Releases 1.296.0 – 1.333.0

1.333.025 August 2026

Number theory filled in, and the bases and bits read both ways

A number's divisors, or its divisors below itself, can be added up on their own now, and the divisors below a number can be listed by name rather than only counted.
Asking whether a number belongs to the Fibonacci sequence answers with its position, or the two neighbours it falls between.
The first few triangular numbers, square numbers or cubes list out in one line, the way the first few Fibonacci numbers already did.
Perfect, abundant and deficient numbers can be asked for under a limit, or as the first few of their kind.
Bitwise NOT joins AND, OR and XOR, and NAND, NOR and XNOR read as the gates a logic table gives them.
A bitwise answer or a hex sum can be asked for in a named base, and a sum written in hex reads bare digits either side of the operator.
A base conversion reads "convert 1010 from binary to hex" the way it already read "1010 base 2 to base 10", and the joining word in front of a base is optional now, the way it already was for a unit.
A base of nought refuses by name instead of falling silent, and a base literal with a digit its own base does not have says which one stopped it.
Two targets asked at once, like "12 in binary and words", read whichever notation each one asks for rather than only the bases.
An Excel column reads backwards too: letters to a number, and a number's column by its ordinal.

1.332.025 August 2026

The sum that would not start or finish

A sum ending on the equals key answers. 2 + 2 = is how every calculator ever built is told the sum is done, and pressing it here used to empty the answer.
2**10 is the power, the way a spreadsheet and most languages write it, and 5 // 2 is the whole part of the division, the way they write that.
A bracket that never closes now says so, and names how many are still open. A stray closing bracket says that too.
pow, mod, hypot and root answer to the call shape a keypad puts them in, and gcd and lcm take a whole list rather than a pair.
Common factors and common multiples answer to the words a schoolbook uses, and so does a number asked for as a product of primes.
A saved name with a factorial mark on it is a factorial again, clear all empties the whole list of names, and 1 to 10 sum reads with the word said last.
Composite has a verdict behind its meaning, a multiple is recognised as a multiple, and a fraction handed to the primes or the factors is refused out loud rather than met with silence.

1.331.025 August 2026

A theme button, and a wide sweep of dates, numbers and money

Every page now has a light or dark switch of its own beside the logo, on top of the system setting it already followed.
A span between two dates that straddles the ten days the Gregorian calendar deleted in October 1582 now counts the days that actually happened, and a date this side of that gap answers again.
Numbers in words read Indian grouping (12,34,567) and the European dot-grouped thousand (1.000.000) the same way they already read the Western comma.
A dilution asked as C₁V₁ = C₂V₂ answers with the water to add, and refuses plainly when asked to run uphill.
Percentiles, z-scores and poker odds print figures the maths actually supports instead of a rounding artefact, and a bitcoin asked in satoshi answers 100,000,000 to the coin.

1.330.124 August 2026

Unix timestamps keep the punctuation they arrived with

Fractional timestamps and the comma or space grouping common in logs now read as the instant they name instead of falling through to a calendar date.
Impossible precision and date-shaped timestamp forms refuse plainly, and a fraction immediately before the Unix epoch keeps its negative direction.

1.330.023 August 2026

Fits take the words around the number

Bare tons and gallons name the reading used. A thing fitting into itself is simply once, and files, bottles and other counted things say the whole number and what remains.
Fit questions now understand packing gaps, whole or full requests, “really”, “actually” and a trailing courtesy word without mistaking any of them for the thing named.

1.329.223 August 2026

Chemistry follows names through to the answer

Established systematic names beside household compound names now use the same formula and molar-mass calculation.
Formula spellings such as H2O reach the water point, and a named solvent tail is checked instead of ignored blindly.

1.329.123 August 2026

Chemistry reads the whole question

Strong-acid pH questions share one explanation, including “solution of HCl”, with pOH and the formula shown.
Systematic compound names, ordinary mole grammar, solution tails and dilution subjects now reach the chemistry they name.
Water and ice melt at 0 °C; untabled elements and compounds say what this small table does and does not hold.

1.329.023 August 2026

Chemistry names what was asked

mol and mols read as moles, methanol and the Latin element names read by name, and carbon's melting and boiling answers describe the property asked about.
Hydroxide, ammonium and sulfate ions accept a trailing charge or their common name; a misspelled compound points to the name it recognizes instead of an unrelated element.
Proteins and DNA say why one molar mass is not possible, while a pH question about an unspecified solution asks what is dissolved.

1.328.123 August 2026

Ten chemistry answers put right

A capital element symbol now stays that element, while capitalized names still reach the household-name and element readers.
Moles answer in the unit named, common formula typos are named in their echo, and oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine mean their diatomic substances in chemistry questions.
Strong acids and bases are named rather than guessed from a substring; sulfuric acid and calcium hydroxide use the chemistry their formula requires, and pH zero prints as zero.

1.328.021 August 2026

How big is it, drawn as well as said

Asking how big one thing is now draws that thing. “Siberia size”, “how big is Texas” and “area of the Alps” answer in square kilometres and show you the shape they are talking about, the way asking for its outline already did.
A question about how many people live somewhere still draws nothing, because a coastline cannot show you that.

1.327.021 August 2026

Several things counted as one

A size question about several places at once read exactly two of them and quoted the rest back as a place it did not know. Any number of names now add up, joined by “and” or by commas: “how many times does Texas fit into Dagestan, Chechnya and Altay” answers, and a name that holds the word “and” itself, Trinidad and Tobago, Bosnia and Herzegovina, stays one thing.

