Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7-2-2026 — Grenada

7th February, 2026: Grenada.


Yay!

It’s Saturday … !

Which means … it’s the day after Friday, the day after I had an electrician visit.

It’s something I’d arranged a couple of weeks ago: as I’d had a couple of minor — very minor — electric shocks from the old switch.

Something the electrician told me wasn’t too risky: but agreed that I right in requesting the repair.

I was better safe than sorry.

Just as a quick question … ?

I use Transmission if I ever need to download stuff via torrent: there’s a lot of open source software you can get that way.

Are you using it, as well?   Version 4·10, on a Mac running macOS Tahoe 26·2?

Are you getting problems?

Funny error messages, non-existent progress bars, what have you?

If you do, and have successfully done something about it, can you let me know, please?

Cheers!

Let’s move on.

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Mum* and Debbi† putting in their answers: with Debbi scoring ten out of ten, and Mum on nine.

The day also saw Olga‡ leaving us a message.


 Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Here they are, along with the How To, License and video.

Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers …

Q10)        Finally … ?   Marlborough, Hawke’s Bay and Canterbury are some of New Zealand’s well known what: beers growers, wine regions or whiskey distilleries?

Grenada’s motto.
And Grenada's national anthem …


The next ten question set is on Saint Valentine’s Day: it’s about YouTube.

AI is avoided when writing these questions.

Answers are as accurate as possible: at the time of writing.

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.




*        Hello, Mum!   (Wellington’s on North Island, Mum, not South Island.)

        I think the police are happy to pose for tourists, Debbi.   Where you’d have to be careful is with the Household Cavalry: the horses are combat trained, and aren’t tourist friendly.   (People really need to pay attention to the sign …)

        OK: we’ll catch you when you’re next in, Olga!
