Hi Nick.
Yes, if you enter a port (correctly) in region A of the world you will see on your right the signal with the green cone on it (or green light if at night) and on your left the signal with the red cylinder on it (or red light if at night). In region B exactly the opposite.
This is true but I still haven't understood the reason. Why couldn't it be the same for everyone?
Not only that, what do the countries in zone A have in common with those in zone B, or if you want what differentiates them, what is the criterion adopted (if there is one).
America is part of zone B together with Japan, the Philippines and Korea. Why?
Europe is together with Africa, Asia (with the aforementioned exceptions) and Oceania. Why?
This commonality excludes criteria that are easy to imagine, such as: general geographical subdivisions (Northern/Southern Hemisphere - Western/Eastern Hemisphere), historical subdivisions (states and their colonies for example), subdivisions of linguistic groups (English-speaking or not, for example), cultural subdivisions (metric system and Anglo-Saxon system), subdivisions of customs (driving cars on the right rather than on the left), economic, religious, monetary, financial subdivisions, etc. etc.
Sorry, I don't want to keep you up late for these existential dilemmas. You can think about it tomorrow if you want.

Hi Nick,
Re "the buoyage system in US waters is reversed ie, as regards lateral marks Port is right and Starboard is right."
Both right! Does that mean you're supposed to run straight over the buoy?🤔
Cheers, Doug😎

May I ask what sidelights have to do with International Maritime Beacons??🤔

Good evening gentlemen, returning to the interesting topic of signals, lighthouses and signal lights from a few days ago, I wanted to make a clarification.
I wrote: "Signals of this type are international and cannot be interpreted or mistaken".

If you ask me what the reason is, well I don't know, but it is so.
Even more strange and apparently inexplicable (at least for me and for now) is the criterion for dividing these two areas.

Hey Ron! Lifted this off 'tinternet.....
"Inner Mongolia,[a] officially the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region,[b] is an autonomous region of China. Its border includes two-thirds of the length of China's border with the country of Mongolia. Inner Mongolia also accounts for a small section of China's border with Russia (Zabaykalsky Krai). Its capital is Hohhot; other major cities include Baotou, Chifeng, Tongliao, and Ordos."

Today was REALLY easy.
I've stood on the memorial, in the harbor.
My uncle was on one of the sunken ships, and survived.
If I missed that question, I believe I'd be disowned by my extended family.

So far my collection resembles "The Island of Misfit Toys". I've picked up several boats that are old builds and have been neglected. I'm giving them the TLC they need, hoping to bring them back to their former glory. Once I get enough practice/ experience I intend to take on a full build.
A No Brainer today !
Who don't know dat?🙄
Except perhaps a few guys in Outer Mongolia?
BTW: That reminds me. Anyone ever heard of an Inner Mongolia?😉

Hi Dave, don't take it personally.
Your participation didn't bother me, quite the opposite, I'm very pleased and happy for you.
I wasn't referring to you in particular. But
A mechanism, to work well and be credible, cannot be based on the sensitivity of individual participants. Usually, what is not expressly forbidden is done if it is convenient.

The 1983 Film 'Wargames' was to tongue in cheek poke at machines in charge.. I always wondered how much of this was fiction or it be loosely based on a real objective of a 'committee' somewhere!!

Alessandro and Doug,
First, Doug, score one for you .... 🤣. Yes the QOD is addicting, and it got me.
Second, Alessandro, I'm sorry if my return and going back "post daily" answers are upsetting. It is not my intention to "cheat" by using information from discussions about the questions to better my score. Sure, I like doing well, but there are easier ways to cheat (Google). I tried to answer the previous questions from my own knowledge, best guesses, and admittedly lucky guesses. I apologize if this seems inappropriate.

I cannot promise to finish one project before starting another. I know, I tried.
I like to see the 'cock ups' of this world as they develop. Reliance on A.I. in many things, my son (ex- Assoc. Prof. of Sydney Uni.) tells me A.I. will take over the world, well maybe that is going too far but you know what I mean.
The problem lies between you/us and the person giving you access to A.I. and how it will work for you. I respect our QoD director as he listens to the forum and acts in our interests. I saw a GP about a lack of feeling in 1 1/2 fingers he put me onto an entirely inappropriate medical Q&A for a diagnosis, perhaps too busy to check was he?
I have met the lady who is the Chair of the government A.I. committee as she was our son's supervisor for his Phd, nice to talk to but out of Nerdland.
When I was in a particular work position I developed a product that went out to a well known name for instant attention by a manager. It produced an income stream and as I was the instant manager, I could spend it! This was my 'slush fund' for bailing out our own nerds who had escaped supervision and promised things to customers that they could not deliver.
Anything the UK government recommend we do or should buy always comes back to bite us. If you remember Mad Cow desease? Mainly spread because slaughter houses were centalised so cattle had to travel etc. Sounds like the 'Accountants' at work to defeat common sense. We were told to buy diesel powered cars, remember that?
I remember seeing a poster put up during a general election saying 'No matter who you vote for the government will get in'
My main career was in the computer industry and my first 10 years was maintenance first as a doer, engineer in charge, and then as a Field Manager. So when the only computers you see are failed, faulty and broken you can understand my reluctance to rely on them.
When I had the chance to implement my ideas for repair and maintenance we achieved a more successful outcome than those that did it by the book. It, in a small way permeated the company and the changes started at the bottom where the 'informed' were.
I was later in a great job where I had to solve problems usually between the company and a customer before the fighting broke out. Faults, I reckon were allocated 50:50 but I did suggest changes ignored at first then acted on. I am afraid that is also NOT the way up the corporate ladder!
Anyone remember Edward de Bono and Lateral thinking? He was an early hero of mine, another was a senior man to me, a Project Manager and led one of the biggest computer / government projects (OK it was the Swansea RFL project) When called to account at Parliament he showed how the customer had caused all the problems and the computer company came out squeaky clean. He kept a day book which I also did and it saved me from several situations where others were prepared to lie. While a contemporaneous diary account written at the time gives the evidence of what understandings were reached at the time. It is a death blow to the bluster and BS on the other side.
I can't say the same for the Post Office enquiry as I think I met and clashed with the computer project manager when I was chosen as the guinea pig area of implementing hand held computers in cars using parallel two way protocol s/w.
The way to deal with a situation like this is to out-think the project and work out their next few moves and be ready to implement your interpretation of what should happen, before they tell you what to do! Helps if you play chess!
I lost that battle as I was made personna non grata and refused entry to the meetings. I was the manager of the computer system and the staff involved! This was after pointing out the failings in the project plan, (PERT used badly), but I won the war!
Everything worked from Day 1. I received congrats from all my peer colleagues in the other areas. I do not remember that ever happening before as often the guinea pigs were the quality control of the project.
So back to A.I. if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. I think I read today that most of 'certain electric cars' traffic following computers were being re-called! My only real trust in computers is long haul flying mainly in the A380, very reliable! Also hope the pilots are awake and I like to see a lady pilot as I think she has had to work harder to get to that position. The laptop I am using now has caused more grief than smiles.
My main regret is that as I am getting on a bit now. I shall not see the long term outcome of it all. So to younger members of the forum question everything, never trust the government and most of all, use your common sense.