1.326.021 August 2026

A sunset on either face, and a country drawn on its own

A sunrise, a sunset or a solar noon now wears one of two faces, 20:57 or 8:57 p.m., chosen for the answer and held still while you type, and shuffled between visits. Ask for one by name and you get it: in military time, in 24-hour format, in am/pm format, in 12 hour time. Ask for both and you get both. The same words work on a plain clock question, and on a clock on its own, so “3pm in military time” is 15:00.
The line under a sunrise or a sunset says the day's length in words and the two clocks it runs between, and the last line writes the word coordinates before the pair.
The last release said the four countries of the United Kingdom had a shape, and they did, but the only way to see one was to ask a ratio. “United Kingdom shape”, “uk borders”, “outline of Scotland” and “what does Wales look like” now answer the area with the one outline drawn under it, and “size of the uk” and “united kingdom area” read beside “how big is”.

1.325.021 August 2026

Two hundred answers put right, and the picture grows a frame

A thousand questions were asked of this page in one day and every answer was read. Two hundred of the worst are fixed here. The pattern behind nearly all of them is the same: a reader answering a question that belonged to another reader, or a silence where the refusal was already written next door and nobody called it.
Big numbers were rounded and printed as though they were exact. A hundred and eleven million squared came back with noughts where its famous digits are. A whole number is written out in full as far as one can be held exactly now, and past that the answer says it is rounded rather than inventing the tail.
Sums that looked like dates were read as dates. 100/5/2 was the second of May in the year 100. It is 10.
“Time in china” answered for a town in Siberia and “time in iceland” for Ireland, because the clock knew thirty countries. It knows every country that keeps one now, and a country with more than one clock says so and asks for a city.
You can ask which cities are twelve hours ahead of you, or five and a half, and the answer says where the list came from and whether the gap holds all year.
“Hey”, “please” and “thank you” no longer stop a question being read, the dash a phone types works between two dates, and a line pasted inside quotes or brackets is read as the question inside it.
An hour asked in minutes and seconds said fifty-nine minutes and sixty seconds. Twelve inches in feet and inches said nought feet and twelve inches. Both count properly now. The micro sign works, which it never had: every rule that reads a unit was written to read the letters a to z, so no pattern could see it.
The tax readers stopped throwing away whatever came after the amount. A tax split four ways is split four ways, a tax in euros answers in euros, and a line with words it cannot read says which part it read.
The sun in the ring under an answer now stands where the sun in that place stands. It used to open at sundown wherever the sentence above it put it, and on a second question it kept the sky from the first.
The picture under a size answer can be pulled wider by its sides, zoomed in and out, and given up to six shapes at once. A shape dragged to the edge stops there rather than sliding under the frame.
Fifty-four things that had no shape have one: Siberia, the Caucasus, the Urals, Patagonia, Anatolia, the Alps, the Andes, the Gobi, the Amazon basin and forty-five more. Where there is still no shape, the picture says so instead of quietly not appearing.
A pH of eight for an acid, a healthy adult called obese because a spoken height was misheard, a sector fifty-seven times too big, a triangle told its own angles add to thirty billion degrees: all fixed, with the case written down so they cannot come back.

1.323.221 August 2026

Not asking about cities that were never there

When nothing else claims a name, this page guesses that it might be a city, and it asks the browser the only way a browser allows: build a clock for that place and see whether it objects. It asks once for each part of the world, so a word that is not a city costs ten clocks made and thrown away. You type one word at a time and never notice. The tests are not a reader, and they invent over a million words in a run, which is thirteen million clocks built to be told no.
The list of places does not move under a page, so the no can be looked up instead. The browser still has the last word on every name that survives the lookup, and a browser too old to hand over its list is asked the way it always was. Harbin, Montreal, Nuuk and every other place that answers to an older spelling still answer.
One thing did go wrong quietly. Ask two questions in one box and the second learns what the first named, so that “how big is Switzerland, and how many times does it fit into Texas” knows what it is. That memory was put down at the end of every reading but one: if a reading fell over, the name stayed, and the next question you asked could be answered about somebody else's country. It is put down now whatever happens.
Nothing about the answers has changed in this release.

1.323.121 August 2026

One ratio, one number

“How many times does Texas fit into Russia” answers 24.6 times, and the caption under the drawing said “one of 25”. Two numbers for one ratio, a line apart, and the picture's was the rounder one. The figure now quotes the ratio the way the answer prints it.

1.323.021 August 2026

One shape, unless you ask for the rest

Ask how many times Texas fits into Russia and the answer is 24, and until today the drawing answered it a second time by covering Russia in 23 Texases. The number above the picture already says 24 and says it exactly. What the picture is for is the other half, which is how big one of them is against the whole, and a grid of 23 leaves nothing to carry to the corner you were wondering about.
So the figure draws one, and a tile button beside it draws every one of them for anybody who wants to count them. The letter t does the same from the keyboard, reset puts it back, and a link carries which of the two you were looking at.
The button showed up something that had been true and unseen since the tiling shipped: the count rounds and the tiles are whole ones, so past a half they disagreed. Texas into Russia is 23.54, so the figure said “one of 24” and then, one press later, “all 23 of them”. Where the two part company the caption now says “23 whole ones of 24”, and no line promises a count the drawing did not make.

