Well to complicate things, I don't think RULES is the answer. This is a cryptic crossword clue. They usually contain the answer twice (well... Cryptically!!) Writes in C or R, say. I think the answer is CODER If you look up the definition of say in the dictionary one option is: 1. give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority (verb) That's the simple part of the clue. (Notice the comma cryptic clues have two parts giving the "same" answer) The more complex part I think is that and 'ode' (a poem that is written like it is said or something) is written in between C and R giving C ODE R, ... Very happy to be corrected... (Oh and as a third part a coder writes in C or R... I hope the JavaScript kids are listening ;-) ) On Fri, 13 Dec 2024, 04:26 Ebert,Timothy Aaron, <tebert at ufl.edu> wrote:> I do not understand the question and I do not understand the answer. > Possibly one confounds the other. > > -----Original Message----- > From: R-help <r-help-bounces at r-project.org> On Behalf Of Erin Hodgess > Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2024 11:56 AM > To: Bill Dunlap <williamwdunlap at gmail.com> > Cc: r-help at R-project.org > Subject: Re: [R] [off-topic] crossword > > [External Email] > > RULES! > > > Erin Hodgess, PhD > mailto: erinm.hodgess at gmail.com > > > On Thu, Dec 12, 2024 at 9:42?AM Bill Dunlap <williamwdunlap at gmail.com> > wrote: > > > The New York Times crossword this morning had the clue (51 down, 5 > > letters) "Writes in C or R, say". > > > > -Bill > > > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > > > ______________________________________________ > > R-help at r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see > > https://stat/ > > .ethz.ch%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fr-help&data=05%7C02%7Ctebert%40ufl.edu > > %7C9366be18e5a944b55dba08dd1acde487%7C0d4da0f84a314d76ace60a62331e1b84 > > %7C0%7C0%7C638696193817496836%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGki > > OnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ > > %3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=hhGilTFwNpgxXeDLO0HS7l4ofoCk%2FXuGhYx3QkuzFj > > c%3D&reserved=0 > > PLEASE do read the posting guide > > https://www/. > > r-project.org%2Fposting-guide.html&data=05%7C02%7Ctebert%40ufl.edu%7C9 > > 366be18e5a944b55dba08dd1acde487%7C0d4da0f84a314d76ace60a62331e1b84%7C0 > > %7C0%7C638696193817516516%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRy > > dWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D% > > 3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Z7oKvEwSTzOCNXiMVlYtWtGTg30KADP8F09tQyv3fkA%3D&r > > eserved=0 and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible > > code. > > > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide > https://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide > https://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. >[[alternative HTML version deleted]]
The answer for "Writes in C and R, say" was "codes". I was impressed that R has passed into popular culture.
