*not sure if this counts as a real puzzle, but I will ask it anyways.




Can you catch the difference between the 2 following letters?

Well,




the second is an ordinary lower case letter 'x', while the first is at Unicode code point 1093 decimal = 0x445. The surrounding Unicode code points yield what look to me like Cyrillic characters, so I guess that's what this one is; I think this letter is pronounced like a Scottish "ch", and is related e.g. to the Greek letter chi.




No online tools used; I




pasted the characters into a Python session and used its chr and ord functions.

    @qq410219243 Well, how do you expect people to figure it out then? In the font used here, those two characters look exactly the same - and if you're not allowed to distinguish them using any tools, then there's literally no way to tell them apart.

    I agree with @Deusovi. I mean, you can do the same using tools built into the web browser, but I don't see any reason to regard that as more or less cheaty than doing it with Python. If all we're allowed to do is look with our eyes, then the answer is: No, we can't tell the difference.

Easy way (though not sure if "allowed"):




Paste into start menu. First x will show no results (or Greek stuff if you have it). Second x will show normal results matching x

            A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

            Image
            0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{...
