The 31 Day October Quiz Challenge
Due to popular demand this month I am returning with a quiz. I’m sure like last time some of the questions will know straight away, with others taking a little more time to work out – and even have you go searching for the answer. Each day in October a new question will be displayed below. If you manage to answer a question correctly you will receive 2 entries into the draw. If you get the question wrong you will receive 1 entry (just for giving it a try). All entries will be pooled at the end of the month and one winner drawn at random.
The competition started on 1st October 2017 and runs until the end of the month. The last question will be shown on 31st October 2017, with the winner being announced here on 1st November 2017. The winner will then have 24 hours to claim their £10 cash prize, so be sure to check back.
I’m absolutely delighted to be the winner – Such a lovely surprise. Many thanks!
Well done bsayburn 👍
Well done bsayburn
Well done Bsayburn 🙂
1978? Is it really that long ago? – means I must be VERY OLD
Hi Elsee. It was indeed, but it doesn’t make you very old, just very wise! Good luck, Daniel
🦋 I’ve had so many problems accessing this site for a total of 11 days and therefore been unable to participate fully in the competition and Draws, there’s been days when the site wouldn’t load, saying the server is down, error 404 etc, so many different messages, I’d play for days then the site wouldn’t work for a couple of days, it started working and for the last 6 days alone I’ve been locked out for some stupid reason. Tried clearing history, Cache, Cookies etc, even done a hard refresh, everything I’ve been told to do in the past but… Read more »
Hi Maggie, The site has been fully operational (as far as I am aware) during this time. There was a few issues with the questions not updating but the site itself should have still been accessible. I haven’t had any other reports of the site being inaccessible at all during this period. If this happens again would you mind sending through some screenshots so that I can investigate further Maggie ?? So sorry you are having so many problems. When this happens do you have another device you are able to try it on? Thanks Daniel
🦋 Hi Daniel, I’ll certainly take some screenshots should it happen again but fingers crossed it won’t🤞. I’ve been playing on my iPad Air since I signed up and had no problems before like this but I’ve also got a large laptop, which I’m too damn lazy to bother setting up and having that weight on my legs and me trying to find each individual key to type a message out !!🤣🤣 I’ve also got my iPhone 7 that I could use but again I’m too damn lazy to load the pages through the search engines, I’ve got them already… Read more »
I understand Maggie. It is just if it happens again it would be useful to see if you get the same problem on your laptop as well as your iPad. Fingers crossed you won’t get it again though. Daniel
Is today’s not due to halloween gremlins but to clock gremlins?
Changed now
🙁 missed yesterdays. Checked a few times and it hadn’t been updated….. and i knew the answer
I was the same *pout*
Hi Daniel, when I clicked submit today, the page froze and I had to refresh and re-submit the same answer as I wasn’t sure whether it went through the first time. Second time around worked though and the green “Your entry has been successfully submitted…” appeared. Just wanted to let you know…
Thanks.
OK, thanks Anjay. Your entry has been received so all OK. Thanks again and Good Luck, Daniel
Groundhog day ……… ha ha ha, another glitch 💻
The Halloween gremlins are out early…
Hi Wendy/Cheryl. They certainly are. I can confirm though that they have since been resolved. Good Luck, Daniel.
I knew you would, just there is no reason for people to go on about it.
Good luck and lets hope the gremlins have gone for good.
Thanks Cheryl.
“Let’s do the time warp again!” Lol. Just an idea but people could submit y’days answer again – that was allowed to count when there was a similar problem a few days ago
Hi Ruskin Apologies again. I can confirm though that the issue has since been resolved. Good Luck, Daniel.
Still showing the Corrie question for me! Anyone else? I’ll pop back later to see if it’s been changed Daniel must be busy. No harm done. x
Yep – this happened a few days ago & Daniel said he would count those who re-entered the previous day’s answer too
Hi Jane. Apologies again. The question is supposed to update automatically at 11am but for some reason it didn’t. The issue is being looked into but I can confirm that the question has since been updated. Good Luck, Daniel.
I answered the question about Coronation Street Yesterday
Yep – this happened a few days ago & Daniel said he would count those who re-entered the previous day’s answer too
I felt ashamed that I knew the answer to today’s Corrie question lol!!!! I am enjoying the comp though thank you!
I also forgot but it must have been on quite late as it wasn’t on by 5.15pm as that was the last time I checked. Alcohol and 2 episodes of ice road truckers caused me to forget 😂
Damn!!! I forgot to come back later yesterday, so I missed it!!!! Grrrrr 2 points missed…
🙁 So easily done, like me & Winneroo (thanks for all of the tags there btw). I usually try to comment here & on similar sites if they run late then with luck a reply reminds me
I hope everything’s ok Daniel & you’re just off partying with Captain Point Club who is also a tad tardy today (or maybe in recovery from some shindig/shenanigans last night 🙂 )
Apologies. It was a technical glitch which has been fixed now. If you answered yesterday’s question again today you will still receive today’s points. Thanks for your understanding, Daniel
Thats a relief, thanks team 😃
Oooh groundhog day 😉 Hope I remember to check back later.
Yes, this is yesterdays question, must be a glitch.
Isn’t this yesterdays question?
Yes, no doubt a new one will be on soon.
I’ll wait til later then and hope I remember, thanks for answering
Apologies. It was a technical glitch which has been fixed now. If you answered yesterday’s question again today you will still receive today’s points. Thanks for your understanding, Daniel
hiya i missed a question the other day, do we have to answer all of them to be entered x
No, you get one entry per answer submitted, plus one entry for each correct answer, ie. a maximum of sixty-two entries for this competition.
ok, thank you jo for letting me know xx
Umm…Kleptomanium? That’ll walk off with anything that’s not tied down!
