I think it started as just writing "XXX" at the bottom of the page,
but someone noticed that XXX was Roman Numeral for thirty.
A Google search for something like:
thirty newspaper "end of an article"
should do ya.

Would you accept the 1959 movie "-30-" starring Jack
Webb as the editor of a newspaper? IIRC, instead of
the movie ending with "The End", it ends with Webb
scrawling -30- at the end of an editorial.

No and no. Say, I don't think I've ever seen an
acknowledgement of a correct answer. How do we know
when someone gets one right? Maybe I've just missed

Max, I do not have the answers for these puzzles. The puzzles
are sent to me by people and they ask if I can help solve them.

And here I was thinking 'number of {twos|threes} in a set of dominoes". :)
(Assuming, of course, a "normal" double-six set, that is.)

FM can't be females, so this is probably wrong

I don't think so; at least not if it's in Alaska.
The coldest temperature ever is sure to be a winter temperature...
And I dare say it's colder in the summer in Antarctica.

That's clearly an imperial pint rather than the watered-down
American one, which weighs a pound... hence the origin must be
Britain. As for pronunciation, in an English restaurant I asked
for a glass of "waht@r" using my normal flat American accent
including the schwa in the final syllable and the usual guttural
Amercan 'r', and got a blank stare from the waitress who couldn't
fathom what I was asking for. Our American hostess, who had been
in-country longer, corrected it to "woe-tah", which would rhyme
well in the doggerel above.

Well, water - quarter - oughta all rhyme in my northern English accent, and in
my father's South Walian one (who taught his family this rhyme when we were
little). Other than that, I cannot say.

My accent is anything but Bostonian (I'm more or less non-rhotic RP*),
but it rhymes when I say it: wo(r)tuh, kwo(r)tuh, o(r)tuh.
A version I read in an old Robert Heinlein story is, "A pint's a pound
the world round" - clearly only partially true even when declaimed in
the US.

Just kidding - you would need to add a nought or two for that one to be

Two quick questions: (1) Is the + correct, or a typo (2) Are these puzzles

I've known + as a typo.

the probability of an event happening and + is the probability of an event
not happening."
