Hi yumdarling Got the correct answer but points weren't awarded for today's question. Thank you.

dbriden

Same here correct answer but no points

JaroslawLadyga

Got the same.

grizzlyferrett

Same here. Answered correctly but no points

yumdarling

Thanks for letting me know. I'll look into it a little later this morning.

femiodejide

Same here, no points awarded

shaneo

Dido, right answer no points.

amore1329

Yeah, same here. No points. Great videos, though. Lots of great information.

yumdarling

Thanks guys. I saw that there's an issue and I'll work on fixing it, promise.

No need to continue to comment about this issue until I update.

What do you think of Q1?

scott.driver

I got it wrong, fair and square!

I just wanted to say thank you yumdarling for your daily support of these questions and those of us to check them on the daily!

asheppard970

Good question, Yum...the answer(s) is(are) actually different than I thought, so I learned something.

One thing though: the hint intimates that the link will take folks straight to the video that they need to watch in order to find the answer(s) ("Find your hint about 45 seconds in"). However, the first video on the resulting page does not have the answer(s)...one must look at another video down the page in order to find the correct answer(s). Perhaps using a link directly to the page section with the correct video would have helped, other than the header coming in and covering up the section title; or telling folks on which section title they need to click when they get to the page.

Other than that, well done! Thanks for putting together another monthly mission. These missions are fun, educational and by golly, we can get some cool swag just for paying attention in class!

amore1329

Question was good, yumdarling. Hint was right on, if you go to the right video. Thumbs up.

melonizame

So tempted to say something...... yumdarling I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy your time away

matter of fact I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

klevans8907

Same here

tonedepear

Would love subtitles for these video hints.

jmbourn

Just replying to make sure I'm accounted for, no points here either. Thanks!

jeremymayfield

That was tricky, it was a video dup. You have to look at the right video.

jeremymayfield

Same to me yumdarling no points.

ferrashoo

Love the new challenge. Keep them coming.

dsimpkins

Ah that's were i went wrong and got a red X for it, live and learn

network_defender

No points for answering correctly. Curious.

brianj

I wanted to let you know that I didn't get points for anything else so the issue goes beyond the monthly mission.

fakeusername

Same here. Maybe the points will show up later?

bootstraps

Correct answer with no points.

df112

I wondered how I missed it. First video was very vague and I just guessed from there. Having said that a little voice in my head was telling me to check the one I missed because it seemed like it must be true. Should have looked further. Live and learn.

asheppard970

BTW, GEEKS, grrrrrrrrreat prizes this month! My wife is totally into "sky stuff" and that projector would make a cool Christmas gift...even if I don't win it here!

melonizame

YEA asheppard970 the prices are out of this world this month...........

yumdarling

Thanks for the patience with the points situation everyone!!

Everyone should have their points from today in their account (if you didn't get them this morning via the automated magic, I added them manually just now).

If you think you're still missing points from today ~*~*~*DM ME*~*~*~ and I'll check on your account on an individual basis

Thanks friends! Enjoy the rest of the mission. It's a joy to bring these to you each month.

Yum

@yumdarling In my activity I can see you have added 150 "undefined" points but curiously it hasn't increased my total!! (Sadly i made a note before hand so can tell!!)
