In your case, you still have 5 more days before your wrong answer of 25 days ago drops off. If you keep making correct answers for the next 5 days, your old, wrong answer will fall off and your score will increase by 3%.
In my score I have 26 more days before the wrong answer falls off and I go up by 3%
The game scores on total correct answers in a rolling 30 day period

Alessandro,
Aircraft engines are removable, but it's about a 6 hour process for the purpose of maintenance, repair, and overhaul.
Just being difficult and nitpicking

As Doug was saying, on a 4 engine aircraft, the 2 engines that are farthest away from the fuselage are referred to as the OUTBOARD ENGINES, the 2 engines closest to the fuselage are referred to as the INBOARD ENGINES.
I think AI is confusing the concept of internal COMBUSTION engine with internal MOUNTED engine

Question for your vessel on the bench, as is, how was the mizzen mast and boom supposed to work with the exhaust stack? Was it not a sail mast?

BIGOTTA= DEADEYE
Italian English
SLEEPING RIGGING is called STANDING RIGGING in English
This is to clarify my translation from Italian to Engish. This will be my Italian lesson for the week.
I have 40 DEADEYES in my toolbox. They are waiting to be installed

Doug, Alessandro,
So, if BIGOTTA is a DEADEYE. Then SLEEPING RIGGING is STANDING RIGGING, SHROUD LINE in English,which supports the mast, (connected to DEADEYES)?โต

Thank you Lew
I was wondering what the balance was between sail and boiler. So, sails were more for an emergency, used when the boilers couldn't function?
