Every day you will be given a question where the answer is a number, and your challenge is to work it out. Some answers may be straightforward, while others could require a bit of thinking or estimation. A brand new numbers-based challenge awaits you daily.
All you need to do is submit the number you think is correct. If you get it right, you will earn 2 entries into the prize draw. Even if your answer is not correct, you will still receive 1 entry just for taking part. At the end of the month, all entries will be pooled together, and one lucky winner will be drawn at random.
The competition started on 1st April 2026 and runs until the end of the month. The final question will be posted on 30th April 2026, with the winner announced here on 1st May 2026.

Congratulations Andrew well done 👍😄
Thank you Wendy!
I’ve just put “too bloody many” for today’s answer-not a fan!!
I can see your not a fan of the ‘norm’ Jacky, but I have to agree, I haven’t read any of the books or even wanted to watch any of the films. Although I find myself on the outside when watching panel shows who reference Harry Potter, or unable to answer simple questions in a quiz like “what was the name of the school”… no idea, it’s frustrating, maybe I will one day give the first one a try, just so I understand the joke or don’t look stupid at a quiz, people give you ‘that look’.. “you mean you… Read more »
Reading the first book is not really enough – you will probably find it quite juvenile as it was aimed at kids of 11 or 12. Each succeeding book aimed for an older age group. However, the later books become quite gripping and it is fascinating how the myths from many different cultures are worked into the stories. If you do decide to give the first book a go, persevere on to book 2 at the very least
I completely agree I’ve never understood this fascination with people and Harry Potter. Never seen a film never read a book. zero interest. That was my first thought “‘too bloody many”. 👍 and when I walk around the shops in my area and keep seeing Harry Potter here and there I think oh ffs not more potter rubbish. 😏
I loved this program years ago, so I knew the answer. My OH was surprised and a little worried lol that I could remember.
I had to look today’s up, I never watched Friends!
Me either!
OMG you two! I am so jealous that you could watch them, enjoying every line as if it were new, but I will only ever see repeats. It is truly one of the best sitcom ever made, it has guest stars in every one of the 236 episodes, from the great Robin Williams who ad-libbed with Billy Crystal their entire scene, to the strangest ones like Richard Branson. Have you never wanted to see Danny Devito as a stripper at a hen party? Ok, I would understand if it isn’t on your bucket list, but come on, watch Friend’s from… Read more »
I wasn’t a big fan I could watch it and occasionally I still do but for me it was easy to answer because I knew all the characters. Personally I like the theme tune better.
Well today had be racking my old brain, I’ve had to google to check in was right (I was wrong lol) but conflicting answers between 2 numbers so will see tomorrow
Strictly speaking, today’s answer should be zero. If it asked how many metres (instead of meters), that would be different. There aren’t any gas meters or electricity meters or any other sort of meters in a kilometre.
What about if it’s a km long street full of houses. 🤣
Ooo interesting today (24) I learnt something new anyway!
Ps. Didn’t use a calculator 🤣
me too
Me too 🙂
Yes, I learnt something new also.
Aside from the very first question, a calculator would have been quite useless throughout this month, so I can confirm, I too have done it all without a calculator!
We are such clever dicks!… Nope, there’s no emoji for that! 🤣
@Alison – surely 🤓🍆 would get the meaning across? And all very innocent if not 😂
🤣🤣
Yes, me too. Have answered all the other questions without a calculator as it wouldn’t have helped anyway.
I’ve also tried to restrict the amount of times I google the answer as well.
That’s so good Meera, me too, there’s been a couple of sports one I had to check and a few more, but other than that, same 😊
Same here 🤣
For Day 18, I put 28 because I wasn’t sure whether to include the 4 ‘Wisdom’ teeth. Clearly that was not the ‘Wise’ choice, lol!
Aww shame, perhaps if you’ve had yours extracted you can blame it on that?! 😉
I put both. Just to be safe.
Me too, better to explain because you can’t be sure which way it will go.
