| Apr 22, 2014 at 5:12 | comment | added | naught101 | How would we go about dealing with such a problem after it has become a problem? Also, all of the information in the question is in the provided image(s). How can that be improved upon (aside from uploading better images)? The user fundamentally doesn't know anything more about the question (other than, perhaps, where they found the rock). | |
