Owners forum verification questions

[Solwaycruiser]

I have just joined an owners forum. I now remember that I tried to join, probably about a year ago, but gave up because I could not get the correct answer to a verification question ! This time I did not get the same question and was successful. Hooray.
Tried to post a question and came up against a number of verification questions and one of which was the same one as previous. I must be thick cause still can't answer it and will probably show myself up here.

Question is - One nautical mile per hour is one ...:

Answered -mile - nope; mile per hour - nope; nautical mile - nope; nautical mile per hour - nope now remembered last time I am sure I tried answering in metres, yards etc.
Help me please. I must be unable to see the wood for the trees.

Tried all of the answers even #4 but still no joy. Somebody is having a laugh.

Lower case k for a start, but maybe he just didn't like it.

No, compete guess I'm afraid, but glad to be of assistance.

I can't speak for the OP but as I have you on ignore I was unaware of it, until you were quoted.

Indeed. Stranger and stranger.

I would say it was the inclusion of "1 ". The "one" is already in the question (as cited), so just "knot" is called for. Spurious characters generate a mismatch.

We definitely need to hear from SolwayCruiser as I can't believe that he would not try "knot" if he tried "1 knot" as to not drop the "1" from "knot" would not make sense.

One nautical mile is one minute of latitude?

You may have answered correctly but not used the correct exactly worded answer?

I nautical mile is.... about two hours of upwind sailing! (Depending on boat!)

 

[Biggles Wader]

......a silly question by a silly owners forum that doesnt want you to join.
