The Battle of Devil's Hole was fought near Niagara Gorge in present-day New York state on September 14, 1763, between a detachment of the British 80th Regiment of Light Armed Foot and about 300 Seneca warriors during Pontiac's Rebellion (1763–1766). The Seneca warriors killed 81 British soldiers and wounded 8 before the British managed to retreat.
As early as 1757, Seneca in the Niagara Falls area had complained to the French about losing control of the long portage along an area of the Niagara River, which French traders were trying to improve for wagons.[2] They resented the Europeans trying to take over their traditional territory and displace them from their work.
After the Seven Years' War, the British took over this area near the Great Lakes. John Stedman improved the former portage trail so that it could accommodate oxen and wagons, and hired teams and escorts to carry goods through. Formerly up to 300 Seneca men had worked as porters on what they thought of as their portage.
Discontent rose among many Native American tribes in the Great Lakes area, who wanted to get rid of the British colonists before more encroached on their lands. In Pontiac's Rebellion, beginning in 1763, several tribes in the Great Lakes and Northwest area cooperated in rising up against the British.
On September 14, 1763, a large Seneca band of an estimated 300–500 warriors ambushed a wagon train and its armed escort en route from Fort Schlosser to Fort Niagara as it passed through Devil's Hole, an area known for its difficult terrain. One part of the trail was in a heavily wooded area with a deep ravine on either side; there the Seneca warriors attacked the wagon train. The escort party and teamsters, led by Porter Master John Stedman, were caught completely by surprise; animals broke into a stampede or were driven into the ravine along with their wagons and drivers. The Seneca moved in to fight at close quarters, making musket fire useless, and only three of the party of 24 (including Stedman) managed to escape to Fort Schlosser for help.
Camped nearby at Lewiston was a detachment of the British British 80th Regiment of Light Armed Foot from Fort Gray. Two companies of the 80th commanded by George Campbell and William Fraser heard the news of the ambush and rushed off to help the wagon train.
From a brush-covered hill commanding the trail, Seneca warriors attacked the soldiers about one mile from the wagon train. Once the British companies began to retreat, the Seneca moved to cut them off from the fort and killed "more than 80 soldiers." The soldiers suffered a loss of 81 dead and 8 wounded before withdrawing (some sources claim the entire rescue party was killed). The Anglo-Americans called it "The Devil's Hole Massacre". The warrior Dekanandi later told Sir William Johnson that 309 warriors attacked the British and their only loss was one man wounded.

Previous answer
The left side of the equation is divisible by 9 so the right side is too. It follows that the sum of the digits on the right side is divisible by 9, so a is 8, which gives t a value of 4.

We have a crystal lattice whose "atoms" are joined in ten rows of 3 atoms each. Select thirteen integers, of which twelve are different, and place them in the "atoms" so that each row totals 20. (The smallest number needed is 1, the largest 15.

All of you are excellent posters and great people, and yes I will continue to be nice to everyone. The kind words will continue until morale improves. I will do this no matter how many decry it. :posting:
But if I WERE to do an insult, I'd say this:

Some of y'all don't use a keyboard and mouse for games that would work better with a controller, and it shows.
Anyways, added a few more names to the mass ping; mostly people I've seen around the megathread pretty often. Is that cool?

Yep, I can confirm you were first, so put that down.

Oh no, I've finally been pinged at the opening of a megathread. I think this means I have to touch grass now. Anyway keep up the good work comrade, love your posts. Such a shame the Pontiac revolt has become "legendary" in the sense that nowadays all it signifies is a failed car company.
Yeah, it's depressing how many wiped out groups of indigenous peoples are now either cars or the military hardware of the same government that did the killing on them.
My favorite is the Jeep Cherokee, since the Cherokee tribe keeps being like "what the fuck, can you stop naming a car after our tribe" and Jeep keeps on being like "uh no, your culture is our #brand."
Imagine the insult of a shitty jeep brand being compared to your people's culture
Hellworld vibes for sure

I finally made it to the ping. A lifetime of praxis -- of blood, sweat, and tears -- has culminated in this glorious moment, the final victory of the people over capitalism. It's over, comrades. We won!
