Definitely a different vibe. It used to be a fun site to visit even if you weren't looking for technical info at the moment.

Something goofy with the end of the month poll for sure.

That was in reference to yesterday's question BTW. Todays was super easy.

The last two links don't work for me either. I've resorted to randomly guessing the answers, and apparently I'm not very good at it!

Nicely done Thwack team!

2 - Wireless maps 3 - Dynamic traffic maps

I tried, and I did get to explore the site more deeply than ever before, but 3 and 4 still perplex me. I have other things to do besides this game though, so I am throwing in the towel. Good for you few that got all of the eggs!

This is such a fun idea! I'm going to print it off and take it on vacation with me. I'll ponder these answers while sitting on the dock and watching the sunset.

I'm calling 19 broken as well as 20.

Let's theoretically say that I selected B on a wild guess, and it was the right answer. Sharing that information here could potentially help a bunch of people...

I didn't take my time on this one and got the red X. I'll bet there will be lots of those today.

The hint wrong for day 3, and the jm_sysadmin link recommendation didn't help either. I don't mind reading through these, or watching the videos; it is a marketing tool after all. This one though is not right.

I got them all right, but some of these answers were really tough!

I'm adding a fourth! Visual firewall connection mapping

I guess I need to read through the article more closely. I thought that I had it, but picked the wrong answer based off of this: "SAM and VIM poll cloud service APIs for cloud metrics and status."

@yumdarling I think what the others are pointing out is that the "question" isn't actually a question. It's a statement, so we're wondering how we're supposed to answer a statement.

Done! And all correct! Type in your answers carefully and make sure your caps lock is on.

Seems like alansmith has a pretty good memory.

A heck of a run of bad question/answer combos this week! I didn't even bother with the hint today and took a random guess. No surprise that I guessed wrong.

?

There can be more than one answer for this question.

This is kind of a hokey one. I think it's more how the release notes break things out rather than the question itself. From doing these for a couple years now, I find that when in doubt, there is alway a most likely answer. I'll bet that would work out real well for you.

I just have to say that this worked out brilliantly for Solarwinds! They got a bunch of people to watch their video again, and again, and again. I'll bet some of that sticks in you mind after watching it multiple times. After all, this whole thing is about marketing their product. I'm not saying it's a bad thing. they have…

It let me retake the survey and enter my information in the format recommended by Jfrazier. Not sure if it will take. We'll see if 5k points show up in my account in June.

It's pretty awful. I've looked it over several times and the question and possible answers don't go together.

This one still is not showing completed.

Hey, what happened to the hammock? I was planning on ordering a second one.

This mission isn't very good. Not learning much. I've just been randomly clicking an answer since day 10. Haven't guessed correctly since then. Oh well.

I don't know why there were four text boxes at the end. I only entered my username in the first one. Maybe I should have entered it four times to see if I could get 20,000 points!
