well that is an interesting question. I think the answer conflicts with the question. It asks about 360-degree of thrust which both ASD and VSP can give. However the Ai's chosen answer then seeks to qualify it's answer by saying that VSP propelled tugs are not classified as an ASD tugs. As far as the question is concerned both types of propulsion are correct. Plus. Not one of them can give 360-degrees of thrust, they can only direct their thrust through 360-degrees. Anyway enough of my ranting. 😀 Have a nice day..

Hi roycv. I agree. It is alarming at the growth of specific types of Ai which in general are aimed at specific tasks. However after watching a BBC documentary about Ai, I think the things to be worried about are Ai-Agents as opposed to just Ai. Without international controls/safe guards these could easily get out of hand and will turn out be be true Artificial Intelligence.

I guessed at todays question and got it right. To me the correct answer was the only one that looked like Latin. However, on investigation (after having answered) I found out that the answer/species shown by the Ai has actually been renamed to "Desmophyllum pertusum" So I am not sure where the Ai bots get their answers from.. Interesting subject this Ai lark.

What a cock up. I was looking at the prop walk part of the answer and not paying attention the word "bow" when I chose the answer. Of course the stern goes to port.☹️

Hi. Can someone tell me if having the Bronze subscription would allow me to go back and answer unanswered questions or at least see what they were? Also by paying for year upfront it looks like you get a 2 month discount. Is that correct?

Well once again I have been hit by the system thinking I didn't answer yesterdays question (26th). I most certainly did and got it right. It was the longest answer. Do I have to start taking screen shots again just to prove I answered it??? Can anyone check the back end logs?

Hi Alessandro.
I notice Phil could see the split question. The question asks the following Q1: " which of the following sails is set immediately above the main course on the mainmast" Q2 "what is its historical significance in sail handling during long ocean passages?" 😂

Well apparently I got the question wrong. Never mind just another 30 days to go. Just out of interest not a complaint, The question is in two parts but I only see one answer. 🤔

todays question was a stinker. I kept looking thinking I should click on what seemed obvious, but then kept thinking, this a trap 😀 so I chose as a wild guess Nickel Ore. Bingo. I have since done some research and realised the Ai is getting sneaky and trying to lead us into a fall sense of security by mentioning 2016 IMSBC in one of the answers. It is a category C item in the 2016. I think it has been upgraded to A in the latest version 2024/25

Hi Lew
I had to replace one of mine. I purchased the switch from Amazon and replaced it on the small attached PCB. A bit of care is required so that the PCB tracks are not damaged. The actual assembly is made by Flysky so would only be available from them.

Now that is interesting. There are two correct answers here. Tidal flows do change direction at headlands C. and they do accelerate at headlands B. I just happened to pick the wrong one. Never mind. I guess I should have Googled it first. 😂

I was one of them that chose the Sterling Engine because I thought there were to few nuclear subs and way more normal subs, plus it was a way too easy and obvious answer. However after I got it right. I was surprised, so I did some research and came across this.

Well I got that wrong. I read it as, what was the alternative to D2 standard. I knew from last time that D2 was the new standard so the alternative must have been the older water exchange D1. 🙄

Hi Doug. As per Alessandro's reply. You can only look back if you subscribe or give a one off donation. I have given one off donations and you can't go back so I think maybe I did not understand the donation aspect or the system is not working. Does anyone know how many people subscribe ? If we all paid the minimum it would be £2.50 x 1,805 = £4,512.50 a month or £54,150.00 a year. I would probably subscribe if it was just £1.00 a month. We pensioners are not made of money 😁

Looks like I am going to need to take screen shots again. I am sure I answered yesterday's question and got it right. But the question master says I didn't answer it. A lot going with moving house and now the builders are in. Maybe I missed it but I don't think so. If some kind person could tell me what the question was, that would be nice..

Thanks EDW for the question on the 17th. I might have missed it as it doesn't ring a bell, but I do know what a "Throat Halyard" is used for on a gaff rig. I would have gone for B

Hi. Can someone tell me what the question was on the 17th ? I was moving house that day and got up at 5:30 am to check my emails and do the daily, which I am sure I got right. However the question master says I didn't answer it.

Now that's a good question Alessandro. No one actually knows what Dark Energy is, it is all speculation. I do know it is something to do with energy contained in a vacuum. In my simple mind in order to expand, you need something to expand into. Like Dark Matter no one actually knows what it is. I have been looking into Doesn't Matter. There is a lot of it around. Most of these conjectures around the science of the cosmos can be covered by Doesn't Matter, because it Doesn't Matter.😊

This question has just reminded me of something I was going to ask the members. I was watching a BBC programme some time ago. In it there was a very modern ice breaker, which went astern into the ice. The design caused it to rise up onto the ice, thus cracking it and the propellers acted as ice crushers pushing the slush down the sides of the hull. Has anyone got any info on it or even come across it? Just add a bit more. I think it was a cargo ship and not just an ice breaker..
