Today’s question: I assume you mean the nearest planet to OUR sun?

I thought the same, lol

Is it a trick question and the nursery rhyme repeats itself?

Daniel, I misread the question as saying how many lines on the flag rather than stars so please can you accept my 2nd answer as the right one and not the 1st one for which I put 13. I can only put it down to lack of sleep and me being on autopilot with no sleep for the past 4 days. Thanks

You learn something new every day! I love questions that I don’t know the answers to as I have to look them up. This is the 3rd one this month, and I’ve never even heard of the man despite his website being one of my favourites. Much more interesting (to me) than the year Gillian Anderson was born, lol.

Same thoughts as below, so picked main one.

Surely a junction, by definition, is on more than 1 road but I have answered the main one 🙂

Exactly what I thought. I did the same.

Indeed. Four roads at least! I have put all of them. Do we get a point for each?

I have submitted my answer twice as I put the answer in, pressed submit then looked, God knows what the first digit was meant to say, so my second answer is my answer please

I hope this isn’t a trick question & you just mean how many zero’s in the written number not some attempt to divide by zero!

“How many days are there in a leap year? – 366” I put 29 because I was thinking of February!!!

Maggie
Member
Maggie

🦋purplevamp, you’re not alone, I put 29 as well because I was thinking of February also !! At least we get 1 point for our wrong answer ! 😳🤣🤣 I wonder how many others put 29 as the answer as well as us ?🦋

The answer to yesterday’s question should have been ‘There isn’t one’ or ‘none’ because Mr Lees’ fast food takeaway was founded in 1863.
Sorry to be pedantic lol (just saying).
I obviously knew what you meant though Daniel and got the answer right although I again wondered if it was a trick question lol.
Am I taking this too seriously?!? lmao 🤔😂🤣😂
T.x
