Thanks for additional clue! I think the answer is 'respite' (highlight text with mouse to read the suggested answer). I admit that I used a list which sorts words by word length to help, but that would not have helped without the first two letters

Thanks! You are correct. In fact my reply from April 2023 states why it was no longer relevant. But it was nice to be reminded about it. :)

Could that be related to why you have issues putting in more than 8?

We've gone full circle. The early (text only) VDU terminals were black background with green text (or, from one manufacturer, orange text); then someone decided to emulate paper - black text on white background; now you can choose.

It's kind of a nasty alternative, admittedly, but I'm used to it because of a c pattern I employ all the time C++ while(count--) { ... }

Or, for a slightly more readable (but slightly less efficient) code construct, you can use the fake 'down to' / 'tends to' operator -->. It works in C, C#, JavaScript and other C derived languages but it does not actually exist as an operator. e.g.

while (count --> 0) { ... }

as it is just an unusually laid out version of

while ((count--) > 0) { ... }

and the test for > 0 is redundant as when count is positive the result is already true and when 0 it is already false. One useful feature of the --> operator is that it allows counting down to non-zero endpoints as well as just down to zero.

Because 'weird' is an anagram of 'wired'

Worst case: Twins born 29 Feb 23:45 and 01 Mar 00:15 (or 28 Feb 23:45 and 29 Feb 00:15) You can get a similar effect when Daylight Saving Ends (or Starts - I am never sure which way they go). You could have the eldest one born at 01:45, then clocks go back and the younger one is born at 01:30 but both have the same birthday.

I hope that they have fixed the feature that is my pet peeve with the current Context Menu. The Show More Options menu item is at the bottom of the list and appears whilst other menu items in the middle are still being added. Many times I have moved to the Show More Options item and clicked it but, in between moving and clicking, the menu has expanded and I have unintentionally selected Share With Skype.

The answer is 42

ER = Her majesty, the late Queen Elizabeth the 2nd (21 April 1926 – 8 September 2022). ER stood/stands for Elizabeth Regina (Regina is Latin for Queen). Add 'Her majesty' into the explanation as it was part of the query

I found the following VBScript code (ARRGH!) for getting a product key. It seems to work, YMMV. It may help as a double check for some of the other ideas given in previous responses. My PC arrived with W10 and I immediately upgraded (?) to W11 as that had come out whilst the PC was in the post and it meant that I had nothing of my own on the PC to lose. I was fortunate as it was an in situ upgrade and it picked up the old key automatically, so didn't need the output from this code. To use, save as .vbs and just double click it.

' Get Windows Product Key
' From https://www.howtogeek.com/206329/how-to-find-your-lost-windows-or-office-product-keys/

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
MsgBox ConvertToKey(WshShell.RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\DigitalProductId"))

Function ConvertToKey(Key)
Const KeyOffset = 52
i = 28
Chars = "BCDFGHJKMPQRTVWXY2346789"
Do
Cur = 0
x = 14
Do
Cur = Cur * 256
Cur = Key(x + KeyOffset) + Cur
Key(x + KeyOffset) = (Cur \ 24) And 255
Cur = Cur Mod 24
x = x -1
Loop While x >= 0
i = i -1
KeyOutput = Mid(Chars, Cur + 1, 1) & KeyOutput
If (((29 - i) Mod 6) = 0) And (i <> -1) Then
i = i -1
KeyOutput = "-" & KeyOutput
End If
Loop While i >= 0
ConvertToKey = KeyOutput
End Function

Err... What's a SWAG?

It's the first one that I have managed to get in many weeks.

Thanks for the response - my post is from 15 months ago. I abandoned TikiWiki and used DocuWiki instead. DocuWiki is a good, relatively easy to use, product (and free from BitNami on Azure). Unfortunately, the management did not like it - it looked too old fashioned for them and they decided to go with a Teams / SharePoint solution. I do not know how they are progressing with that as they decided that my time with them had finished.

Actually, it is true! That is really how I wrote my first program.
