Maybe some of the 100% happen to look up some of the answers?, or maybe they are just clever. I avoid looking anything up, which is why I am not 100%, and I am certainly not that clever.

The number of people scoring 100% is creeping up - about time we had some harder questions !!

That one gave itself away with the date

Anything Royal has to be at the top!

I was doing so well, then a sailing ship question gets me again.
I know nothing about these ships/boats. Whether they be big ones or small ones.
So I take a stab at a answer and get it wrong.
It's like the question master knows I am doing well then slips in a sailng question and tricks me.
Damm.

No Pat, You are right. Look at the number of 100% correct answers now compared to a couple of months ago. There was only 2 or 3 100% correct then

Is it me or are these questions getting so easy a boy scout or indeed a girl scout could answer them ???

Yes me too! Maybe I was still asleep this morning!

Accidentally tapped the button on an easy question, 30 days of punishment

Another repeat today, 11.6.26 🙄
BTW: Today is the ***th anniversary of the incident 😉

Hi Stephen, I did some extra looking and found that I have to click on Private messages, on the left and that opens access and then works as you say.
Thanks for your reply.
Roy

@roycv you should be able to simply click on the messages that show unread, might need to scroll down to see unread older ones if you have quite a few private messages.

Stephen

Hi Steven I have 2 private messages but how do I open them? Also there are several messages with a single line and some dots. How do I look at the full message?
Roy

Thanks Steve, looks like Admin needs to restore my silver membership -then I'll be able!

Hi Tony,

Just quickly, I see you should be Silver. Got a feeling I know what’s happened. Not your fault. Once I’m home later I’ll restore your membership. No need to do anything.

Thanks,
Stephen

Sorry Tony the silver member icon did not appear on your avatar on my laptop.
Truly humbled am I!
Roy

@TonyAsh Hi Tony. You can access past questions in the new system. It is not obvious. There is a previous button at the top. I have done it and did work.

@TonyAsh I just tried by clicking previous at the top of question of the day and it works with no issues
On my avatar there is a bronze badge, there is nothing on yours so check your subscription status

I'm plenty coughed up! I'm a silver! In the past you could access past questions but not now it appears?

@TonyAsh I think you have to cough up to be a Bronze member for 'privileges'.
Roy

Why can't you access past questions??

Wharf.. Is actually an acronym WareHouse At River Frontage. An abbreviation used on maps to squeeze in a description.
It became an easy reference to the facility.

We call the mizzenmast a cross mast!
See you soon, Landlubber Mike

re word of day can't the clues be be removed

Thought that was a sword (Game of Thrones)

I tapped VIEW RESULTS in the upper right corner and it came back

Ok Gents:
You're going to think I'm nuts or at least slacking off, but where is the question?

So Doug

I can see they didn't have to replace your funny bone😁

@roycv Funny! I thought Friday was stuck on a Caribbean Island with Crusoe!🤔
What was he doing trolling about in the Himalayas??😉

😎

the question about a narrow passage of water fooled me must have had a dim moment flopped on that on

Johnny Horton song




SINK THE BISMARCK

First lines of the song

IN MAY OF 1941 THE WAR HAD JUST BEGUN
THE GERMANS HAD THE BIGGEST SHIP. IT HAD THE BIGGEST GUNS

@RossM
You piqued my curiosity! Johnny who?🤔
😎

My money is on when did they conquer Everest for Friday.
Roy

I am afraid to ask what the QOD for June 6th will be

I wondered if this might be the question for today as it is again an anniversary.

Roy

That is a very topical question,as the anniversary is today 24th. May.
Roy

Ok How many of you heard the first line of Johnny Horton's song playing in their head?

Or perhaps part nearest the accident.
Roy

@RossM Or 'Sharp end'? 😮😕

MAY 22, No choice named THE POINTY END?!?

Scoring fixed 👍

Perhaps its drunk with power thats why its got a hiccup
Philuk👍

scoring has a hiccup. it is posting results totalling 31 days

Well today was easy wish they were all like that

Well, my 404 error messages just stopped and "permission to come aboard sir."
Happy to be back!
😀

@RonH I agree it was brilliant as it was this comes up sometimes up with all sorts of messages change is good if for reason if just for change sake seems daft a poll would have been good

Took a bit of doing but got there today bit silly but i got it, i think a i is taking the wiss it goes with silly look of the site in general how old are we all, are they trying to attract young kids on site? Still not sure but all the bits ate here whete the score athe the bottom so we know what we have missed.

@SouthportPat: I agree with you Pat. However it could be the Ai lulling us into a false sense of security before increasing the complexity of the questions. Watch out..😉

Is it me or are these questions getting a lot easier these days - perhaps someone has had a word with AI and he has listened but ATM there is nothing to tax the brain !! Just my opinion - anyone else think the same ?

Hello ship modelers, we've covered this topic in several very interesting threads.

Now, to understand how Stephen (Fireboat) great did, just search for a keyword (which I remembered related to this topic) and easily find all the threads and posts addressing the topic (because the search was done in the texts, not just the titles), even though they were very old.
It was impossible before. There's always room for improvement.
