(Fire Boat) 34" Aerokits Crash Tender
Can't really complain about this setup, the boat performs well and the battery life is also very good considering the performance it delivers. (Motor: Mega X Motor) (ESC: Barracuda) (9/10).

@Doug, the bug was more a function of changing how push notification messages are sent. Iβm utilising the whole header, subject and subtitle parts of push notifications now. So anyone using apps will now see a little more detail in the notifications.
I just managed to break emails at the same time π

Hi All, bit late replying here, but Iβll swap yesterdays answer to Endeavor later today or tomorrow (busy days at the moment!) so youβll be honoured with the point for the 15th once I get around to it π

If everyone is in agreement, I'll retrospectively change it to Frigate π but I'll await more feedback. I see most have actually put Galleon so far. We can safely say it's not submarine at least π

π Question of the Day?

I can confirm the calculation if anyone wants to figure out why a number would go down if answering correctly?
Player Average % = Total Correct (last 30 days) / Total Answered (last 30 days) x 100
I can't think of a reason either. The only oddity that I can see might occur is in the 30 day calculation, which isn't whole days, it's to the second... 60*60*24*30
I'll leave this brain teaser out there π

π Subscriptions

Dave, itβs never been subscription only. Subscriptions are optional and depending on the level, remove ads and make the experience much nicer. Functionally you can do everything still having no subscription.
This is also why everything is managed through PayPal. Everything is compulsorily above board. Iβve no time to manage direct debits or anyoneβs payment details. Notifications have been sent to those few affected. A mass comm would be ridiculous.
Indeed, website bills have gone up, itβs expensive to have apps in all the app stores, web hosting has only gone one way, storage costs only increasing with the content being hosted increasing too, database backups cost, domain names and security certificates cost.
Iβm sorry Iβve offended by not sending personal emails in advance of the PayPal comm, but at the end of the day, if the cost is now too much, please just unsubscribe. I run this, as you know, in my very limited spare time.
Around 10 members were adjusted on price. Plus a few who simply had a description change from βWebsite supporterβ to βBronze etc membershipβ and this is simply so the website code knows what membership type someone is.

Membership costs havenβt actually changed since Jan 2022.
Β£2.50 Bronze
Β£4.50 Silver
Β£6.50 Gold
For those who subscribed earlier than that, itβs not entirely fair on newer members if costs arenβt equal to all.
If youβre one of the few with changes, youβll have been informed at least 14 days before the next payment and perfectly entitled to cancel before then.
I know how costs of everything these days are increasing, but this is to align all members.

Thinking on the "4 with clue" which has become the standard...
Should we allow a clue at any time? But have a one line penalty when used?
Open to thoughts!

If anyone gets todays as a first guess, Iβll be suspicious of cheating π€£
Bombero, I checked on this, you put YEPHSR as your last line, but it's ZEPHYR. I had to check in case it was a bug, but I don't think it is π
Also those who have had double entries of the same word, thatβs happened to me now too, I've added a check to prevent repeated lines, so we shouldn't see that happening anymore π

π Stopping "Wordie" and "Question of the day"

Hi Lew,
I've made some tweaks and now when 'Puzzles of the Day' are switched off in my account, it'll be as though they don't exist. You shouldn't see them online or be notified of any new posts in the respective threads.
You can still get to the threads from the forum page, but that's all.
Thanks! Stephen

Lew, I am going to add a toggle for this in the My Account section. I realise itβs not for everyone and I donβt want the two puzzles to take away focus from the other great content on the site. Thatβs really what itβs all about more than the puzzles π
Iβll switch it off on your account as soon as Iβve added the functionality.

π Question of the Day?
7 months ago by
π¬π§ fireboat (

Flag
Some changes from tomorrow:
* Lots of poor future Q's have been deleted
* They'll be the occasional repeat, as Q's are no longer scheduled, but picked at random, so old ones may come around again
* They'll now be an explanation of why the correct answer is correct and why the other options are not.
* Some Q's will have comical 'incorrect' options, it should be about the fun more than real intelligence after all!
* Most Q's have been checked, so more confidence here, but I can't 100% guarantee something wont slip through the net still. Let's see!
* No more 'who owns this super yacht' type Q's
* Less Q's on sailing and rigging
* As much as possible the Q's are internationally applicable
* Less banana's required π
* Added the %'s of how many have gone for each answer. You can see the number of votes by hovering over the %.
-- If anyone has the enthusiasm to put together more Q's, fun ones! With fun answers, in an excel sheet / google docs, let me know π
Thanks,
Stephen

I canβt fix the answer right now, but Iβll swap it to staysail and update everyoneβs scores later today! π
Meanwhile thinking again what can be done to improve the daily questionsβ¦
Scrap sailing questions, more historical nautical questions (these seem to be popular), I did consider the option of a free text βnone of the aboveβ option, but realistically we want these questions to be factually correct in the first placeβ¦ I think well referenced evidence of the correct answer and reason for it should be added too.
Once Iβve time to work on this, I will do. The last thing I want is everyone to be annoyed at the inaccuracies of it all the time.

Stephen T, did you use the clue at all? π€ it's free to use it after line 3.
Clue today:
___ Boat. A vessel designed for transporting a tropical fruit known for its curve
This word was really added for Colin, since his lack of quality banana's seems to be what's caused him poor results of late π€£

I did change the clue, but actually canβt remember what the original one was now! Maybe Colin can remember? It wasnβt originally a very good clue though.
