Unless you can get inside my head it's probably this must be quite tricky , but who knows...
r/ri=p-v+i² (11)
Hint 1: R is in ohms, i is in amps and v is in volts.
Hint 2: Transistors, resistors, capacitors they are all part of this.
The answer was electronics

The FSOW Score program reports 11B, 0W, well done you got the correct answer!
Did the last hint give it away?

Well kind of, since it had to to with electrical components i came to electricity which didn't fit but electronics did the job

That was quick! Well done, I thought that would take a while.

Nice clue - is it one of your own ?

Thanks and yes, all the product of my own fevered imagination!

Is there an explanation. Apart from Royal, I'm lost
|
|
|
|

Majestic = Royal
Song = Air
For church = For Ce ( Church Of England )
Service = Royal Air Force

Thanks. A bit cryptic for us non English people.

Fair point. Having grown up on British crosswords, I'm rather used to using standard codes like CE for church, ER for queen etc. that on reflection, probably don't mean much to the rest of the world.
Apologies for that - I shall attempt to be less localised in future.

Air is universally recognized as a song or tune in crosswords "Air on a G String" , so that would have given you Royal Air and I'm sure you would have got it then.

For = For

I'm still a newbie coder so I don't really have a full perspective on the industry yet. What exactly are these sites like HackerRank, and Sphere Online Judge for in the scope of the industry and does everyone use them? Do most professional developers participate in these types of algorithm competition and ranks or is it mainly a niche crowd?
I ask because while I am new and have mainly been focusing on my lessons, textbooks, and creating applications of my own, there is an appeal to these sites as well... But I have a hard time sticking with them because it is more appealing to me to create a product that does something as opposed to figuring out how many tree branches it would take to build the Great Wall of China and etc... And I tend to base most of my work around producing a product or gaining skills and education that will allow me to produce a product (I want to be a professional soon).
However, I do understand that in the course of big applications, algorithms like this are needed to solve problems and these sites must exercise the portion of the brain that is needed to create solutions that solve these problems. What is the general consensus on these "hacker games"/puzzles types of websites? Should I participate? Why or why not?

why worries, just do for fun

I doubt that any potential employer would be impressed that you take part, so if you want to do it for fun, go ahead.

Some people like puzzles generally - hence the popularity of the CCC and FSOW of the day here as well.
Others don't. :shrug:
And there are some who think that "I am n-th on this coding puzzle site" will impress interviewers (it won't), so they post "help me solve this" in QA...
Will they help you get a job? No, probably not directly. Will they make you think about algorithms, analyse problems, and generally make you a better coder? Maybe, a little. They are generally byte size problems that need a reasonable amount of thinking about - which is generally the same kind of situation as you do get in "programming tests" in interviews: so there may be some point to trying some of them just to "get used" to the situation.
If you enjoy them, do them. If you don't, don't. It probably won't make any difference to your career either way!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

You will get a great deal more benefit doing exactly what you are doing, creating stuff and exploring the languages/frameworks.
If you find doing puzzles entertaining then you will get some value from them, entertainment value! Personally I have enough puzzles deciphering my users requirements and converting that into a solution!
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity
