To be honest I got pry for investigate and ic for one hundred and thought pecuniary was worth a shot - my speed solving methodology was developed from ~25 years of commuting into the city of London determined to try and finish the Telegraph cryptic before I arrived at Waterloo ( 35 minute journey )

An aged one wonders:
I have never (ever) come close to solving even one of these. Does that mean that any program/script I have ever written is sadly lacking? Real programmers can solve all of them?
I should retire, I wish I had commented my code.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Probably not - but many developers like puzzles, and even grew up with physical crosswords.
These take practice, a reasonable vocabulary, and a twisted mind. It's probably the first and last you are missing!

Hmmm. Would a twisted mind be better than no mind at all?

I was going to build something out of legos and a little ESP32-CAM that could recognize my cats and chase them around, but my cam arrived and the little thing is broken - everything looks red/pink and hopelessly grainy. Something's not right. It can't do cat scanning without a good camera. meh. That's what I get for not ordering the modules in multiples at a time.
I do intend to build this, so long as I can use my hubby's legos - i may have to splice into his kit. should be a fun project, but i can't start it now until I get good hardware.

a-ha! So Lego is the opposite of Maths. In the UK, multiple lego is still lego, whilst maths is always maths. In the USA, multiple lego is legos (legoes?) but single maths is math. I wonder what other singular/plural oddities there are?

Does a US fire hydrant have H2O on the inside, and K9P on the outside?

Why does it have to be a US fire hydrant?

Because I've never seen 'em anywhere else ... European, Russian, and much of Asia use underground ones which don't attract dogs. A heavy cover protects them, and reduces the "street furniture" that can be tampered with / driven into / damaged while providing access for fire workers.
I think they are used in Canadia, but I've never been there.