I submitted my answer but unfortunately predictive text stuck a 2 on the end of my answer. am I able to resubmit?
Hi Heather10, Sorry, only the first answer for each day is registered. Good Luck, Daniel.
I so want to just answer “a number” today because…well…it IS! Lol
Think I need some new glasses! I counted the number of SUNdays on the calendar instead of Mondays! I even counted twice because I’d expected the answer to be 5. What an idiot!
Maybe question 13 should have been how many vowels in the word “ambiguous”? 😉
I have to disagree with the answer of 6 to the question “How many vowels are there in the word ‘advantageous’”. As I said 4 because only 4 vowels appear, as ‘A’ appears 3 times, as your question was ambiguous to the interpretation
Sorry I have to disagree with you, there are 6 vowels in the word ‘advantageous’. If the question was ‘how many different vowels are in the word advantageous’ I could see how it would be 4.
If the question was ‘how many letters in the word advantageous’ would you have said 12 or 10?
🦋I’m with you Hollie, I took it to read “ how many vowels are in the word ‘ advantageous ‘ “ ?? NOT “ how many DIFFERENT vowels are in the word ‘ advantageous ‘ “ and IF anyone is unsure then ASK someone here as there is always someone hanging around here who will be more than willing to help. IF by chance, you don’t get an answer ( which I’m sure you will.), then put BOTH your answers on the same entry form ( as liverpoolgirl has done ) and explain why you’ve reached that answer.🦋
I agree. I hedged my bets by saying a total of 6 but only 4 different ones.
Is today’s question including or excluding jokers?
Hi David. Just a standard deck of cards – no jokers, although I will accept either as the correct answer.
Two possible answers today, I just know that whichever I go for will be the wrong one!
Confused as to how there are 2 possible answers! Hope I’ve got it right now.
There are 6 vowels but only 5 different ones
Four different ones
Yeah, that, lol. Pretty sure I got it right in my answer but not so much here 😉
Hi Answer. Only one possible answer. The question was how many vowels, not how many different or unique vowels 🙂 Good Luck, Daniel
Not sure if this was a trick question, hoping that my answer covered all bases! 🙂
Hmmm……
🦋 I’d never live it down if I didn’t know today’s answer as 1 of my big sisters lives in that country ! ☺️🦋
I’m sure you will have got it right then Maggie. Good Luck! Daniel
Alexander Fleming went the doctors for an appointment. Receptionist said “Can you make Wednesday?” He said “Im not sure”. She said “Okay Ill penicillin you in.”
Good one Carl!
Oh boy – trick question today or double bluff? Hope I’ve covered the bases 🙂
Agree, I’ve gone with the obvious.
Love these quizzes…worth putting a short reminder of the questions before the answer though? (E.g. “pink and white”, “usa flag”, “power twins”, etc). Dunno if thats changed cos having the whole question there made it too long or not.
Hi Carl. Thanks. I’ll look at getting these added shortly. Thanks, Daniel
🦋 well, given my mixed parentage I definitely knew today’s answer so far so good I should have all the answers correct to date, if not then I’ll wanna know why Daniel !! 😜😉😂🦋
Mixed parentage? Do you mean one man and one woman?! JK (as I’m sure you know) 😀
Oops I think I missed yesterdays question. Oh well
I have the same trouble. I use an ‘aol.com’ email address and there is an ongoing issue with them not forwarding messages in a timely manner. I’ve had Tuesday’s reminder arrive in my inbox on Thursday!. I’m not sure where it gets held up but I definitely need to set myself up a reminder because I forget to log in without FBL’s email
As long as the site is on my favourites I go through them but its been a taxing week so forgetting what I have done lol. How about setting a phone alarm reminder?
I never rely on email reminders, have a list of the lottery sites on my favourites whereby the first one is my homepage. Almost impossible to forget!
According to Google ‘voice of Europe’ is a news page.
I’ve answered but not sure it’s correct, I found someone whose songs won 3 times (2 X this person as singer, 1 X as songwriter). If it’s not correct then no idea as no record however I word the question on google
Voice of Europe? Joey Tempest surely? 😉
Haha, I remember Europe. “We’re heading for Venus, maybe they’ve seen us”. Eat your heart out Bob Dylan!
Remember??? They haven’t given up yet! It was always a worry what “Venus” could rhyme with…. Lol
I hadn’t thought of that, I’ve obviously led a sheltered life! I’m going to go and google JT now, see if the years have been kind.
Can’t actually remember what Q2 was so no idea if I said 50 or not, lol
It was how many stars on the U.S. flag
So it was – thanks, I couldn’t remember for the life of me, lol. I got it right too 🙂
It was how many stars has the American flag 😊 x
So it was – thanks, I couldn’t remember for the life of me, lol. I got it right too 🙂
I’m no good at breainteasers but I’ll have a go lol
Hi Angelicalish. I’m sure you will manage. Good Luck, Daniel
If this is 30 days what happens on Halloween? How can we survive it without a question??? 😉
My screen says 31 days
So does mine now, lol. I think someone has been singing the rhyme then editing 🙂
Something spooky going on due to the 31st being Halloween? Either that or you caught us in the middle of editing. 🙂 Daniel.
Or using their knuckles. I have only just found that one out a few years ago. For those who don’t know make a fist. Starting from either your little finger or your fore finger is January the dip is February, March is the next knuckle and so on when you get to July you then count August on the same knuckle and then continue. All the knuckles are 31 days the dips are 30 of course except February which is 28 or 29. Nice easy visual reminder although I still use the rhyme. 😊
