The idea of asking the question came about after a long break, when the Bears appeared in their thread. I thought that maybe someone else from those who are remembered a lot, but who haven't appeared on the forum for a long time, could be called.

So I found a branch of matemet. I remembered that I sent the question to the "What? Where? When? The question was, of course, more of an erudition question. But for the format of the show I think it's quite suitable. Didn't take into account the fact that the Russian-language thread has many users from other countries. But I think they are not offended. Especially the citizens of the forest bratva money country guessed the answer.

The first to give the right answer was...

1. @ingensi is apparently not hovering in the abstracts of the top programmer.

2. @sibirqk is a cute chimp with a modest rating.

Please accept my humble gift of a handcraft, maybe a household use. I will send a private message.

A beautiful task. But the wording of the task was incomplete, which is probably why it was not included into the game. But well done, it's really beautiful.

Thank you. (chuckles) The "What? Where? When?" game is my favourite. I've been watching since the days of Voroshilov, Laptyn Nuraliev, Dvinyatin, Shangin. Tens of thousands of questions come into the game. The chances of your question being read carefully are slim.

I think it should have been sent by paper mail in a big, beautiful envelope with actual samples of answers, with an extra Amur River. There would have been a better chance.

 

It's a cool task, it's strange that it wasn't taken. I have an acquaintance who sent his problem and it passed, but this one seems more interesting and original to me.

It may be very simple for experts.

Maybe it's too simple for experts.

C Thank you. About the simplicity, I remember one question asked for a strong team of Druse. I immediately answered it, because I encountered such tricky institutions.

Question.

WHY DO SOME ORGANIZATIONS HAVE A 48-MINUTE LUNCH BREAK. EXACTLY 48 MINUTES. WHY?

 
Alexander Laur:
4/5 hours. For the convenience of some timing calculations. First thing that came to mind.
No . These are tricky organizations. I've only seen public ones. And they're the ones that say 48 minutes on their schedules. Like lunch at 12:00 to 12:48.

It is also possible to start the working day 12 minutes earlier.

I think you have guessed or knew what the dodgy one-place organisations are doing this for.

Nah, just used google.
