Jul 9, 2019 at 22:09 history bounty ended Mr Pie
Jul 6, 2019 at 11:50 comment added Mr Pie @GarethMcCaughan $\diamondsuit$ Admittedly, I saw xnor's 19.9k reputation and thought, "Eh, why not?" But the bounty was decided for xnor predominantly on the fact that their answer was sniped and that this is a good question (if it were a bad question, I would not wish to bump it up on the front page and potentially steal attention from a better question). I do not think it is entirely fair for someone to not get the recognition they deserve with the green checkmark because they were at least two seconds short of the accepted answer, but of course, as the saying goes: "There can be only one!"
Jul 6, 2019 at 11:28 comment added Gareth McCaughan @MrPie Interesting bounty choice. Neil's answer, while a little later than these two, generalizes enormously and (to my mind) does much more to explain what's going on. (I do agree that it seems like xnor was robbed a bit here.)
Jul 6, 2019 at 2:44 comment added Mr Pie Your answer was 2 minutes earlier than the accepted answer; also, your answer conceals the information to use as a strategy of solving the puzzle, whereas the accept answer only hides the picture. Consequently, I will award you a +100 rep bounty and boost you past 20k rep. Congratulations! :)
