A homogenous mixture, of two or more substances. At least, that's what they taught me in chemistry.

Yeah, I know.....not much help.

But welcome to the forum.

Whiskey is a solution to most problems.

Whiskey is a solution to most problems.

Whiskey is definitely a solution of water, alcohol and various fusel oils.

It is only a solution to "human" problems.

This puts me at an awkward loss of smilies.

Is it 'of' or 'for' ? Words would be "for" I think. Any grammatical rule for smilies?

wtf????

Click on the "MEMBERS" button at the top of the page, and you will see a category for "Most Solutions". I don't have any idea what it is.

Well, assuming you can see some kind of checkbox by his post, which answers your question, more or less, you can promote @loggerhead12 to the rank of Multi-Solution Wizard.

No checkbox. Torture.

It seems to be broken. Its not listed in the statistics of my personal listing but is listed under the webpage that lists all members and its pull-down menu for "Most solutions". As far as identifying a response as a solution to my post's question? I looked at a post I posted and saw nothing allowing me to identify a post as a solution to the post's question.