Are we all so desperate to be at the top of the rankings? This is supposed to be for fun, but seems to be getting very competetive. I have missed a couple of months of questions for various reasons, so am almost at the bottom of the heap, but so what - it is nice to get answers correct, especially when the questions are set right, but it is not the end of the world if I am wrong, it means I have probably learnt something.

Thanks for the reply Nick.
So another question arises.
It is mainly addressed to Fireboat but also to others.
Now the counting system developed by Fireboat is excellent. In fact, you understand the reason for your percentage and that of the others. It is all very clear.
The examotage of skipping questions that you do not know has been avoided thanks to this system, so there is no risk that with a single correct answer you get 100% and maintain the first position in the ranking.
But a problem remains.
Is it possible in your opinion that this can be done?
A donor does not answer questions to which he does not know the answers. Wait a few days. Then he reads the comments and understands which were the answers he was unable to give. Finally he fills in the missing answers that he was unable to give.
If the answer is yes, it can be done, then there is an obvious problem.

Good morning lovers and critics of the quiz of the day.
Sorry, I want to ask you a question.
I know that those who donate can see the days before the "Question of the Day", but can those who donate money to the site also answer questions that have not been answered in the previous days, as long as they are within thirty days?
I don't know if I asked the question clearly.

I went back and answered a month's worth.
To be honest, 2 were unlucky guesses, 6 were very lucky guesses, about 10 were good hunches, and the rest I actually knew.

So far my collection resembles "The Island of Misfit Toys". I've picked up several boats that are old builds and have been neglected. I'm giving them the TLC they need, hoping to bring them back to their former glory. Once I get enough practice/ experience I intend to take on a full build.

Doug,
De-Blurring never occurred to me.
But, now that you mentioned it, I applied a little simple magic and VOILA, there it is. 😁
Not that it matters much, as I am a lot more stress-free, avoiding the AI daily questions altogether.

Some of us are here to learn, others already know many answers. So really only option 1 is right. For those keen to hit the 100% mark, then the question needs to be fixed, with all scores on the wrong question deleted, this will also help for those who have learnt something new.

Thanks Stephen for asking.
My opinion is this:
Definitely not the third option, never.
In the case where the question is well formulated and the problem is only in the answers I would adopt the first option, that is, correcting the question (as in today's case). Perhaps by eliminating the person who made the mistake by giving them a second chance.
If, on the other hand, the question is difficult to understand, or is open to subjective interpretations or in any case misleading, the second solution is better, that is, reformulating a completely new question.
Even in this case, the counts of those who made the mistake unintentionally should be reset.

Since this is bound to happen again, what is the correct action next time around when we know there’s an error?
1. Fix the current question
2. Generate a totally different question
3. Leave it as is
And your time starts… now… 😁

Good grief Doug. I have enough trouble reading the clear text on my IPhone early in the morning. I think it would drive me mad to try to read the blurred writing.😳😬😬

Guys, obviously the last word is Fireboat's but for me there is no problem in resetting everything and asking the question again, so no one feels bad.
I'm sorry that someone feels penalized.
The important thing is that AI does not create our culture (which is also based on error).
I always look favorably on human intervention on errors of a blind machine.

Ref: The Dreaded Glitch!
Thanks Stephen,
That makes sense, and puts my mind at rest😉
So in effect it was bad or unfortunate timing on my part.
Was beginning to think it was the onset of dementia.
I don't envy your task of taming AI.
I know from my own programming experience (decades before AI was even a 'Twinkle in his father's eye😜) that the more you tweak a new subroutine the worse it can often get☹️🤕
1 problem solved - 2 more created.
Cheers, Doug😊
PS I believe it might have been fairer to all to scrap the 'buoy' question and set a completely new one.

The best thing would have been is to ignore this day question and set everything back. Then start fresh for the next day. The first question was good as you just had to delete the wrong answers and you were left with one. Had it right the first time and chose the same answer the second time which was wrong as I thought it was all the same answered. The outcome you chose to redo the answers was not fair. Please delete this days results and start fresh which I do not think you will do as others have more influence on this🤔

Great and right choice Fireboat.
It would have been wrong and misinformative to pass off as correct a notion that was clearly incorrect.
Well done Stephen.
