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.🤔

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

Just different wording for the same question we had recently!

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!

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

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.

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

I got it right by simply using the only answer with the word 'ice' in it.
Well, I think it was, anyway!

I also reasoned by excluding three words that have precise meanings. Then I translated Ice Belt as a belt (intended as reinforcement) for the ice (not of ice).
In short, I got it right but it was of no use. Italy was 94% and remained the same even after this correct answer.
The situation has remained the same and I don't understand why. Perhaps some little problems to be solved have remained.

ICE BELT It's A question on the Canadian Citizenship Test. They didn't make my wife do the test, she was too young at the time.

Wha? you don't believe me??😁

I got lucky, and chose Ice Belt, because I knew the other 3 were wrong.

Michel C
don' t drive up the wall it is to hard and to difficult and to painfull😀

I came across this from "Marine Insights" while checking to see if it was a belt or something else.

Hmmm . . . .
What does an ice belt look like??
. . . these expressions drive me up the wall . . .
Michel-C. , your landlubber 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Considering my score, well, even a blind squirrel finds a....

Good on ya well ✔️

Broke my run of wrong answers at last!

getting P****d off with this! A new question and I have already entered? not much point in me continuing if the past is anything to go by. If I entered before what answer did I give?
Roy

BACTERIA or PLANKTON

🤔🤔🤔
What is the difference between answer C) and D)?
Both the same or ? English expressions again . . . ☺️
🤔🤔🤔

I agree DGoss99, but I have given up on the score side of it. As far as I remember the milky sea does not glow but is white from the massive spawning of coral, and it spreads for miles. I chose Bioluminescence because it mentioned a luminous white. But I only watch nature programmes that are obviously fake 😂

What Causes " Milky seas phenomenon" - Answer "Bioluminescent plankton" and it's bloom!!

I think the correct response here depends in the direction of the wind!!

I don't understand this I have only just opened up my emails and seen the Model Boat Site emails coming in. So I have opened one and tried to answer the question and it tells me that I have already answered it ???? 😠😠😠😠
I haven't been on here this morning as I have only just got up at 10:30 as I didn't go to bed until 2:3o am???😠😠🤕🤕🤕
This isn't the first time this has happened. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

It could have been C or D as really they are the same thing. I chose C and was lucky.

I chose D as well. Rats!

Chose 'D' today and got it wrong. Err! I was just starting to build my score up nicely into the 80's. Back to 77 now.

We are in the middle of the Arctic Exploration Section.

I think the next question might be: "What was the first submarine to surface at the North Pole?"

Haven't we done this before?

Got this one right. Back on the board again

Do you think that this version of AI has a serious disease of its Northwest Passage?😳

Interesting - I got today's answer wrong but my overall 30 day score has bumped me into the top 20, probably only briefly. I assume that more people got today's question wrong than usual.

Oxford Dave.
Renaming that Province may cause as much noise as renaming the "Gulf". L'Anse ax Meadows a world heritage site is estimated to be over 1000 years old.

Austing😊

It would be too obvious on a Sunday!

I bet Vikings got lost a lot

Got this right twice in row
Ask me again tomorrow.

I went for the Sunstone and actually got a correct answer.
I only went for this as I recently watched 2 series on the internet called, Vikings and The Last Kingdom and they were using these on the ships for finding they way across the seas.
As you say it may have been a Myth but these series were just for fun to watch and enjoy.

Whoo hoo! Promotion, got me 4th ring...

I’ve explicitly told Captain AI not to repeat questions. He seems to be ignoring his orders 🤔
