Hi all, putting the cursor on your own name reveals a mystery. Where does 16 right, played 26 (for me) come from? As I have had the last 4or 5 correct, those numbers have not changed. My score goes up and down from 50 - 53%, down from 100%.

As we modellers have an interest in scale, numbers and calculations we are the wrong group to get screwed up data results.

I got it correct today WHoopee!!!🤣🤣. But I opened up and my % had dropped again even thought yesterday I got it correct, This is happening almost every day this week. It's kin stupid🙈🤕. I don't mind being bottom of the list as at school I was mostly in the corner with the dunce's hat on, but there you go. I'll just go ⛵sailing on tying to get higher. It's now been months since I had a 100% score since the higher archery changed the scoring system again. It's like being back in the classroom and I'm 6 again, I'l go and get the cane and book, I used to get that at least once a week or the ruler across the knuckles. 🤕🤕.

Well that one got me a bit confused. As an Electronics Engineer, I thought I can't get this wrong because I know my stuff. However with the option of the Telegraph being in the answer I had two choices. Bell's patent was for "the method of, and apparatus for, transmitting vocal or other sounds telegraphically" Of course we all call it a Telephone. Anyway I chose the obvious and got it right. 😁

Oops got it wrong, tomorrow will be better😊

Get a lodestone, they are all the rage round my way. ..

I think I'm gonna make me an Astrolabe out of Lego to see if I can navigate!! 😁

In Budapest City Centre today. I am looking for a Sunstone so that I can find my way home.😳

Another god guess for me today😊👍

When in doubt, answer Sunstone!

Same for me ,ai seems to have a liking for sun stones🤔.

I got today's question right, but my overall percentage has gone down. Something isn't working as it should, I think.

I think these questions bring into question whether the A.I may in fact be suffering from dementia. Again the data does not work out.
Roy

Not again!🙄💤💤💤
Capt AI is deliberately circumventing Stephen's NO REPEATS order.
Gross insubordination.
😎

Further random checks of other members %'s makes me wonder where the calculations are done, they are not accurate.
Roy

Hi all I am now wondering how the scoring works? Last 3 questions correct but no change in score!
Perhaps A.I. is unfamiliar with maths?
Roy

Finally I was as wrong as most of us😂

Wow got this one right today, just a lucky guess😊

Amazing England is a island and yet as a country we seem to know very little about history of our navy , I can say this because I included myself .🙄
Philuk👍

Hi Nick,
Good idea, thanks for the prompt👍
I think on balance I will go with just CLOT! (Not an acronym😉)
Cheers, ciao, tschüss, adieu, adiós, doei, Ваше здоровье, veb, Doug😎

I prefer CLOI I Complete Lack of Intelligence intelligence...

Ye Gods and little fishes!
You might just as well ask 'When was 1915?'.🙄
AI: Awesome Idiocy.
Wonder who the 6% are who went for 1920.
Probably the same guys who thought submarines had nuclear power in 1905😂🤣
Hey ho. All good fun what!
Cheers All, Doug😎

Rather than artificial intelligence, normal intelligence would be enough for us.

I had to read it twice it was staring me in the face🤔
Philuk👍

Today's question didn't really require any specialist knowledge - even I got it right!

Oh Dear! That is the most stupid question yet! What happened in 1915 can only be what happened in 1915 and not the distant future. The detail is irrelevant as logically there is only one correct answer!

Score must be ascending now!
Roy

I have the feeling I have been supplying all the right answers but in the wrong order!

I shall be glad to move further south for questions. Once I was 100% and of course the only way is then down and down and down.

Please no more ice and submarine questions for a bit it is getting tedious and also contraversial as to the answers. I checked later on Wiki and the answers given do not stack up with Wiki data. So where do the answers come from? Is Wikipedia wrong?

I am told AI is the future and if so it looks like the future is dodgy based on contraversial data and interpretation.
AI is based on known data and popular belief so does that mean that different data bases from other countries will have correct data? Consider China and America their view of facts and where they are obtained will be different.

Speaking to a well versed IT expert leaves me worried that soon we shalll be faced with disbelieving most News and TV as it will take more time to work out where the truth does lie, than watching the TV. So do not watch any.

I have watched a video of what appeared to be a well known film star in court and 'surprising' the judge on his expertise. When another similar story emerged I realised this was AI inspired and total fiction. The over descriptive rhetoric for scenes and peoples feelings is a good clue.

On our QoD quizz many answers have been challenged to the extent that on one occasion the obviously wrong answer was washed out. What can I believe? And how obscure should questions be?

regards to all
Roy

I feel like I am falling of the bottom of the list
Philuk👍

This use to be fun, but now it is just frustrating. 😀 At least I am at the bottom. It puts me front and center!😂😂😂

Quite so Simple👍
I also went for the 'correct' wrong right!
No idea what calendar AI is using.🙄
Cheers, Doug😎

Well I got this correct as I have been researching polar sub expeditions. But good old Ai got it wrong again. Skate (SSN-578) was the first to surface at the North Pole on the 17th March 1959. It did surface again in 1962 but that was August 62, when it did the first rendezvous with the Seadragon (SSN-584) Both subs surfaced. A commemorative envelope was produced to celebrate the occasion.

Still stuck in the arctic - and still know next to nothing about submarines!
Isn't there a shuffle button to ring the changes?

By now I have understood that only the failures are updated to me but not the correct answers. But I didn't understand why.

At least I got this one right, hopefully this will continue👍

AI navigated with a sunstone, now they are lost

Thinking about it a little deeper, it is a good job that the Vikings didn’t transit the Northwest Passage using a Sunstone or we might be in a never ending loop of questions.🤔

Just different wording for the same question we had recently!

Well, we know what AI wants for Christmas. A Sunstone extracted from the Northwest Passage.😳

What's with the obsession with the arctic and Vikings?

After one week of wrong answers i got this one. Wright 👍

Again?

I got that wrong last week so even I can remember back that far!
Roy

Well I got that wrong but right work that one out 😁
Philuk👍

This is getting silly. It certainly was not the Explorer in 1959, most of that year it was in refit and didn't get back to sea until August 1959. But an Amercian sub called the USS Skate did surface at the North Pole in September 1959. As RNinMunich says it was the Dreadnaught in 1971. There is a book about it called "Breaking Through" which seems to be a free download from here: https://www.rnsubmusfriends.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Breaking-Through.-Final.pdf

The questions are still stuck in the polar regions!

No you didn't RonH.
Our Absolutely Insufferable AI did!
Cheers, Doug😎

Got this one wrong. Hopefully will to better on Friday😊

Hmm! OBJECTION!! I demand a re-count. AI has cocked it up again good n proper this time!😠
Dreadnought is correct , but on 3rd March 1971.
Explorer was an experimental boat using hydrogen peroxide in non-air breathing engines.
There is no evidence that she ever went near the Arctic in her short career, whereas Dreadnought's visit, during Arctic Exercise 'SNIFF', is well documented.
The peroxide engines were so unreliable and dangerous to the crew that they were abandoned in favour of nuclear power, as used on Dreadnought.

😎

So many arctic questions - it's costing us money as we have to turn the heating up!

Count me out of these Arctic questions, I do'nt care even when I know the answer.
Roy

Of course I didn't get the answer. It was Russian not Canadian
