Phuk👍

Another thing is I can't answer the questions I missed. It sucks to be honest.

Previous days questions can be answered by tapping “< Prev”

Missing the indicator as to the wrong answers

Dont like this new screen

I know it’ll take adjustment and not be to everyone’s liking. I’ve done my best to keep all functions intact that were on the old website. If there are any specific things wrong, let me know. I can certainly work on the design and navigation. No big red button was pressed, rest assured! 😁

Is there something wrong with me????
Have I gone to sleep and woken up on another planet??
What has happened to this wesite ??
I cannot find my way around it. It has taken me nearly 10 minutes to getto this question of the day page.
I am LOST with it now.
I take it TRUMP must have got his hans on it over night and dropped some kind of mad bomb on it.
WWHY WWHY WWHY ?????????? was this done???

Are the confetti no longer falling?

Haha. I didn't realise this would be missed! 😁

I'll add it to the to-do list 👍
Update: confetti now working again 🎉

Stephen

What, in the name of all things nautical! What's happened to the website? What's happened to QOD?

Please keep the QOD going. But what a change to the web site. It will take some getting used to. The only thing missing is the answers bar which gave an indication of when you would push out the wrong answers.

Ah! Okay, now I understand how to comment on today's question.

Are the confetti no longer falling?

Did you know that Warm Caribbean water rushes through the channel at tremendous volume, helping regulate climate across the Atlantic.
Without this flow, parts of Europe could be much colder than they are today.

Mind blowing.
😎

Not many canals are 120+ miles wide, but what do I know, A.I. is in charge!
Roy

I thought it was called the Yucatan channel, bit wide for a canal.

Didn’t Trump changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America 🤣

We talked about the mystery of the Mary Celeste in another Topic some time ago.

What’s happening with this reef?

Rising ocean temperatures cause coral bleaching.
When water gets too warm, corals expel the tiny algae (zooxanthellae) that give them color and energy.
The coral turns white and becomes stressed.
If the heat stress is short, corals can recover
If it’s prolonged or repeated, many corals die.

May 4th, Left me clewless 🤣

We could say it's one of the AI's relaxing days.

That's now two in a row I have got wrong.
We never used to watch The Love Boat.
Oh well I must be on a roll of wrong answer's by the seem of it.
Will tomorrow be a tripple hat job??

Well... That May 4th question was another very lucky guess and certainly not a very educated one at that. I was going for- A or D😮😐.
Since "Fireboat" upgraded the system, I think Ai may have been let loose,or down graded, or gone berserk.🤔🤔see what May 5th gives us ???🙄.

I told you Trump had naval aspirations

After a nice long run, finlly a sailing question gets me again.
I hate sailing questions as I dont know anything about it.
Bad guess.

Well i see i am in good company at getting it wrong but i was shaw i was right owell lets see what rubbish ai will bring tomorrow🤔
Philuk👍

Difficulty is that the tack on a mast/boom setup is very different to a square rigger. Both have tacks and tack lines work in opposite directions for each setup - boom/mast pulls down, square rigger can pull up if referring to tack line, but pull down if tack is attached to a sheet!!! Nothing like simple clarity!!

Well, once again we have a load of bol..cks being asked. It asks about a line that holds the sail up. The tack holds the sail down and is not a line.
I quote from my "Parts of a sail explained" diagram. "Tack: The lower corner just below the head of the sail that attaches where the boom and mast meet. This corner is often marked with the logo of the sail manufacturer. " out of the options, only the Halyard holds a sail "up" Can we please get this question re-set?😠

May 4th is another bad question

WHAT IS THE TERM FOR THE LINE THAT HOLDS THE SAIL UPWIND FROM THE BOTTOM CORNER OF THE SAIL

UPWIND NOT UP

TACK LINE not TACK

It doesn't identify square rigger or Bermuda rig

I don't believe that I have gotten so stupid so quickly, there is something strange going on. If you double check May 2nd answer it infers Donald Trump is not a real person, like the other two wrong answers that day are not real persons. All three are not real persons so Sir William Froude is correct??

Hi Boatshed, all the clues are there but I am not going to be the rotter who spoils things for you!

Just a thought but have you ever been asked to dress up as Father Christmas?

I did it once and my 2 year old niece who could be a nightmare was absolutely gob -smacked. She got married last year and she still believes!

Roy

Hi roycv Roy,
I thoght that the Lock Ness Monster DID exsist, and Father Christmas,
My wife always lets me put out a mince pie for Father Christmas and a carrot for Rudolph and they have always gone on Christmas morning.
So he must do!!! if not WHO eats them ???
I know she likes mince pies but she's not too keen on raw carrot's, and she is always up before me ??😂😂

I think this is a worrying development. Has A.I. had a sense of humour all the time? Putting up such ludicrous options as possible answers suggests A.I. can make a joke.

