QUARKING was there. QUARK as a verb can be found by typing QUAWKING in ODP which lists quite a few spellings (QUOUK and QUORK).

Kind of surprised TARING^ isn't in as a verb form of TARE tbh - taring a scale (resetting it to zero) was commonplace in uni chemistry labs.
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

That's really interesting. I wonder if Susie would be able to find it in the heat of a match? There was a similar thing with JIMMY earlier in the series (listed as an alternate spelling of JEMMY in the dictionary, but a search would only bring up the capitalised and therefore invalid Jimmy)

I think any Lexicographer would need a prompt so I doubt she’d have found it by herself.

I hope you all noticed Rachel saying that the 314 was as easy as pi.

Rachel would want to cop herself on with the stern referee habit she's picked up in the last year or two.
1000-47 is actually NOT an identical method to 1000-50+3.
He should not have had to show over his paper.

Close enough to ask them to show their paper, I think.L'oisleatch McGraw wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 1:20 pm Rachel would want to cop herself on with the stern referee habit she's picked up in the last year or two.

FWIW, Quantum Tombola treats them as the same solution, biased though I may be.

We've discussed this before and there is a certain degree of subjectivity in deciding whether solutions are identical. You could say that 100+3+2 and 100+2+3 are identical or not, depending on your exact criteria. The two methods mentioned are certainly close enough that some people might consider them to be the same solution.
