What differentiates a bow and a stern, apart from the fact that one’s forward and one’s back? If you turned the boat around, would the bow change to the stern or would you have the boat the wrong way?
assuming this isnt satire, if you start reversing your car the trunk doesn't suddenly become the hood, it's the same with boats, the bow is generally pointed and the stern is generally curved
Most boats have inherent directionality, except maybe the simplest rafts and canoes. So the stern can be defined as the side with the rudder, or where the seats face away from, even if the boat is moving backwards.
Well, there is a scientific phenomenon called "El Nina" where the temperatures of the ocean get warmer, and all, but I think your reason is likely more why.
2nd best of all time for me, and that is basically down to me having to search a bit longer for the right answer, as I am not a native English speaker. Quite pleased.
9/10 arrgh....I'm sort of a mariner, and I do quite a bit of history reading, I was scooting, lickety-split and then on #10 I got thought it was the same poet who wrote Hiawatha....the RIme poem is very good too....and anything by Robert Service
Noooo I can't believe I got bow and stern mixed up again 😭🤣 9/10 on what should have been an easy 100% for me, got all of the others in great time, 8,938, would have made my top 10 scores if not for that 😅
Also bit of a fun Frankii fact for everyone: Coleridge went to the same school as me (don't worry, we weren't in the same year 😉)

(wasn't quick enough to get into the 9,900 range - took a few seconds on the last author question.)
Was on a roll right until the last question...
Lost a little time on the parrot question, was thinking "Salty" but then remembered "Polly wants a cookie!". Otherwise clean sailing.
