    In advanced dock engineering, which specific type of dock is designed to allow a vessel to be floated in, then isolated from the sea by a watertight gate or caisson, after which the water is pumped out to expose the hull for inspection and repairs, and is characterised by permanent shore-based construction rather than being a floating or mobile structure?

    A. Slipway
    B. Floating dock
    C. Syncrolift
    D. Graving dock

    Select your answer above. Good luck!

    OK lets go through it. There are 30 dashes under your avatar. Blue is right answer, red is wrong answer and the light grey is failure to answer.

    Each day one drops off on the right and another unanswered one comes on to the left in light grey. Your score then drops by 3% and the unanswered heading goes up by one.

    You answer correctly and the left dash goes blue and your score goes up 3 %. If wrong it goes red and your score stays as it was.
    You have 24 hours to answer the question before the next day, then the dash stays grey.

    You can monitor your own score by looking at the dashes blue is one, red and grey are zero, with 30 dashes, i.e. the last 30 answers work their way along. The two columns at the end are headed unanswered and wrong to separate the red and grey.

    I think that covers it, so no mysterious algorythms just a bit of arithmetic.

    There several graving docks in the Wallasey/Birkenhead dock system, most now filled in but Cammel Lairds maintain one in the West Float. Lairds also have one or two in the yard proper...

    Just a good guess today. I have never heard of a dry dock being called a graving dock, but to me it was the only shore based option based on the last part of the question "characterised by permanent shore-based construction rather than being a floating or mobile structure" ๐Ÿ˜

    The majority of questions can be answered by careful reading of the question, there are usually clues to the answer within. For example, re the question about working condition regs., the answer was obviously (to me at least) the Labour regulations as opposed to SOLAS regs. This last question, regarding dry docks, the fact that the question mentioned attached to the land could only mean the answer was graving dock, as a floating dry dock isn't constrained by land. Careful reading of the question, followed by a process of elimination, starting with the eliminating choices that it could not be before referencing possible answers with the text of the question. As for leader board positions, I never seem to get past third, even after a long run of correct answers. All part of the fun.
    I will leave you with this question. If it takes a week to walk a fortnight, how many apples in a barrel of grapes?

    Thanks - I do enjoy the questions and I never ask Mr Google until I have answered - and then only if I get it wrong

    I do find some of the question very obscure - personally - I would like to see more questions about the Royal Navy ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I donโ€™t mind the piss taking as long as it stays light hearted