1.322.020 August 2026

Russia gets a coastline, and the figure gets a handle

Every country was drawn on the same budget of 250 points, so Russia had as much detail as Estonia while spanning 170 degrees of longitude. Measured against its own source geometry in the projection that draws it, that Russia missed 4.2% of itself and its worst coastline vertex sat 236 km from the drawn edge. It now misses 1.3% and the worst vertex sits 26 km out. What a shape may spend is worked out from how much shape it has: Russia and Canada take 1,200 points, the United States 1,162, Norway 998, Alaska 385, and Switzerland, Texas and Estonia take nothing above the 250 they already had.
Across every country and US state the mean error falls from 2.34% to 0.94% and the worst ten from 13.8% to 5.6%. Two hundred and nine of 211 improve. The bounding box each shape is normalised into went from two decimals to four along the way, which was never economy: two decimals is a kilometre of slop, and on a nine-point island it was shrinking Palau by 19% and Nauru by 17%.
The figure can now be zoomed, out to sixteen times, with the wheel, a pinch, the plus and minus keys or the two buttons under it. Both shapes scale together, so it cannot be zoomed into claiming a ratio it does not have. The wheel is the figure's only once you have pressed it or tabbed into it, because a page whose scroll is stolen by a picture it is passing is worse than a page with no zoom.
Two boxes on that page choose the pair out of all 451 shapes, so a comparison can be found without going back through the calculator. The shape you drag now snaps to the middle and to the ground's four corners, which is the whole point of a drawing you can carry about: Luxembourg on Russia is four pixels across and nobody was landing it on a corner by hand. Hold Alt to drag past the snap.
Nothing can be lost any more. The shape is kept inside the frame, and one reset puts the drag, the swap and the zoom back. A link carries all of it, so a view you found is a view you can send, and every link written before today still opens.
Three things that were wrong yesterday. The figure could not be reached from the keyboard at all, so the arrow keys it advertised had never worked. Dragging the shape under an answer tracked your finger at 56% of its speed sideways, because the drawing is letterboxed inside its box and the arithmetic never knew. And a link typed by hand as russia into switzerland drew it that way round and said “0.00 times over”.

1.321.020 August 2026

How many times does Switzerland fit into the US

Somebody typed that into the box on 19 August and got nothing back. The query log kept the spelling, which is what the log is for, and this release is the answer: 238 times, with the two areas under it and the measure named, because a default nobody can see is a guess. The same question in about thirty other spellings, from “how many Switzerlands fit in the US” to “US ÷ Switzerland” to two emoji flags, all land on one reading.
The page had no idea how big anything was, so the tables arrived with it: every country by area, the first-order divisions of the nine countries large enough to be asked about, the planets, the mountains, the lakes and the rivers, and about thirty canonical sizes that are assumptions rather than measurements and print as such. A football field is 105 by 68 metres here, and any answer leaning on that says so underneath.
The same two nouns support six different questions and the difference is not decoration. How much bigger is a subtraction and how many times bigger is a ratio, and answering one with the other is a wrong answer in a convincing costume. Percent, fraction, share, both comparatives and a yes-or-no threshold each get their own sum.
Where two readings are defensible the page asks instead of guessing, with both answers already in the question: Georgia into Russia is 245 times for the country and 111 for the US state, and it says so rather than picking. Where the ratio falls below nine tenths it turns the question round rather than reporting “0.004 times”.
And it is drawn. A new figure puts one outline on the other at the same scale, under the answer and on a page of its own. Not on Mercator, which is the one projection that gets areas wrong and which every other size comparison uses: each shape is drawn in an equal-area projection about its own middle and then scaled to the area the tables hold, so the picture and the number cannot disagree.
1.317.0 through 1.320.0 are missing, and for a reason worth writing down. This release was built twice under names that had already gone out under other bytes, and both times the edge kept answering with what it had. A versioned file here is served immutable for a year, so the bytes behind a name that has gone out can never be corrected: that is the failure public/_headers was written around and the one thing it cannot undo. The rule that file states is the rule followed here. The only safe way to change what the site runs is to change the name, so the name was changed until it was one nothing had ever answered to, and left far enough clear that the next release written anywhere else cannot reach it either.
Two wrong answers went with it, both found while building the above. “1500 m2” was answering “Mon, 26 Jul 2151”, because the square had no digit form and the line fell through to the date parser. “100 tonnes in tons” was answering “100 tons”, a conversion that did nothing and looked like it had, because a ton was an alias of a tonne. Short and long tons are units of their own now, and a gallon, a cup and a gigabyte each say which one they meant.

1.316.120 August 2026

The drawing stops arguing with the answer

The compass under an answer printed its own sunrise and sunset times, a minute or two off the ones in the sentence above it, because the drawing runs a short series and the answer runs the real one. Of the two the answer is the one that is right, so under an answer the figure now says none of them. It keeps what it alone can say, which is the picture and where the sun stands. On its own page, where there is no answer to disagree with, it still reads the clock out.

