Your comment reminds me of an old Dilbert cartoon where Wally was disappointed that his request to test network speed and quality by downloading large high-quality images and videos (porn) had been denied. I've been paid to do electroncs since May '74 and computers since Dec '92. Not much I haven't seen. Ball lightning…

Re Day 18, I am totally disappointed that all error messages are not translated into pirate slang.

Check all of the correct answers and you'll be fine

Check all correct answers, which includes the possibility of duplication.

The Shortcut had a place to enter the response time, but not to upload the screenshot. I assume just the time is actually desired.

I didn't even see the Browse All... link until reading your comment. The page layout makes it very easy to believe all free tools are displayed. Another lesson in reading the fine print.

I've been burned in the same manner, which is why I objected this time.

A mild objection to Jan 23. The article states "SolarWinds Observability provides a single view of all tracked...". It may just be my ultra-literal mentality, but "single View" is not necessarily a "unified View".

HUGE STUPID FOREHEAD SLAP. In fact, I'll slap my head twice, once with each hand. All is good and I'm extremely dense this morning. Apologies.

One Summer day, several years ago, a small biz client called for help. Every time they flush the toilet, the server reboots and the boss's dog yelps. No MSP contract but we try to help because you never know when a very small biz will grow up or who they know. My tech visits, verifies it really happens, and calls because…

After submitting today (Nov 19), I was marked Incorrect for selecting C & D. I selected neither.

In addition to Aug 16 (Day 11), I have the same issue for Aug 24 (Day 17). No Green check. If clicked again, both indicate the survey has already been taken. 

Won't argue that I might have been wrong, but not for the reason stated. The "Incorrect" message was very specific. 

Agreed. Answer the question and get a green check.

Commenting again just in case it fixes the "no green mark" for Day 11. Also using exact phrasing for choices 2 & 3, jic. Visual firewall connection mapping Traffic information in NetPath

I did not select this choice.

A. Will it also finish my sentences for me? B. Read "The Humanoids" (1949!) and its sequel "The Humanoid Touch" by Jack WIlliamson. C. Guess we'll also need an AI Alcatraz D. Ooooo... 3D AI hallucinations. Trippy. E. Full personal brain dump with the ability to choose a personality based upon mood of the moment. I long to…

Another date that doesn't give a Green check?

They meant 3rd row, not column

Day 16 answer is stated in the material.

Had to use browser in Private Mode to complete the July 7 vote.

9:30 CDT here. If I have scrolled down, then clicking on any name jumps me back to the top of the page. Otherwise no effect.

I have the same issue. Click a set in the bracket and it does not open the vote. Tried in Chrome and Edge, both normal and private mode.

Yep, just have to scroll down a little.

Certainly a possibility. Likely even, given the circumstances. Overly literal me took the message to be a statement of something I had supposedly done, not the impliction that everything else should have been checked. Same literalness that utimately made me not select broader, not realizing Thwack MVPs apparently get…

I mostly liked the Xerox wax printers. Besides giving an embossed look, they would literally print on anything you could put through the feeder.
