2x2 rubik's cubes are harder. Just sayin'. '''[[User:Davidy22|{{Color|#707|David}}y²²]]'''[[User talk:Davidy22|<tt>[talk]</tt>]] 01:25, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

This would likely be found in the residence of my colleague ['''REDACTED'''], as he has a collection of odd Rubik's Cube clones.{{unsigned|173.72.159.14}}

I solve the cube with corner pieces and edge pieces in separate steps, so I find 2x2s harder. I just have to do the corner steps. 04:25, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:1105: License Plate

In New Jersey (USA), the laws allowing personalize license plates specifically disallows plates in the format of a standard plate.

Wouldn't this idea be more effective (theoretically) with 0's and O's (that is, zeroes and capital O's)? [[User:Erenan|Erenan]] ([[User talk:Erenan|talk]]) 15:58, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Shouldn't this be comic 1111? Only 2 weeks to go. --[[User:Xkpd|Xkpd]] ([[User talk:Xkpd|talk]]) 19:32, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Discussing this comic over chat with a friend...
A: I thought he actually robbed the banks..and she pre-emptively ratted him out. Apparently, an alternative interpretation is that she committed the robbery. Which one of the two is it?
B: She robbed the banks.
A: Well, you can just fake any number plate. Why bother faking his unusual one specifically? Unless, she's a sadist of course...
B: Just 'cause he leaked his plans to her
A: lol #LessonsToBeLearnt #NeverTellWomenAnything
B: Agreeeed!

::I don't think she FAKED his plate, I think she bought another personalized plate with a different combination of 1's and I's which the police just assumed was his because of his already existing reputation as the guy committing crimes with the 1's and I's license plate.

:::I was of the impression that he actually committed the robberies, and that the "clever"-ness was in getting him to admit that he was with his car (instead of his car being stolen or borrowed.) --[[Special:Contributions/193.150.8.123|193.150.8.123]] 15:13, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

::::I thought he had only committed the one crime (vandalization) and the police tricked him into admitting it by accusing him of 5 other fake crimes.[[Special:Contributions/38.118.83.250|38.118.83.250]] 19:58, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Um, I'm pretty sure the license plate office specifically forbids use of certain characters BECAUSE of their ambiguity. Like, I and O are not allowed in PA because of their similarity to 1 and 0. So this comic lives in the realm of fiction where they haven't thought of that already. --[[User:Tustin2121|Tustin2121]] ([[User talk:Tustin2121|talk]]) 16:35, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Just after this ran, I saw a photo (on some internet "funny photo" site) of a car with an actual New Your state license plate made up of only Bs and 8s (e.g. "B88BB8B") for a similar effect.

I saw a BMW with license plate "I1IIIII" a day or two after this ran. 17:45, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

If they were ever brought to court in the US, assuming they were both driving the same type of car, they would be able to provide enought mutual reasonable doubt as to which one of them had done it. [[Special:Contributions/67.41.79.164|67.41.79.164]] 03:37, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

I played a game called Everybody Edits, where the 5 and S were the same. nobody could perform the /kick command on me >:D

Randall should add a bonus if you click on the wing in the image. 03:44, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

But how would the school know about the Lenhart children if Mrs. Roberts deleted the students table?