1.316.020 August 2026

Shadows, and the sun drawn from above

how long is my shadow in london at 7pmnothing5.77 m in London
how tall is a tree with a 12 m shadow in zurich at 4pmnothing13.97 m tall
what sun angle makes a shadow twice the heightmakes a shadow twice the isn’t a place I know26.6° above the horizon
is the sun up in london at 7pmI don’t know what “at 7pm” means after Londonyes, the sun is 16.4° above the horizon in London
what angle should my solar panel be in zurichI don’t know what “should my panel be” means after Zurich47°, facing south
Shadows, both ways round and at whatever hour you name. How long yours is, or a tree’s, or the Eiffel Tower’s; how tall something is from the shadow you can pace out; which way a shadow falls; when it is shortest, when it is longest, when it matches the thing that throws it. Every one of them says the identity it used, height over the tangent of the sun’s angle, so the number can be checked rather than believed.
Whether the sun is up, and whether it is light, answered as a yes or a no with the fact that settles it and the hour it turns. Twilight is named as twilight rather than folded into either.
The sun against something that faces one way: a window, a wall, the windscreen you are driving into. A north-facing wall in Berlin gets the sun early and again late and nothing in between, and the answer says so in two stretches rather than one.
A new page at /compass. The same sun the ring at /sun draws edge on, drawn instead from straight above: its bearing, the whole day’s track across the card, the two points on the rim where it rises and sets, and the shadow anything standing there throws. It appears under an answer too, wherever the headline is a compass point, standing at the same place and the same minute the sentence above it names.
A place is answered in its own zone, summer time included, wherever that answer draws a card. A drawing that worked its clock out of a longitude would be an hour behind the sentence above it for half the year, which is fifteen degrees of bearing.
Pisa is a place the page knows, which the Leaning Tower needed: a landmark whose city is missing casts its shadow wherever the browser happens to be.

1.315.020 August 2026

The ring stands where it was told to stand

The last release said the ring under an answer stands at the moment the answer is about. It did not. The moment arrived, was written to the slider, and then the redraw read the number it had been standing at all along, so the drawing sat at sundown whatever the sentence above it said. Every answer about an instant was affected, the sun’s height and its bearing among them.
“is it dark in tashkent” never named its moment in the first place, so at ten at night it drew the sun on the western horizon and captioned it setting. It names one now, and the moment is now.
An answer about a whole day still names none, so “sunset in dublin” opens at sundown the way it always has.

1.314.019 August 2026

Where the sun is, and where the moon is

sun elevation zurich noonnothing56.7° above the horizon in Zurich
where does the sun rise in zurich todaynothingENE (59°), and it moves through the year
sunrise zurich in UTCzurich isn’t a place I know3:55 am in UTC
The page could say when the sun comes up and not how high it gets. It can now: the angle above the horizon and the bearing round the compass, at a place, at a moment, for the sun and for the moon. Asked in two words or in a sentence, and both give the same answer.
A place may now be a pair of coordinates, a pole, or one of the lines drawn round the globe. “sun angle at 47.37, 8.54” and “sun elevation at the north pole” both answer, and the equator says out loud that a parallel has no longitude.
The place slot used to run to the end of the line, so anything after a place was swallowed into its name and the name was blamed for not being one. Ten refusals go with that fix.
The three twilights answer to their own names, first light says it means civil dawn, and a moment with a convention behind it prints the convention the way the golden hour always has.
Shadows both ways, the tilt a solar panel wants, the dates a place sees the sun overhead, and the day that has no moonrise in it, which happens about once a month and is an answer rather than an error.
The ring drawn under an answer now stands at the moment the answer is about, so the height and the bearing on the drawing are the two numbers in the sentence above it.

1.313.019 August 2026

The last line of a no no longer says yes

Asked whether 135 is a triangular number, the page answered no, showed the two it falls between, said what the word means, and then closed with "135 · a triangular number". Every line but the last one was right. The last line is the one a reader's eye lands on, and read on its own it was the claim the first line had just refused. It now says "135 is not a triangular number", and on a yes it says the yes. The same closing line does the same work for a square, a cube and a power of a named base, including the two cases that answer without working out a root at all: no square number is negative, and no power of anything is below one.

1.312.019 August 2026

The board under an answer is the width of the board

With the hours running across, the board drawn under a conversion was held to the column of type it sits in, which is 672 pixels less what the two step chevrons take, and showed eight hours of a day. The same board on its own page steps outside that column and shows twenty-four. It steps out here now as well. Nothing above it moves when it does: the picture grows sideways out of a box that keeps its own width, and the answer, the controls, the line underneath and the list of past questions all stand where they stood.

1.311.019 August 2026

One bar, one line, and a bar under an answer at all

Moving the bar used to leave three lines where there had been one. Picking the bar up focuses it, a focused handle shows a ring, and a two-pixel ring held two pixels off a two-pixel bar is two more lines running the height of the picture. A ring is for somebody who arrived by keyboard, so the pointer no longer draws one, on the bar or on the picker beside it. Arrive by keyboard and the ring is still there, on the knob where the hours run across and round the bar itself where they run down.
The board drawn under a conversion had no bar on it at all. It is built one frame before its box is shown, and a board measured while it is hidden measures as nothing, so the bar went to the far left of the picture and stayed there behind the pinned names. It is measured again the moment the box has a size.
The hours are a picture and no longer select as text. A drag across the board used to leave a trail of highlighted cells behind the bar, and a double click picked a number out of a cell. The line worth copying is the one under the board, and that still selects.

1.310.019 August 2026

The bar across the board has something to take hold of

With the hours running across, the selected time is drawn two pixels wide until it is stretched into a meeting, and the two grips that stretch it are fourteen pixels each. They straddled its edges, so on any selection shorter than an hour they covered it from side to side: every drag made the time longer or shorter and none of them moved it. There is a knob at the head of the bar now, the same size whether the selection is an instant or four hours, and the grips start below it rather than over it. It is drawn as a wash with an outline rather than as a block, so the hour it stands on can still be read through it.

