I cast the first reopen vote. Here are some things I was thinking about that led me to do so:
- I think it's most definitely not "difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form." So closing it as "not a real question" is inappropriate. If it were closed as off-topic [edit:] or subjective/argumentative, I might have thought a bit more about it.
- I think it's absurd to close a question because it hits a certain number of answers. That's not a listed reason to close and I cannot fathom how that makes sense.
- I think the question was generating some interesting mathematical content, even if there was a good bit of noise.
