A quick cross word puzzle

$begingroup$


This puzzle took me less than five minutes to compose. With luck it will take you about the same time to solve.



cp



dt



ts



Instructions



Find two letters that, added to the above three pairs of letters, make three cross words.



You can move the above letters apart if necessary in a horizontal direction but you must not change their order or orientation.



The added pair of letters is the same in each case and stays in the same order.



What are the three words?



Please make sure that they are cross words, not just any old set of words.

Are the three words:




crap, drat, and rats? By adding ra, you get words that are spoken when one is cross.

Just to be creative/contrary, here's a second equally valid solution:




letters A,R




Giving




CARP : to complain in a cross manner
DART : a projectile whose tail ('flight') is cross-shaped
ARTS : the main cross-disciplinary faculty in university




"Please make sure that they are cross words, not just any old set of words."



They bloody well are cross words :)

    That's a good one +1. I think cross-discipline might be stretching it a little (?). I's interesting that you still used the letters A R. I wonder if any others are possible even for words that aren't 'cross'.

Just to be creative/contrary, here's a second equally valid solution:




letters A,R




Giving




CARP : to complain in a cross manner
DART : a projectile whose tail ('flight') is cross-shaped
ARTS : the main cross-disciplinary faculty in university




"Please make sure that they are cross words, not just any old set of words."

How to label and detect the document text images

Image
1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...

Tabula Rosettana

Image
Tabula multilinguis Rosettana in Museo Britannico ostenditur. Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica. Qua a Britannis mox debellata, tabula Rosettana Londinium missa hodie apud Museum Britannicum iacet. Textus Graecus cito lectus interpretationi textuum Aegyptiorum (in formis hieroglyphica et demotica expressorum) gradatim adiuvit. Denique textum plene interpretatus est Ioannes Franciscus Champollion. Ab opere eruditorum cumulativo coepit hodiernus scripturae hieroglyphicae linguaeque Aegyptiae a...