1.309.018 August 2026

The board under an answer keeps its controls

The board drawn under a conversion used to fold its bar away, on the reasoning that an answer is not a place to put controls. What that missed is which controls. The face being 12 or 24, the hours running down or across, and how long the selection runs are all about how the picture is drawn rather than about which board it is, so they stay, and so does the row that copies the line or saves it as a calendar file. Sending somebody to /time to read a board in 24-hour was sending them away from their answer to change the type on it. The day walk and the place picker are still over there, being the two that would change which board this is.
A link copied off a board under an answer now opens /time and carries its instant with it. The calculator keeps the question in the fragment, so a link back to it holding a board in that fragment arrived as a question it could not read.
The pages no longer scroll past their own edges. A page that fits the window still slid under a two-finger swipe on Apple browsers, which on a document with somewhere to go tells you which end you have reached, and on a calculator one screen tall looks like a page that has come loose. The board's own strip of hours no longer hands its scroll up to the page when it runs out either.

1.308.018 August 2026

One instant, read in several places at once

3pm tokyo in london7:00 am in London7:00 am in London · and a board of both days underneath it
A conversion answer now draws the whole shape of the two days under itself, not just the one converted time. Every column of it is the same instant and every row is one city's clock, so you can see at a glance which hours you could both be awake for, which is the question behind nearly every time conversion anybody types.
It has a page of its own at /time, where it comes with its controls: add places by name, drag the rows into order or sort them west to east, walk the days, and drag the bar into a meeting rather than a moment. The line underneath is the thing you came for, and it copies, links, and saves as a calendar file.
It knows the days that are not 24 hours long. On the morning a clock springs forward its row runs one o'clock straight to three, and on the morning it falls back it reads one o'clock twice, because both of those are what happened. London and New York are five hours apart for three weeks in March, and it shows five.
The place picker reads the same two tables the box above it reads, so "spb", "bombay", "eastern time" and "utc+5:30" all find what they find upstairs. Type a country that keeps several clocks and it offers them: the calculator has to answer "name a city" there, having nowhere in a sentence to put a list, and a picker has somewhere to put a list.
The board and its stylesheet arrive the first time an answer wants one and never for a reader who only converts currency, and the drawing waits a frame so the numbers never queue behind it.
Aug 17, 15:29 UTC to my timezonetoo many numbers in there11:29 am in New York
A timestamp with its date in front of the clock reads now, which is the order a log line, an email header and a calendar invite all write one in. The same words the other way round had always answered, so both halves were understood and only their order was not, and what came back instead was a complaint about the date on a question about the clock. Every date the calculator reads works there, because what counts as one is asked of the date reader rather than spelled out a second time.

1.306.017 August 2026

The tip leads with the tip

20% tip on $450540.00, the total90.00, the tip · the total right under it
A correction, from a user report. "20% tip on 450" asks what the tip is, and for a year this page answered 540 on the reasoning that the total is what goes on the slip -- true, and not the question. The tip is the headline now and the total rides beneath it, both numbers still always there. The service charge follows the same rule. The one order that keeps the total on top is the bill asking for itself: "450 with 20% tip" and "the total on a $450 bill with 20% tip" are the total by their own words.
The bill learned to wear its noun. "A 20% tip on a $450 bill", "tip 20% on a $450 check", "20% of a $450 restaurant bill" -- the symbol, the article and the noun fold away where the bill reader reads, so every grammar behind it sees the bare number it always wanted.
The rate can trail the bill ("what's the tip on a $450 bill at 20%?"), the gratuity answers by its polite name, and three more doors into the same sum: "how much should I tip on...", "I need to tip 20% on...", and the ask postposed after the sentence has said everything ("tip 20% on 450. how much?").
"Tip calculator: $450, 20%" is the one label that is the question: stripping it the way "Price:" comes off "Price: 6 times 5" would strip the meaning, so it becomes the bill reader's own word order instead. "If the bill is $450, what's a 20% tip?" reads the same way -- the condition names the bill.

The silence files itself

a query that got no answervanished with the tabfiled as homework, the text and nothing else
The page now reports the queries it could not answer, because they are the one thing its own tests cannot invent. A line counts as failed only by the page's own standard: it settled with no answer and no completion to finish it, and then it was given up on -- the box emptied, an Enter that got nothing back, the page left. A line still being typed has not finished failing, and a line edited into an answer is dropped, because the page was not the problem.
What travels is the spelling that failed, once per visit, in one beacon on the way out. No account, no IP address, no cookie, no session -- nothing that says who typed it is sent or stored, and the log forgets itself after ninety days. The about page now says all of this in one paragraph, which is the whole privacy policy because there is nothing else to disclose.
Two words the page acts on joined the words it can name: "clear", which empties a saved name and also asks how long a debt takes to pay down, and "vars", which lists what is saved. They were standing in the unnamed ledger with their readers right behind them, which is the one thing that ledger exists to catch.
And the test harness learned to ask a second step -- "15% of 80 then times 2" -- which the page cannot hear yet: nearly all of three thousand such chains go unanswered, and the handful that do answer do it by ignoring everything after the "then", which is worse. That number is now pinned in the suite as the next release's work, the way every sweep here has started.
Nothing about the answers has changed in this release.

