I seem to be doing better these days. Now up to the average score from Belgium 93%!😊😊

Sounded like Italy when you pronounce it.
My score is getting stupidly high! And I am not that bright.
Roy

Must brush up on geography ,tut tut

Got it today…..if I missed this one I’d be run out of the country on a rail🤣

I wonder if our French contingent thanked their security services for their act of state terrorism?

I seem to remember it was for the atomic bomb tests the French insisted on carrying out.
The French eventually apologised and paid $13 for being naughty. One of the secret service operatives was released early as she was pregnant. However they were both 'honoured on returning to France.

Remembered this from the news, grey cells are fully operational this morning 😀

Nah Roy, that rumour was just a load of compressed gas🙊
😂🤣 😎

Didn't they used to have felluca clinics? I think the footfalls gradually reduced and it's probably a charity shop now. It could be that the government want them off their prescription books so you have to buy your own remedies.

Sometimes I think doctors make these things popular so they can write a paper on them.

I used to get boyles but you do not hear of them now. I think they came to a legal end with Boyles Law

Roy

Terry H. I once had a felluca on my foot. Right sore it was...

I guess I learned something in my 5th grade geography class!🙂

Here's something else new for you Doogle😉
The Gulf of California is in Mexico!
It lies between the Mexican mainland and a long thin peninsular called Baja California (Lower California). At it's southern end it is open to the Pacific.
Swimming off the west coast of Mexico is like having a warm bath☀️☀️😎😊
Hasta luego compañeros de barco.

Got it right. I once read a book by John Steinbeck called "The Log From The Sea of Cortez" so the answer clicked straight away. He wrote a good book did Mr Steinbeck..

Never been to the USA 🇺🇸, so I've learnt something new today 😀

Close but no cigar...I went for San Francisco bay

Got that wrong as was thinking of the nile when was that in the Mediterranean sea had to stop somewhere

I really wasn’t sure on this one. It sounded Greek so I went for the med. Lucky finger strikes again.😃

I think the river Nile and the Red Sea was the correct answer.

I got that wrong as the only Felucca i know is used on the river nile

Yes it does Doug..,,and I trip over patterns in linoleum….🤣

"Pride 😊 goeth before a fall 🤕" eh Doogle & Cash!

😎

Back on firm ground, mustn't rest on one's laurels 😀

Fairly easy today….think we’re getting “set up”🤣🤣🤣

The AI went overboard to be kind to us today😀
Must have read Roy's Laptop Lament 😭 and taken pity.

😎

Nice and easy 😁

Easy one today guys…😁

That was lucky. Almost went for the wrong one. Could not recognise Scott’s first names. Then, thankfully, I remembered that I always knew his first name as ‘Captain’😬😬.

perhaps it was a fast journey in some books

Who's rewriting history here?😉
The ship was first launched one year after the expedition date given in the question!
Typos?
😎

Not today, confused. com and picked the wrong one. Hey ho 😊

Not today…my first AND second guesses were wrong.

Yes good story but very much a political go at authority at the time.
Roy

Loved that story. Perhaps more so because "A Modest Proposal" was packaged in with it.😊

I didn't remember his name was 'Lemuel'.. You learn something every day!

Wow! Reloaded my pointing finger and had success. No idea of the answer today.😐

Good one today, brushing up on my 📚 📖

Hi Ron, just switch off the puzzles of the day in your my account page 👍

Stephen

How can not receive the Question and Wordle quiz in my daily emails?

Bets guess worked for me today, I’ll take it…

Didn't we have a 'Hopewell' question early on in this challenge?
I'm not complaining, this question jacked my average up to 93%😉
(Just keeping my nose ahead of Peter😁)
Think 'Germany' is being sabotaged - country average 76% and down to 11th place🤔

G'night all 😎

Portion of frogs legs please, and hop to it...

"I'll have a crocodile sandwich... and make it snappy!!"

The old gags are the best!!

Well that was snappy 😂,

Hi all, recently got interested in 'deep history' and we are in the Holocene period now which is from the last Ice age about 11,800 years ago. The word could translate to Entirely New.

The last major lot of ice to melt was in N. America around the Great Lakes but a much bigger area. It was an enormous volume of water and sea levels rose dramatically the land bridge from Alaska to Russia was wiped out. The way we were connected around Norfolk down past the Thames to Europe was flooded and the North Sea and English channel were created.

So the question answer was in the question! The UK became islands away from the continent. Before this the Thames and the Rhine came together before discharging into the sea.

Probably the Woolly mammoths and the like became extinct when the ice had gone because it snowed so much and vegetation was not available.

I hope the above might be interesting to you. Deep History is a recent Cable/Satelite programme, well presented and produced.

Regards
Roy

2010. Tories landed. Extinction event still possible.🙁

Geography not my strong point this morning 👎

Was the lump from space landing on downing street roof that caused the loss of the brains pool with all the daft policies

Is it that computer games are more in the mind of people that the extinction of the dinosaurs having been there for several 100 million years?

Yucatan peninsula is where the lump from space landed and caused another mass extinction of life. That was the 5th big extinction.
There was another more recent but not as bad. Anyone know when? Also What effect did it have on the British Isles?
Roy

Not a scooby doo this morning, pointy finger picked wrong. Better joy tomorrow 😊

I only got it because Yukatan Peninsular is featured in a computer game I used to play...

Shucks Peter, bad luck.
You musta got a duff cartridge and fired a blank🤔
Was another slightly misleading question though!
Cheers, Doug😎
