That would be perfect to stir continuous engagement.
oh yeah, HMS Belfast was put in reserve on 1963 August 24th/28th/ December, but also 15th Oct 1947 (so 2). ==> 20.8.2026
Belfast was decommissioned on August 24th, and all the clues connected are 2026-8-8-24. Does this mean that silver box event will begin on 2026-8-8 and last for 24 days?
That is one of the possible interpretations, we’ll have to see.
would make it the 3rd quarter, not much better either but possible at least
That would put it at the 30th, so maybe

Decomissioning is followed immediately by placing it in reserve is a lot of cases (if not sold immediately).
It depends on which of the two times they refer to:
So either Q1 1963 (thus 10.08.2026) or Q4 1963 (which wont work)
You’ve got to love the different interpretations of ambiguous riddles. But I agree with your reasoning! It’s possible.

It’s the quarter of the month not year
Q1? huh?
Can’t wait for the answer that shows that it was supposed to be a simple fun thing for 5 minutes and not a complex interpretation problem that had many answers and ways to be solved

Quarter? 1/4?
I’ve already seen people on twitter doing mental gymnastics thinking a quarter is somehow 1/8 so we’ll do this;
12 months in year
Q1 = Month 1-3
Q2 = Month 4-6
Q3 = Month 7-9
Q4 = Month 10-12
It’s really poor wording in their post though, either they mean the quarter of the month the exact day falls in or the quarter (of the year) that the month is in.
Doesn’t matter, figuring out on the way is the fun part!

It’s not the quarter of a year it’s the quarter of the month
Q1 - 1-7
Q2 - 8-14
Q3 - 15-21
Q4 - 22-28
Okay now I get what you meant. had me tripping with you splitting the year into quarters and not the month
Do they have shared the answer between the mods?
