Decomposing numbers into their primes to do multiplication seems like a fairly awful “trick” to me.

How do you know? Have you ever looked into any number theory? If not I wouldn’t knock it.

What’s your favourite theorem?

Yeah... I read all of your comment. It’s not correct. You said quantum mechanics was discovered because we “had the models” and “knew where to look”. That is not true.

Why?

If we didn’t have the models, and didn’t know where to look, we wouldn’t have discovered quantum physics.

My car’s British and it doesn’t have that arrangement either. Most cars don’t in fact.

They really aren’t. Maybe it’s a regional thing but when I do an image Google for “gear stick”, fewer than half have the arrangement in the riddle.

God, this riddle is horribly shit if that’s actually the answer. It would be barely passable if that were some kind of universal convention for gear sticks, but it’s not even. Both of my cars have had sticks like this:

I dunno who decided this thing was an astrolabe.

Shrug. Robb did lay with her out of wedlock, and in the books that’s why he married her. Maybe you confused that with getting her pregnant. But that certainly never happened. It was heavily hinted at the time that her mother was sterilising her, and it was explicitly confirmed to Jaime in the Riverlands.

What do you mean, “George’s attitudes”? You mean his attitudes to portraying those things in fiction, right — not his actual attitudes towards those things.

Bad example; Robb Stark doesn’t have a child in the books. Tywin was conspiring with Robb’s wife’s mother, giving Robb’s wife abortive moon tea. So the show didn’t really change anything there.

I interpreted him as perhaps meaning that he thinks putting Sansa in her place was a bad and illogical change.

Baguette.

Not completely helpful. It didn’t tell me how prevalent genuine gluten problems are. Also it didn’t explicitly clarify whether gluten has any negative health effects on normal people.

Optimistic about this one. The tiny glimpse we got of the dinosaur was amazingly well-animated and loveable.

Given that the situation in Winterfell in the show is very different from that in the books, your snide comment is not even well-founded...

But he looks so intelligent...

I think perhaps the puzzle should have defined pen, or used another term like “ring of fencing” or something.
