Very annoying question

[AntC]

Presumably because I am a newbie here, I have to answer a question before posting. Fair enough. But when the question is "what colour is a carrot?" and I put down orange and am told the answer is wrong.

I thought you were all vegetable gardeners on here!

How many posts do I have to place before I am rid of this ridiculous charade?

We will pass on your angst

We as moderators have no control over the technical side of the forum.

Carrots come in many colours, would be the correct answer - honestly

You are posting now, aren't you? The questions are just to make sure you aren't a robot, I presume, so don't get too cross with the system..

I have grown purple, yellow, and white carrots...

I had that question and had to stop to think for a bit. The answer is "carrot-coloured" obv…

Weren’t carrots originally purple & things have happened to make them more friendly looking they made them orange? It’s a difficult question to catch out the robots.

Once you've found the answer to the colour of carrots, prepare yourself for "What is the colour of grass?"

That's a really hard one - especially if you're a robot.

I seem to recall that around post number ten a lot of annoying things stopped happening.

Pretty old style tech running this site - doesn't stop it being great though. Grin n bear the pain at the start of the 'Process' - (reference - my missus is watching Apprentice right now)

Once that process is out of the way... well, YMMV but its worth sticking with it (the site)

Didn’t have questions when I was a seedling. Which I’m very pleased about.


Or have I mentally blocked out that annoying bit.

I've asked Admin to check this out. Clearly a glitch they need to look into.
Thanks for letting us know about it.

Keep posting...

What colour is the grass?
All the colours, man...

I tried that answer and was told that it was also incorrect. To reply to your post, I had to answer the question "what colour is a blue coat" and, believe it or nor, I got it right!

[AntC]

Thank you for your replies and offers of help. I'm not leaving you all - there isn't another forum on this subject that comes close!

Thats good to hear Ant you might have hit the 'magic' post number so no more carrot questions.

Well done, Ant. That's a really difficult question.
You'll soon be able to do all sorts of extra things too - like edit your profile and post photos of your plot - 'cos we're a nosey lot (not me, of course)