The keystroke's budget

log bathe grey cost fifteen millisecondsthe same grey, under a millisecond warm
The grey completion stopped being the dearest thing a keystroke buys. Its candidate queries run with the typo bridge held shut, the same hold the suggestion list already keeps: a name built out of the page's own city list is not a misspelling, and recovering it as one asked every table for its nearest name up to a dozen times a letter.
A candidate judged once stays judged: whether a proposed line answers is remembered against the line itself, so the same candidates coming back keystroke after keystroke cost a lookup instead of a run of the whole grammar. Only the verdict is kept, never the answer, and the memory is dropped the moment the ground under it moves -- rates arriving, a variable set.
What is left runs against a deadline, two milliseconds of wall clock, so a phone is rationed as fairly as a desktop: fewer candidates in the time, not the same candidates slower. Anything the deadline cuts off is asked again whole on the pause, where nobody is waiting under a letter, and the grey arrives with the rest of the advice.
The grammar under all of it got quicker too, in three places that paid on every line: the readers' ranking is sorted once instead of once per asking, each reader's word lists are settled at registration instead of rebuilt per line, and a refusal strips the sentence front once for the four fallbacks that used to strip it for themselves.
And the idle warm-up the page runs before the first keystroke learned three more lines: the eclipse answer's shadow tables, and two half-typed prefixes that walk the completion's candidate paths cold, so the first letter typed pays for none of it. The suite now holds the keystroke to its budget by name, beside the eclipse test that already did.
twelve xor ten.nothing at all6
One grammar gap, found by the harness's own draw on the way: a spelled cardinal died on a full stop, because the fallback that writes the words as digits was the one still reading the raw line. It asks raw first and through the sentence front second, since the wrapping cuts both ways: "calculate five!" keeps its bang, and the bang is the factorial. That bang is the one mark this page reads two ways, so the factorial now says so on the answer -- "the ! read as a factorial, not the sentence's own" -- instead of assuming in silence.

1.304.017 August 2026

The pool curated

full moons in 2026answered by a typo recovery13 full moons
The completion pool's long-standing curation, done: every word with a reader behind it is registered where that reader is written -- the phase's moons, the triangle's right, the bearing's true, the money's cents and pence, the curve's z-score, the page's own ans -- thirty-two words named, and the words the page merely reads through (hello in morse, the hex literals, the names in front of colons) left unnamed on purpose, with the reason written beside the count.
Naming the words surfaced one quiet dependency: the phase's plural had been answered by the typo bridge folding "moons" to "moon" one edit at a time. The fold is a rewrite now, which is why "new moons in 2026" answers for the first time.

1.303.017 August 2026

The spoken cardinal's long tail

gcd of twelve and eighteennothing at all6
A number said in words now reads wherever a number typed in digits already did: seventeen mod five, ten choose three, hypotenuse when angle 30 opposite five, one cubic metre in litres, $twenty each for five people, ohms law 12v four ohms, neutrons in carbon fourteen. One mechanism rather than three hundred phrasings: over a silence, the spelled cardinals are written as the digits they say and the question is asked once more -- so every reader that wants the words, two chords, two people, the pizza's two 12 inch, has already been heard.
two o'clock as a bearingnothing at all60°
The paraphrase harness's forty thousand full-English sentences now pass whole: every axis at 100%, the held sample's unheard count at nought, where a ratchet keeps it.
gross equals what?nothing at all144
The counting words answer bare -- gross, great gross, score, dozen, ream, quire, the Greek ten thousand -- and "equals what" on the end of a line reads as the bare line's own tail, which gives "1 mile equals what" its conversion too.
And the page got quicker: what a word means is now looked up once per spelling instead of once per ask, the timezone probe keeps both of its answers, and the suggestion list stopped spending a typo recovery on candidates it built itself. A keystroke's suggestions cost about a quarter of what they did.

1.302.017 August 2026

The fronts still unheard

what is week 30?nothing at all4 days ago
The grammar sweep's own measure named two readers still being handed the raw line: the byte decoders and the calendar's fallbacks. Both read through the same front as everything else now, so "calculate 68 65 6C 6C 6F in text", "what is day length in london?" and "working days left this year in the us?" answer the way their bare forms always did.
what is 2nd full moon between june 2026 and august 2026?nothing at allMon, 29 Jun 2026 · 7:57 pm
The operation rewrites moved below the front strips, where a frame ahead of a participle can no longer poison the swap: "calculate 5 subtracted from 20" once read its verb into the subtrahend. Every axis of the paraphrase harness except the spoken cardinals now passes whole.

1.301.017 August 2026

The grammar sweep

what is the product of one-fifth and one-fifth?nothing at all0.04
A sweep that stops counting phrasings. Full English is a grammar, not a list: the question frames, the imperative verbs, the politeness, the operation nouns and participles, the spoken numbers, the punctuation, the lists and the dimensions each read once, above every reader, so a sentence never tried before works because the mechanism exists.
how many litres are needed to fill a pool 5 m by 3 m by 1.5 m?nothing at all22,500 litres
Measured, not asserted: a harness generates tens of thousands of full-English paraphrases of every question the page answers and holds the pass rate as a ratchet that only rises.

1.300.016 August 2026

The second lingo sweep

a fifth of a fifth0.151416 l0.04
A fifth sweep in the fourth one's spirit, 127 items: phrasings that went quiet while a sibling a few words away answered. The counting words, the ordinal roots, algebra asked backwards, the shop's marked-down and the restaurant's service charge, the 24-hour face asked for by name, and a which-is-bigger that names the margin.
how far apart are -3 and 9"-3 isn't a place I know"12
The wrong answers went first, as they always do: the liquor bottle had taken "a fifth of a fifth", the city reader had taken the number line, and a bare "1.5k" answered kelvin while "1.5k as a number" said nothing at all.

1.299.016 August 2026

The lingo sweep

the square root of 81nothing at all9
A fourth sweep, different in kind from the three before it: not missing subjects but missing ears. A hundred phrasings that went quiet while a sibling a few words away answered, widened one family at a time: the question shells around a sum, numbers and operators said aloud, the spoken clock, the hedges, and the sentence the fact arrives wrapped in.
0.375 in fraction form"there's no month 375"3/8
The wrong answers went first, as they always do: the worksheet's "in fraction form" was reaching the date parser, and the spoken names of years read as sums, so "twenty twenty six minus nineteen ninety" said -63 where it now says 36.