Every ‘usual’ human has 28 teeth, some also grow wisdom teeth, but not all, yet the answer was 32.
Every deck of cards has 54 cards, but we discount the 2 Jokers, even though they are in every pack.
So why have we excluded 2 Jokers that are always there, but included teeth that some people never get?
It’s all based on where the source of the answer comes from unfortunately!!! 😒
Missed yesterday because I was locked out for incorrect password. Some kind of glitch because it was the correct password and I’ve logged in with it with our problem today. Apparently, they thought I was a bot 🤣. I hope the bot got an entry for me!!
I got an email a few days ago from “WordPress”
Subject – [Free Birthdate Lottery] Account Locked.
“For your security, your account has been locked because of too many failed login attempts. To unlock your account please click the following link:”
I had not tried to log in and when I went to my Bookmark to open the site, I was still logged in from the previous day and it was working fine. Very confusing.
I had that once before as well. Frustrating. I also missed that day and no entries for me that day.
I like Alison. I have had emails saying I have been locked out. I have been locked out a few times, always saying there have been too many login attempts, which makes no sense. I can sometimes still log in, though.
I like Alison too, thanks Tracy 🤣🤣
I had no idea, so I had to look up the answer, but I think it had been looked up a lot, as it was at the top of my list without me putting all the questions in.
I literally just had to count mine.
How have I had teeth for so many decades and never bothered to count them until today! All I needed was a finger, I didn’t even have to get out of my chair! 😁
Halve that number if you’re from Portsmouth.
HARSH!!!
Especially as they have a very good dental school at the University
Today’s an interesting one – is it just the number of notes in the scale, or how it is often played, with the repeat of the root note?
I would have got it wrong if I hadn’t checked and, apparently, the repeat of the root note is the start of the next scale
My dyslexia just showed up in an amusing way, I read “how many condiments are there on Earth”, now that’s a hard question. 🤔
Interestingly enough, when I was at primary school, we were told there were 5 continents. Fortunately, I knew that the answer had changed in recent years 🤣
I had only ever heard of it being 7, it seems that it depends on where you grew up, some places in the world say 5, others 6, some just 4. Technically Europe is not actually a continent due to it not being separated by an ocean.
That means we share a continent with Russia… 🤔 I’m sticking with 7, definitely 7 continents, let’s not go there!
interesting to see what answer is given for this
It will all depend on the source for the answer
indeed!
That doesn’t tell us if you were correct or not?
I got so lost in reading articles all about the different way continents are defined and the numbers of them as taught differently depending where you come from, that I nearly forgot to come back and enter an answer at all 🤣
I had to ask other half for today’s, sport is not my forte at all!
I have answered and not included pluto as that’s been uncategorised now
My aim this month is to try to do it without a calculator, whose with me?
But you have to be honest and asking someone else to use the calculator still counts as cheating! 🤣🤣
I have never been good at maths so I’m not ashamed to use a calculator if I need to. My maths teacher had favourites and he didn’t help the ones who needed extra help in understanding sums etc. I’m getting better though and starting to see patterns etc. Good luck to everyone.
Well a good technique for some sums is to remove the zeros and add them on at the end, so for example 40 x 8.
40 becomes 4,
4 x 8 = 32,
Add the 0
40 x 8 = 320.
Please note: 320 is not the answer to today’s question, but I hope the technique helps someone. 😊
Thank you, sometimes I round up to ten then subtract depending on the sum of course. I’ll certainly use your tip.
I’m really glad that you and others have found this useful. 😊
Good idea. I too will try as many questions as possible without a calculator. Good luck.
Thanks Meera,
A calculator is not going to help with today’s anyway, so I’m still on track. 🤣
Good luck to you too. 😊
Well done to last month’s winners. Good luck with this month’s comps, everyone.
Well done lynne. On your win. Many congratulations.
Good luck to everyone for April.
Thank you Khadija, 11.25pm just noticed it. Second win for me. Yay. Thank you Daniel.
