I can shoulder some of the blame as I'm one of the checkers. I'll make sure I'm more diligent in the fact checking and not get distracted with painting, supergluing things to my fingers or accidentally buying yet another build project.

I'd like to say the quiz is good fun, my competitive edge wants to get the answers correct, or is that wrong am I not allowed to be competitive in this day and age, however to say the answer corrections need to be at the beginning of the day to allow members not to get the wrong answer. I'd like to point out that I point out any errors a little after midnight as I'm in the UK, well before most people even see the question of the day.

For me the quiz is another way we stay in the moment. Canada time zone 11pm at night I go on to the forum and try to answer the quiz.The morning 7am I go to the forum to catch up on new posts.One or more of the posts makes me smile reading the posts and feed back from others.

Hi Pete and thanks.
I’ve asked Exeter NHS if they can upgrade to a Hamster,but no response as yet.🤞
Hopeful to get home again at the weekend.
Regards Bill.

You put my thoughts in writing Bill. I couldn’t agree more even though it gave me a point that would have otherwise been down to another blind finger stab.😀
Get well soon.
Peter.

Right or wrong the quiz is fun.I look foreword each day to find out if I may know the answer.Keep up the good work Stephen👍👍👍👍👍

Hi Stephen.
Well done and keep up the good work.
I know that people are keen to to point out mistakes/errors early to try and help but what would be nice if mistakes are pointed out at the end of the day when most have had a chance to read the question before they see the correct /incorrect answer.
Sadly, I have been predominantly in hospital since November and the Wi-Fi here is powered by a snail on a wheel. (Non brushed) with two wires touching the bed frame 😂
Sometimes it takes two hours to connect.
Not a moan chaps just an observation😁
Take care all.
Regards Bill

We may need a few more quiz checkers! The questions are mostly not fact checked and could do with being, preferably before going live.

We’ve two volunteers for this, probably could do with better controls though, some way of signing questions off almost…

I’ll work on it.

Half right Nick😉
Aquila info is correct.👍
That Bill Gates bought the Sinot Aqua with a price tag of $645mio, first reported by The Telegraph in 2020, turned out to be Fake News. The shipyard published a denial of any connection with Bill Gates.
"The Hydrogen concept Aqua is not linked to Mr. Gates (or his representatives) in any form or matter. Sinot has no business relationship with Mr. Gates. Aqua is a concept under development and has not been sold to Mr. Gates. Unfortunately, all 'information' in these recent articles is incorrect." The vessel is 112.8m.

This quiz question seems to be another which has been badly checked.🤔
So again the correct answer is none of the above!
First off, NONE of the mentioned yachts is 90m.
Aquila is 85m. $150mio.
Alfa Nero is 82m and belongs to Andrey Guryev. $120mio.
Flying Fox is 136m and belongs to Dmitry Kamenshchik. $400mio.
Octopus was Paul Allen's yacht, 126m. Fully equipped as an Ocean Research vessel.
After Allen died in 2018 it was refitted and sold in 2021 to Swedish billionaire Roger Samuelsson.

Bill Gates is not known to own or have owned any yacht. He occasionally charters yachts such as the 'Lana' for $2mio per week!!🤑
There was a rumour that he ordered a large yacht to be built in The Netherlands, to be delivered around 2022. But not one of the four mentioned in the question.
Cheers, Doug 😎