The lovely Donald wishes to appear in passports, on banknotes and why not the father of the modern Navy with his Battleship in the fore! US Defiant I think he wishes to call it. The ship already exists in a smaller and more efficient form so nothing new, as usual!

I also worry that A.I. may know more than we do and has inadvertantly confessed to actually knowing that the Loch Ness monster does exist, can this be subtle confirmation?

I will not sleep so well tonight knowing this!

Roy

This time the AI ​​wanted to give everyone a point.

Im surprised trump not declared himself as the savour jesus christ himself.🤣🤣🤣
Philuk👍

Not according to Donald Trump, he is 🤣

Steve, is AI developing a conscience? Mr Spock? Commander Data?

Hi, Ross, this one should have been given to us on the 1st April 😁😁.

It at least it made me laugh.!!😆😁😂.. especially after the grumbles and controversy of yesterday's question.

and now May 3rd's QoD. Is AI attempting to grovel?? guilt??

I think that Ai 💥 has got, (to put it crudely), it's knickers in a twist over the May 2nd question.😆
I was going to put wheel 🤔 but I was also considering helm 🤔🤔 !! I thought either was correct and when I noticed just how many wrong answers to correct ones there had been, it didn't help me at all. That's when I just took a complete guess and hit the shortest answer...🙈.

They do, Captain's table or Ist Lt's table..

I agree Nick - I would wonder if they still have defaulters parade in the modern navy ?

Hey Pat. Anyone who gets done for bad conduct is likely to end up "Aft with his cap off"...

A crude meaning of CONDUCT

TO GET IT TO WHERE IT NEEDS TO GO ?

A train conductor. To get you to your seat.

An electical conductor. To get the electricity to where it is needed

Conduct of a vessel. To control the path it needs to go on to get the vessel where it needs to go.

TO DIRECT IT (PERSON) WHERE IT NEEDS TO GO

To bring Roy's point in, to direct HOW it is done

Yes I think the term Con comes from our cousins across the pond, anyone given Conduct in the RN will either be relishing the experience or more likely be very worried in case he/she makes a c*ck up.
To be given Conduct means you have full control of everything that happens on the ship - it's normally done to give prospective Commanding Officers to get Command Experience or indeed when The CO is not actually onboard.
Remember when HMS Nottingham hit Wolfe Rock - The Commanding Officer - Commander Richards Farrington was not actually aboard at the time. What was surprising about this that the CO, the XO and the navigator were all WAFU's - cant help but think what was the appointers doing !! But - because the ship was his Commander Farrington got Court Marshalled - did not do him that much harm as he ended up as a Commodore.
And just a point to note the Captain of an RN ship is the Commanding Officer - very few ships have a 4 Ringed Captain as CO its more likely a Commander these days - Not that we have that many ships now but maybe that for another discussion at sometime

Isn't "the con" more an American term?

Hi Pat you make a good case I recall, I have the conn as an expression that I was surprised to find may have come from conduct.

I have never heard conduct used as being in charge. Rather conduct being an approved manner of behaviour, like he conducts himself well.
Regards
Roy

William Hartnell in The Cruel Sea when Compass Rose left Harbour " Coxwain on the wheel!"

The helm is not a term used in the Royal Navy except perhaps in sailing dinghies - I put the wheel because the person steering a ship does exactly what he is told and has no input into direction or speed etc

In fact in the older ships they could not even see where they were going and the correct terms are either

You have the Ship / I have the Ship or
You have Conduct/ I have Conduct

Depending on the situation

My thoughts exactly, Roy, but the helm is the steering system. the question asked about the steering WHEEL

Who has the helm, or I have the helm, are in common use 'on board'.
Roy

Well at least I am not alone in getting it wrong. I always thought the HELM was the area where the Ships Wheel was, and included all the steering gear required to manoeuvre the boat/ship. The Wheel is just a part of the HELM, hence it is sometimes called the Helm Wheel. 😉 After doing much research to find out why I was supposedly wrong. I had to edit this. Ai has chosen as it's answer as a common term for the ships wheel. However after much research the HELM is definitely the means by which a boat/ship is guided through the water using the steering gear. The part that the Helmsman uses can be a tiller, steering oar (obviously a form of rudder itself), joystick or wheel all connected to the rudder. All of the interconnection apparatus, the part the Helmsman touches and the rudder is classed as the helm. The term Helm "instrument by which a ship is steered," from Old English helma "rudder; position of guidance, control," from Proto-Germanic *helmaz (source also of Old Norse hjalm, Old High German helmo, German Helm "handle") I doubt anyone will admit to the Ai getting it wrong.
