That was a typo, right..? You meant “journalism”, not “science”.

Did you not read the paragraph below or something..? It explains pretty clearly what it means. It means a personality correlated with slimness.

Good point. I’m glad they’re including the Iron Islands after all; it slightly restores my faith in the writers having a good idea what they’re doing, because the limbo Balon thing was bizarre. But I was bemused by the Priest thing; why would they focus on that minor character so late in the game when they’ve been…

Uh... no. It’s Euron who is famous for sailing all around the world, including to Valyria. Victarion has not. Euron is also the mad and cunning one. Victarion is rather mad too but he’s also an idiot.

I’m fairly ignorant about this whole thing; how were they hoist by their own petard?

By the end of the published books she’s not really a victim any more. Nobody’s brutalising her, and she’s allied with Littlefinger, who is a powerful figure. They both plan to secure the Vale, marry her to the Vale’s heir, and then reveal her as the heir to Winterfell and reclaim the North. There was a sample chapter…

Maybe I’m misreading you, but Sansa becoming less of the perennial victim is precisely what’s happening in the books. The show has broken away, by not doing this.

The Sand Snakes do literally nothing in the books.

He wasn’t petulant, he was despairing. You’re massively misreading Tommen’s character...

That makes no physical sense and is entirely your imagination.

Not really relevant...

Your method seems like an unnecessary waste of milk.

True experts are also experts in a narrow subset of a single field. It’s possible to be an expert in mathematics without any knowledge of physics, and probable that he’d simply never studied some of the things you were asking about, not even on a basic “pop-sci” level.

He probably just didn’t know.

Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

That’s what the good Lord gave us sarin gas for.

As the article says, artefacts have been removed. What further action are you talking of? And who is “we”?

Islamic state is an organisation, not an adjective. They want to establish and rule over a single hardline Muslim state. That means usurping the rulers of Syria, who are, obviously, a different group people.

I haven’t tried the puzzle yet. I was just saying what it looked like, and that it was up to the puzzle’s creator. If you’re telling me that only respecting order of operations gives you an answer, then I’m sure you’re right about how the puzzle was intended.

“Full proof”...
