Gil, this is not a very good riddle, in the sense that after seeing the solution, I am still vastly unsatisfied. And I think that the first “N” is rendered as an “M” above. And I “U”s are rendered in a very unsatisfactory way.
Its aperiodic function : F( x +t) = F(x) => got some time period// and then a ball bounces on it -> almost an elastic ball -> disturbing the wavelength/frequency of the oscillations => i.e reduces the wavelength/frequency and time period of oscillations …making it ALMOST periodic
finally the equilibrium state is achieved and … life goes on
The mouth of a confused furry monster?
The minimum of one hint was a requirement for me. Thankfully, it was also sufficient.
An untamed mustache?
A rocky Martian landscape (featuring Phobos and Deimos)?
A piecewise linear function (with two designated local maxima)?
A crowd?
Dear Tselil, John, Rani and Anon, nice solutions, thanks. I will post the intended solution on Sunday.
A biting vagina, interpolated by a piecewise linear function?

Talk about the serrated edge of Occam’s razor…
Be honest. You created this riddle by just looking at the whiteboard of a very confusing collegue 😉
Gil, thanks. The hint worked for me.
