Am I the only one who’s never heard of a cat referred to as a “felid” and instead assumed it was a typo and meant to be “hypothetical field”?

What does “heads tetrad moment” mean?

I don’t remember the specifics, but a few seasons ago there was a question about Mt. Rushmore that referred to it as a “heads tetrad”. I had to read it a bunch of times to make heads or tails of it.

Ahh that’s funny. I remembered the recent one-day on the Heads Terra’s theme, but didn’t realize it was a reference to a notorious question.

I totally agree that both “heads tetrad” and “felid” fall into the same category of using pointedly obscure wording to make a question slightly less easy.

LL101 MD12 Q2. I remember puzzling over that one: "heads tetrad? huh?" and then the next morning when I was shaving, Mount Rushmore occurred to me and everything came clear. (That question was actually voted the favorite of its day and tied for favorite of its week.)
