Question of the Day?

Hi Rick,
Reckon you're right about the first two infamous 'can't-bes', but I'll bet that most UK/Commonwealth members would have also instantly recognised the third😉 Remnants of which were found off the south coast of UK and preserved at tremendous effort and cost!
This is reflected in the jump of correct answers from the UK.
Anyway, a simple process of elimination should suffice; northern European/US names in Greece in 4BC? I don't think so😉
Cheers, Doug 😎

Hi Doug
Not sure some thoght it was a joke if you look at the % of wrong answers. At least it should only have been a 50% chance.Two of the answers most should know where they went down.

Question of the Day?

The living hopes of our hobby of model building lies with us helping others learn our skills.
Even those that use modern technology to produce items for use can have a great impact on the following generations.
So fellow modellers, let's keep sharing what we have learnt with those that wish to learn.
As I am nearing the end of my modelling life, I am happy that my grandson is learning from me and other modellers, and enjoying working on his own projects.
Keep it up for a better modelling world, as modelling has no boundaries.
Cheers Colin.
Fair winds and calm waters,
COLIN.

I do hope this site and our hobbies carry on. With the costs of everything going up younger people may have to learn how to make and build items they want. Necessity may become the mother of invention for them.

"Given the recent upgrades / mods to the site, and now this effort, I'm beginning to wonder if you've taken early retirement, won the lottery or inherited a million or two!"

I only wish Doug! It'll be late retirement if anything. The age keeps going up! Still 30 years left I reckon. I do wonder what this website will be like in 30 years time. Sadly people don't build things themselves as much now, so I do worry it'll become a wasteland. Hopefully not 🤞 I keep fingers crossed younger generations will realise the fun in making instead of buying.

Question of the Day is now live for all!

We've an extensive list of questions taking us into next year... I'll publish past days questions on this thread once we've accumulated some.

Hope everyone enjoys!

Hi Stephen,
Re "I've now figured out a way to get multiple-choice quiz questions very easily), how many of you would enjoy a non-competition based fun question of the day, each day?"

Whatever; more power to your keyboard / tablet / AI interface ...👍
Count me in, also as a 'feedbacker', you do of course realise that (electronically speaking😉) there is both positive and negative feed back😉
When do the 'previews' for feedbackers start?

Hi Nick,
"photo quiz on M B Mayhem"
Wasn't that Dave Wooley's 'Mystery ship' challenge which used to appear at the end of his 'World of Warships' articles in Model Boats magazine?
I miss that, some I recognised instantly, had email correspondence with Dave about one or two, some I had to research for hours to satisfy my curiosity.
Maybe Mayhem did something similar, no idea I try to cause as little mayhem as possible😁

Question of the Day?

Early release (on homepage) for those in this thread who have expressed interest 👍

Happy to take feedback before making live for all.

Researchers; give me some time to figure out the best way to manage researcher feedback. I've a couple of volunteers now. Thank you so much for this! Once I can direct you to somewhere to check/edit the upcoming questions I'll let you know 🤓 🎓 ⛵

Question of the Day?

Hi All,

Given that it's always popular in December (and I've now figured out a way to get multiple-choice quiz questions very easily), how many of you would enjoy a non-competition based fun question of the day, each day?

In a similar way to December's one, it'll be on the home screen each day, with four possible answers to choose from. Maybe a rolling leader board and linked forum thread to discuss questions (but not reveal answers until the following day).

I know we're talking about at least 365 nautical/shipping/maritime/sailing/boating quiz questions here! But I now believe its possible to put together with little effort 😉 perhaps useful to onboard a volunteer researcher mind, to double check questions and answers before they're made live. So if anyone would like to do that, let me know too.

Thoughts on having a Question of the Day?

Stephen
