Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6th February, 2025.

6th February, 2025.

Right … the figures are in!

January, 2025, has been the warmest January on record!

I’m tempted to say ‘YAY!’ but realise that’s not necessarily appropriate.

Especially given the general feeling that the climate change this is part of … is our own damn fault!

At any rate … ?

The figures are in: showing the temperature is rising … 

And I’m wondering why on Earth my heating bills are going up … !

~≈🥶≈~

Let’s move on.


Yesterday’s Teaser saw Mum*, Olga† and Debbi‡ putting in their answers: with everyone scoring five out of five.

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

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

Q1)        6th February is Ronald Reagan Day.   Where: California, Nevada or Oregon?

Q2)        6th February, 2023, saw the death of swimmer, Greta Andersen.   She was born in which Nordic nation?

Q3)        The Permanent Court of Arbitration was founded on 6th February, 1900.   It’s in which city of the Netherlands?

Q4)        Helsinki was bombed on 6th February, 1944.   By who: Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, or the UK?

Q5)        Finally … ?   6th February is Waitangi Day.   Where: Australia, New Zealand or Vanuatu?

Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers … 

Q1)        Is five a prime number?

A1)        Yes.

Q2)        Number Five is a robot in which film: Platoon, Short Circuit or Troll?

A2)        Short Circuit.

Q3)        A pentagram is a five pointed what?

A3)        Star.

Q4)        Multiples of five end with five … or what: zero, one or two?

A4)        Zero.

Q5)        Finally … ?   The Pentateuch (pen-ta-TUKE) is the first five books of the Bible. They’re also known as which ‘T’?

A5)        The Torah.    (Much like versions of the Quran and the Bible, the Tanakh — the Hebrew equivalent to the Bible, that contains the Torah — are beautiful works of art: regardless of whether you’re a believer.)

Here’s a thought …

“Theatre was something that I always wanted to study.”

Anna Diop, born February 6, 1988.

And a song …

The next ten question set is on 19th February: it’s about EastEnders.


Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.



Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        The optical drive will come in handy, Olga.   I don’t know if you use Apple’s Music.app, but I can still import CDs into it with my drives: you will, too.   (Why buy songs if you don’t have to?)

        Geisterstille, you say?   Yeah: from what I recall of school German lessons, the language is good at those words!   You saying about being fascinating by words reminds me: there’s a channel on YouTube that might interest you, called RobWords.   He’s fascinating … !

‡        Reagan knew how to tell a joke, as well, Debbi§!   Mind you, he made Bedtime for Bonzo, a sense of humour would’ve been handy!

        I can only hope the current President doesn’t get the silly idea of increasing the number of terms he can do.   That could well be … well … ‘Doubleplusungood’ is the only world that springs to mind … … 

§        Did I ever mention Nigel Kneale’s The Year of the Sex Olympics, Debbi?   That was another dystopia that tried introducing a modified language: they’d use “You shudder me”, for “You’re scaring me”.

        Oh … and it turns out the director wanted Leo McKern for the role that eventually went to Leonard Rossiter.