1.298.016 August 2026

The third hundred

4d6answered "Mon, 3 Aug 2026"4 to 24, averaging 14
A third sweep of typing at the shipped page and keeping what went quiet or came back wrong: a hundred more items. The wrong answers went first again, and again most were readers reaching for lines that were never theirs: dice notation read as a date, "doubled" handed to the calendar, 5!! computed as the factorial of a factorial, a cube denied its diagonal and an ellipse its perimeter, and the alphabet counted as the eleven letters of its own name.
molar mass of caffeinenothing at all194.194 g/mol, summed from the table
The one fixed table the page never took: the periodic table, with molar masses summed from any typed formula, moles turned to grams, molarity, dilution and pH, every figure IUPAC's and none of them able to go stale.
The classroom's leftover formulas and the sky's fixed distances: the pendulum, the photon, decibels that add as powers, the humidex beside the wind chill, the standard atmosphere's speed of sound, the planets by their orbital ranges and the nearest stars by figures that will outlive the site.
The electronics bench, the workshop's rulebook tables and the house's own sums: dividers, colour codes, tap drills, penny nails, the pool in litres and the rain at a litre per millimetre per square metre. Chance stayed counted and never rolled: a coin flip refuses with the reason, and Monty Hall answers with the count that has never moved.
And the sweep's standing lesson, third time round: the reader usually exists and the phrasing is the gap. The un-split tip, the bare pace, the mortgage without its "for", the week number with its "of", and "easter next year" all joined readers that had been answering their longer spellings for releases.

1.297.015 August 2026

The second hundred

angular size of 1 m at 100 manswered for something a million across0.573°
A second sweep of typing at the shipped page and keeping what went quiet or came back wrong: a hundred more items. The wrong answers went first, and most of them were readers reaching for lines that were never theirs: a metre read as a million, a restaurant bill read as a date, "christmas in tokyo time" answering about today, and a coordinate read as a town. A far day now refuses to pretend it is a clock, and the word "points" is graph paper without the brackets.
watts from 12v and 2anothing at all24 watts, with the ohms beside it
The classroom formulas: Ohm's law completed so any two of volts, amps, ohms and watts give the other two, series resistors beside the parallel pair, a wave's frequency and period both ways, free fall timed and its landing named, half-life as the fraction it leaves, decibels as the ratios they abbreviate, the lightning counted at the speed sound crawls, pH as the minus logarithm it is, and c1v1 = c2v2 solved for whichever of the four was not typed.
day length on venusvenus isn't a place I know243 Earth days, longer than its year
The planets arrived as the fixed tables they are: surface gravity, weight elsewhere at the mass you typed, escape velocities, years and days, and an age on Mars counted through the same date engine as an age here. The round earth came with them: the horizon from any height, the curvature drop with the surveyor's eight-inch rule beside the exact parabola, degrees of latitude and longitude, the boiling point at altitude, and 0 to 60 in 5 seconds read as the acceleration it brags about.
tax on 50 at 8.25%nothing at all54.13, the rate always typed
Money arithmetic in every word order it is asked in: taxes five ways round, VAT removed only when the rate is said and refused with the reason when it is not, discounts stacked by multiplying with the not-30% named, net from a flat typed rate and never a bracket table, margin against markup at one figure, break-even, salary both ways with time and a half, rent prorated on the real month, the biweekly year's 26-or-27, and the mint's fixed ladder making change largest note first.
5 workers 12 days how many for 4 workersnothing at all15 days: fewer hands, more time
Maths said the schoolroom's way: the spelled-out divisor and multiple, "modulo" in full, the textbook's 1+2+3+...+n read off its own dots, ratios simplified and shared out, the rule of three and its upside-down twin, the missing solids and the sector, polygon sums and diagonals, ordinals in figures and words, Roman numerals doing arithmetic between two readers that always existed one at a time, the ladder of big-number names, and root two to as many places as pi.
blood pressure 120/80nothing at allstage 1 by the chart's own letter, the famous boundary named
The body's numbers with every fit named as one: glucose between its two units by its own molar factor, the pressure bands, Mosteller's surface area, the gym's one-rep fits with both authors cited, the training zones with Karvonen when a resting rate is typed, sleep in 90-minute conventions, and the dog's clock run backwards with the cat's beside it. Chance stayed counted rather than simulated: dice, the lottery's one binomial, and the five-card table.
55 inch tv dimensionsnothing at all47.9 × 27 inches, the shape assumed and said
Screens and pictures: a diagonal and a ratio make a rectangle, a resolution over inches makes a density, prints size themselves at a typed dpi, f-stops climb their root-two ladder, a crop factor multiplies, bitrate times time is a file with the CD fixed at its 1,411.2, all 88 keys of the tuned scale answer by name, a beat converts to milliseconds, and the character tables answer for ASCII, Unicode, HSL and the alpha byte an opacity becomes.
fence posts for 100 ft at 8 ft spacingnothing at all14 posts, both ends counted
And the everyday: anniversaries and birth flowers from their fixed lists, centuries with the off-by-one settled, the fields of play at their rulebook sizes, shoe and ring sizes in the directions that were missing, Saffir-Simpson and Richter beside the Beaufort that was already here, trips priced from typed numbers only, and the builder's quantities with the waste margin named rather than hidden.

