Congratulations lemonpiez on your win

Thank you!

Guest

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!!

Guest

I somehow don’t think that “a good breakfast” is going to be the correct answer today (the champagne question)….

Guest

I was unable to do question 19, as it kept coming up as question 18, so was not able to answer

Wendy
Member

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?

samm76

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?

Wendy
Member
Wendy

See Daniels reply further down, he has said he will give points as not updated properly.

Maggie
Member

🦋Today’s question is misspelt, it should be Aurora rather than Auora 😎, do I get an extra point for this ??😂🦋

Lucy
Member
Lucy

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.

Guest

yesterdays question was not updated so could not answer it

Wendy
Member
Wendy

See Daniels reply further down, he explains.

Christine Carter
Member
Christine Carter

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?

Paula
Member
Paula

Same here I didn’t answer either cause it was the same question as the day before 🙁

Daniel
Member
Daniel

Look down a bit, they’ve said a few times to put any answer and you’d get full points.

ColinR
Member
ColinR

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.

Andrew
Member
Andrew

Gave the same answer as yesterday, hope this still counts as two entries?

Wendy
Member

Im thinking of doing this too.

5:20pm Saturday and still showing Fridays question 🤔😕

Wendy
Member

Daniel, can you please update the question, its the same as fridays 🙂

hornetcarp
Member

same question as yesterday!

Chris
Member

This seems to be happening a fair bit of late.

Phil
Member

Not the same question – they haven’t updated yet, so it’s still Friday.

Sally
Member
Sally

Phil – it’s supposed to update at 11am 😉

Phil
Member

You know that. I know that. Presumably the organisers know that as well, it’s just the computer that seems to have forgotten.

Andy

There are actually two square roots of 25!

Daniel
Member
Daniel

You are technically correct. The best kind of correct.

Elsee
Member
Elsee

I’ll be interested to see your explanation later.

Guest

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.

Andy
Member
Andy

Correct!

Elsee
Member
Elsee

No, just giving you the opportunity to explain.

Will Korea be accepted rather than North Korea?

Maggie
Member
Maggie

🦋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 !😀🦋

Heather10
Member
Heather10

Should have googled it lol

allicat
Member
allicat

I put North and caught the enter key by mistake. At least I get the 1 point for entering even if it was wrong!!

Sally
Member
Sally

I just put 27th for the last one, as October was already specified in the question; hope that’ll be accepted?

Lostkiwi
Member
Lostkiwi

Same here. Only put 27th as the month had already been stated.

allicat
Member
allicat

Ditto. The date was the 27th, the month was already stated.

Wendy

So did I.

It was there at 1.30 pm yesterday.

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.

Joe
Member
Joe

Nevermind I just read the question again and now i feel stupid

Phil
Member

(I think they re-worded the question.)

JULIE

Oooh a 5th Beatle, called Herbie 😀😀

Jane
Member
Jane

I think it should be ‘beetle’ rather than ‘beatle’!!

David
Member
David

There’s quite a few letters before R in the alphabet 😂

Guest

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!)

I hope the month shall be win,win win for me and other contestants???

Susan
Member

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?

DivitLad
Member
DivitLad

Yeah totally stumped , be no entries for me for this 1

Susan
Member
Susan

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

Wendy
Member
Wendy

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.

Susan
Member
Susan

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.

Daniel
Member
Daniel

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.

Heather10
Member
Heather10

I just added them up seemed quite straight forward

Speedmaster
Member
Speedmaster

Yup, hardly rocket science….

Guest

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.
