days moderating this forum, that is not a privilege that can be made available on a thread by thread basis. Only moderators and up have that level of access. We'll just have to make do with spoiler tags and white space.