The questions beside the questions

5/16 inch in mmread as the 16th of May 20167.9375 mm
A hundred and some ways of asking that were a word away from ones this page already answered, found by typing at it the way its readers do and keeping everything that went quiet. The wrong answers went first: a fraction of an inch is a drill bit and not a date, "leap years until 2030" counts from today and not from the year nought, a height leads with feet and inches rather than miles, and "double 2/3 cup" is a recipe rather than one and a third Cuban pesos.
double 2/3 cup1.33 CUP, the Cuban peso1 1/3 cup, with the millilitres underneath
The units people are actually holding: micrograms as a label prints them, microns and nanometres, the fathom, the nautical mile behind a number, the light year and the astronomical unit with their spaces in, the imperial pint and its ladder said in words, oz read as fluid ounces whenever a volume stands on the other side, and a marathon as the length it was fixed at in 1921, so "10k in miles" answers off the bib instead of lecturing about kelvin. The wire gauge arrived as the 1857 ladder it is, and ten litres over a 500 ml bottle is a count of bottles at last.
six feet in cmnothing at all182.88 cm
The numbers said as words reached the converters: "six feet", "fifty euros", "forty two plus eight", "three quarters plus a half", "12 and a half stone in kg", and the mixed numbers a recipe adds up. "One point five" stays a decimal being spoken and the nine point circle keeps its name, which is the kind of line this work is mostly made of.
price before discount if 60 after 25% offnothing at all80, and why it is not 75
The percent family filled out: the % sign in the spoken forms, "of what number", discount as an instruction, the price run backwards the way VAT always ran, up 20% then down 20% with the not-a-wash said, rises by a third, the percentage-point difference beside the percent one, and the shopkeeper's square of cost, price, markup and margin with both readings named so the confusion has nowhere to sit. The tip answers per head, a split takes its count in words, a raise reads both ways it is talked about, overtime knows time and a half, pay converts to biweekly, "bought at 30000 sold at 42000" answers the way traders ask, the 4% and 50/30/20 rules answer under their household names, and half the mortgage payment every two weeks says what the thirteenth payment buys.
3² + 4²nothing at all25
The page can read what it prints: the Unicode superscripts its own answers have always carried, and sin⁻¹ with the raised minus-one welded on. Maths said aloud joined it: "factorial of", "absolute value of" and the bars themselves, "root 2" and the 4th root, phi, "to 2 decimal places", the remainder and quotient by name, a quadratic by its coefficients or its roots, and the two-point homework of slope, midpoint, distance and the line through. The closed-form sums answer with their formulas shown, the first ten Fibonacci numbers arrive as the list they are, and arithmetic on angles landed, where two angles multiplied answer honestly in square degrees.
z score of 130 mean 100 sd 15nothing at all2, with the percentile under it
The normal curve at one place: z-scores, percentiles, and the IQ question that is the same curve with its numbers filled in by convention. Quartiles came out from inside the iqr that always computed them, everyday chance answers over the dice everybody owns, the birthday paradox names its famous crossing point, and the grade needed on the final answers plain or weighted, with the counting-like-one-more-test assumption said.
next payday if paid on the 25thnothing at allthe day, with the weekend rolled to the Friday before
Dates asked other ways: today with its plus said aloud, two Fridays from now, one week from Tuesday, every other Friday, the next leap day as the day it is, business days added bare, whether Christmas is a weekend, days until a bare birthday, and Whit Monday beside the Pentecost it follows. Lunar New Year keeps its standing refusal, for the standing reason, and the refusal now points at the door.
best time to call tokyo from londonnothing at allno shared nine-to-five, and which ends stretch
The clocks widened: the call window intersects nine-to-five across two cities with the assumption named, "half nine in london" reads the way every other clock here reads, 1500 hours converts in front of a place, zulu answers to its name, military time answers in both spellings, daylight saving takes its long name and a year, and golden hour takes "tomorrow". The sun answers "is it daytime", "length of day", and the earliest sunset "of the year".
300 km at 100 km/hnothing at all3 hours
The speed triangle got its missing legs, a speed turns into a pace and back, "pace for a 25 minute 5k" answers beside the marathon that always did, steps convert at a stated stride, the walk at a stated 5 km/h, the journey prices its fuel, batteries answer in hours and watt-hours at a nominal said to be one, Ohm's law and parallel resistors answer, charging costs and takes and a bulb's day is counted, and a wavelength answers as sound below the top of hearing and as radio above it.
excel column 28nothing at allAB, and why Z is followed by AA
The eternal tables: Excel columns both ways, morse and the NATO alphabet with the treaty's deliberate misspellings noted, colours between rgb and hex, the tuned scale at A4 = 440 with semitones counted, beats and bars at a tempo, Beaufort's 1946 fixing both ways, the shoe ladders said to be nominal, star signs and the Chinese wheel and the 1912 birthstones and the Victorian anniversaries, wind chill and heat index and dew point by their published formulas with their limits named, and the log scales translated with both readings carried, power against amplitude, shaking against energy.
12 inch pizza vs two 8 inchnothing at allthe 12 inch, by 13%
And the small readers that finish it: reading, speaking and typing at stated rates, pages at three hundred words each, letters counted unless the thing measured is a thing the converter can name, the screen by its marketing name with its density and true sides, paper at a stated dpi, BMR by Mifflin-St Jeor, the heart-rate rule of thumb called one, dog years by the 2019 fit with the folklore seven printed beside it, the fan oven's twenty degrees, recipes scaled by servings or halved through a sentence, the due date joined at conception and ovulation's fourteenth day, and one big pizza against two small ones, where area goes as the square and the verdict is said plainly.
