rschroeder

Last week's break from missions was appreciated. Now, back to it!

brett.holzhauer

Enjoy everybody, and good luck!

Did anybody else have any trouble uploading their screenshot?

Mine locked up and now it says I have already completed the mission...

silverbacksays

This looks like a fun one! Cheers wabbott & co!

I got the SS uploaded ok. For the ASA one it only allowed uploading one image though.

Rinse and repeat...

OK, no over thinking this month. Last month I missed one question because I made it harder than it was.

ecklerwr1

It happens to the best of us Richard!

geosca

For today's question, are we to assume that you have a typo or are you being tricky in seeing if we can spot the error you made in writing out the potential answers?

aronringel

Me too

please fix!

nickzourdos

Ack, my bonus survey got borked and now says I've already completed it Here's my screenshot:

bartley

Strange, i've put in the correct answer on Question3 but it's counted wrong???

naveed.masood

Very strange same here , I have submit the correct answer but its gone wrong

naveed.masood

I need another chance please

pooksuave

Apparently the answer is not what the hint says for todays question!

uniswtc

Hurray! I got it right for today's question (3rd question). Just give the answer with a space in between the 2 words from the hint .

petergwilson

Yep, worked for me too.

alexpf

Copy and paste worked for me.

colinlove

Got Q3 wrong as I followed the format requested in the question :-( (didn't see the other responses until after I had answered).....

aandersen

Pretty sure you DON'T include the " / " in the answer - as I got it wrong by doing so....

mldechjr

Same here....

blanczak

Dang I read this too late. The / got me too....

dfaegre

Apparently ALL CAPS is also a fail on Q3.... was my initial impression as it didn't announce the 150 points. But no, it was fine.

mldechjr

These type in the answer questions are problematic sometimes especially when you throw in that extra "/" in the answer. Perhaps wabbott can reset those of us that were confused by the "/" and though it should be included

kdw159

I also missed Q3 because I used the question format with a "/" instead of a space. Either the hint should have been formatted like the question or the question like the hint. This should not have been marked wrong.

Edit: Thank you. I was able to "redo" Q3 and got my points.

ew_ofd

Adding the "/" in the answer as shown is wrong? Please fix
