Maybe "Which question is solved by E?" or "How many questions are solved by E?" - another way would be "Which question has E as its correct answer? // Which question is answered by E?" or "How many questions are answered by E?"

I personally like the solved wording.

Also another vote for clearer colors about possibility state - for example, the cells are marked green if that specific answer is internally consistent, but it can still be an incorrect solution overall, which means you did not get the correct answer whatsoever.

I think people (myself included) have been trained to think green = good, meaning that answer is correct and shouldn't be moved, you found that one, now work on the others - so an intermediary color as mentioned, like yellow, meaning 'yep that's plausible but not necessarily right' would be a good fit there.

Re:Ask HN: What is something you built but never marketed? on Sunday August 14, 2022 @10:29AM (#32459531)
A chat service with extension to overlay anonymous chat functions on any website, with rooms grouped by url. All JS.

Also a peer to peer parking spot rental platform a la Airbnb. JS with a python backend.

A gamified voter registration Facebook app. Rails backend.

Not that I didn’t think I would market them, at the time I built them I was just unaware of how to effectively, and I have newer projects since.

Love the app, seems nicely functional - as feedback/bug report?, it doesn't look like the "Sex" filter works, at least not for the "Explore" mode.
For those interested in the collapse, I saw this live and it was fantastic:

I'm actually alpha testing a more comprehensive chat service for chrome as we speak. If you're interested, shoot me an email at [email protected] - I'd be happy for the feedback.
