this is what I was going to say. in fact it's the same principle in real life, if you are polite with people they will be polite back. The LLM has just learned statistically that blocks of text with polite language generally continues.
Re:The rule says, “No vehicles in the park”

Additional suggestions that i think would make the game better/harder because the answer distribution is currently pretty skewed and many of your options are just clearly not covered by the rule (though all respect to rule sticklers, general contrarians, and everythings-a-vehicle hipsters):
construction equipment for park improvements (backhoe, etc)
gas powered moped
electric moped
gas powered rc car
4-wheeler/atv/dune buggy
golf cart
segway/monowheel
antique cars for some kind of demo/event
shriner guys in those mini cars in a local parade (at least i think most americans know what i'm talking about)
anti-drunk driving display (they have these sometimes at colleges, and maybe high schools, but it's basically a wrecked car and there are police there to do pr)
Note: i think many of your options are just clearly not covered by the rule, maybe keep some of them but not so many?

I am interested in this, but already confused on page 1. The book describes a bank needing to borrow swiss francs, but that doesn't make sense to me. Why not just borrow the money in their native currency? Does the book ever go into this?

I agree, one time I had know idea what this young "tree" was, it looked like an ash sapling, but it was a flowering poison ivy. Couldn't see the classic poison ivy "thumbs" either. Something like this: https://www.maine.gov/dacf/php/gotpests/weeds/images/poison-...

I got all of them right up to like 30 of them. But can we discuss something? none of the look-a-likes were the hardest one, at least in my neck of the woods. Box elder saplings. That's all, I just find it odd that so many of these poison ivy things don't include more of it. Maybe the author's don't live in Box elder zones.

It was 70-80 years ago and you were off by about 2 years. Inconsequential.
It makes zero difference to the meat of the story exactly how man Migs were shot down. The precise number is not the story.
You didn't say 'some guy' you said 'a guy', which has a different connotation.

The amount of someone's taxes isn't listed in Twitter's privacy policy. Whereas, phone numbers and email addresses are explicityly listed. The policy also makes clear its most important logic:
"Our primary aim is to protect individuals from coming to physical harm as a result of their information being shared ..."

My point is that that is not the reason for the account suspension. Twitter's policy is very clear and equally enforced! Here is a short video from a reporter that got a suspension for posting private info in a news article, and had to delete the post before getting unsuspended:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loylqtvKAbU
It would seem to make this case very clear. Right?

"7. Twitter’s decision was, at least, more clearly explained. The site has rules against publishing hacked information, it’s used these rules to ban links before, and copying personal files from a laptop without permission — if that’s indeed how they were obtained — arguably falls under them. Twitter later elaborated on its decision, saying the Post story included “personal and private information — like email addresses and phone numbers — which violate our rules.”

Wasn't this all about the publishing of Hunter Biden's personal information? A violation of Twitter's privacy policy, that they have always enforced. And yes, they have enforced it against journalists posting newsworthy information deleterious to Trump.
"Twitter also said the Post article contained images that included personal and private information such as email addresses and phone numbers, which is against the social network's rules. "
Weird seeing disinfo get upvoted on Hacker News of all places.
