Congratulations lemonpiez on your win
Thank you!
I only had to resort to Google twice this month (although I also checked four others before submitting my answers, just to make sure that my educated guesses, and vague recollections, were indeed correct).
Many congratulations to anyone who has managed 31/31 unaided.
🦋Well done Mark !!, I had to use Google three and a half times this month !! The half time one was just to confirm my answer was right before I submitted it, which it was !! There’s no shame in admitting having to use Google or indeed any other kind of knowledge confirmation, after all, that’s what these things are for !!😂 Good luck to you and everyone else !!🤞😀🦋
That’s a new one on me. Had to Google it.
I went to clear yesterday’s answer but it entered instead! I’ve no idea why, when I refresh the page, the previous day’s answer always shows.
“One and a half litres of champagne is known as a what ?” ~ not enough!!
I somehow don’t think that “a good breakfast” is going to be the correct answer today (the champagne question)….
I was unable to do question 19, as it kept coming up as question 18, so was not able to answer
See Daniels reply further down, he has said he will give points as not updated properly.
Hi, Apologies for the issue with today’s not updating. This should be resolved later today. However, as it has been like this all day I can confirm that anyone who submits any answer today will be rewarded with full points. There is no need to answer again when the issue has been resolved. Good luck, Daniel.
Typo today?
Yesterdays question was same as the day before. I answered it correctly so do I still get the point even though it hadn’t updated?
See Daniels reply further down, he has said he will give points as not updated properly.
🦋Today’s question is misspelt, it should be Aurora rather than Auora 😎, do I get an extra point for this ??😂🦋
Sunday’s question should read ‘Aurora Borealis’, not Auora Borealis. It may be pedantic but I’m in a picky mood today. 😉 I wasn’t able to see yesterday’s question either.
yesterdays question was not updated so could not answer it
See Daniels reply further down, he explains.
Like others on here I couldn’t answer yesterdays question as site didn’t update before I went to bed. Will we get a point or will yesterdays question be made void?
Same here I didn’t answer either cause it was the same question as the day before 🙁
Look down a bit, they’ve said a few times to put any answer and you’d get full points.
Thank you for the update Daniel. A lot of players were ‘stuck in limbo’ with the question not updating. Great to hear that it has been resolved.
Gave the same answer as yesterday, hope this still counts as two entries?
Im thinking of doing this too.

I even checked just before midnight and it was still showing the previous days question so I never answered the quiz at all yesterday.
Me too Wendy. I didn’t answer the question as it was so obviously a mistake, so I think we should be rewarded with the full points regardless. How about it Daniel?
Exact same reason I didn’t put one in and should be awarded to all
5:20pm Saturday and still showing Fridays question 🤔😕

i ended up entering ‘Athens’ again…
Hi Daniel. Does that mean that you will also award full points to those who did not answer it as we realised it was a mistake and didn’t repeat the answer for the question asked the day before?
Daniel, can you please update the question, its the same as fridays 🙂

Thanks Daniel.
same question as yesterday!
This seems to be happening a fair bit of late.
Not the same question – they haven’t updated yet, so it’s still Friday.
Phil – it’s supposed to update at 11am 😉
You know that. I know that. Presumably the organisers know that as well, it’s just the computer that seems to have forgotten.

There are actually two square roots of 25!
You are technically correct. The best kind of correct.
I’ll be interested to see your explanation later.
Are you disputing the existence of two [square] roots?
They are (+)5 and -5.
Multiplying two negative numbers gives a positive number, so (-5)x(-5)=25 just as 5×5=25.
Correct!
No, just giving you the opportunity to explain.
Will Korea be accepted rather than North Korea?
🦋Heather10, I think you’d have had to be more specific as you have both North and South Korea and a woman is the leader of South Korea, either way you still get 1 point because you put an answer. Good luck !😀🦋
Should have googled it lol
I put North and caught the enter key by mistake. At least I get the 1 point for entering even if it was wrong!!
I just put 27th for the last one, as October was already specified in the question; hope that’ll be accepted?
Same here. Only put 27th as the month had already been stated.
Ditto. The date was the 27th, the month was already stated.
So did I.
I only put 27 lol
Today’s (Saturday) question has not been updated? Thanks
yep…..i didn’t get to enter yesterday as hadn’t been updated! 🙁
It was there at 1.30 pm yesterday.
Looks like I put a hole too many.
Well, I haven’t been ten-pin bowling for years.
Me too
I’ve gotta admit I tried to be clever with today’s question, Let’s see what happens.
Nevermind I just read the question again and now i feel stupid
(I think they re-worded the question.)
Oooh a 5th Beatle, called Herbie 😀😀
I think it should be ‘beetle’ rather than ‘beatle’!!
There’s quite a few letters before R in the alphabet 😂
17, in fact.
But I note that the question has been modified post-publication: it is now “What letter comes directly before ‘R’ in the alphabet ?”
(I don’t think even the ‘smartest’ of smart-alecs would have answered other than “Q” though – not if they really wanted their answer to be marked as correct!)
We had a couple of people answer R, S and T. Everyone else answered correctly with Q 🙂
Just goes to prove, there’s nowt so queer as folk!
I hope the month shall be win,win win for me and other contestants???
Yeah, great start, haven’t a clue what we’re supposed to make of today’s. Hope they are all not going to be like it for the rest of October?
Yeah totally stumped , be no entries for me for this 1
You have to find out the sum of those numbers, I had to look up what this meant lol maths was never my strong point. It’s all to do with products and sums of a problem, in this case it was the sum and not the product. Sounds confusing but a lot simpler than you think. I bet our children would know better than us adults lol
Back to school for you, lol, you could of guessed to get one entry. Its two entries for the correct answer. Good luck for the rest.
Yes Wendy, we could have guessed if we had a clue what it was all about. I looked up how to get the sum of number and like the other Susan said, it was confusing.
Literally the first result on google:
Definition of the sum of. 1 : an amount of (money) I paid the sum of $500. 2 : the result of (adding two or more numbers together) The sum of 5 and 7 is 12.
I just added them up seemed quite straight forward
Yup, hardly rocket science….
You get one entry (in the month-end draw) just for answering, and another for giving the corerct answer.
So, presumably, answering “20” would only be one-entry better than giving, say, “Giraffe” as your guess.
Thank you for the win, was brilliant seeing my name, yay
