Dot to Dot - the daily 5min Alexa demo show

If you don't want to be dismayed to the nth degree by someone not knowing a single animal starting with 'N' then stop listening around half way through today's demo. You've now been duly notified.

Launched with "Figuring Out Fannee" this'll be a (clue, clue) doddle if you recall that blessed Green Glass Door skill (end of big hairy clue).

He's a star! Patrick Steggle ([email protected]) brings us two basic but brilliant trivia quiz skills today. Want to record a quick skill? Please do and send to [email protected].

If maths really isn't your bag then skip today's demo as it's bound to bring back some scary schooltest-type traumas.

Like puzzles? Like NPR? Like to play along to quizes without personally feeling the heat? Cool.

Try to ignore any derogatory comments I make about American football in this skill and simply see if you know as much as Patrick Steggle ([email protected]) about everyone's favourite ball game apart from, of course, baseball - oh and perhaps marbles (no helmets required). Oh and cricket. Oh and the other football with the round ball and a lot more kicking with your feet.

I've just finished recording today's demo and I'm too drowsy to write a proper… ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz…

Today we look at another great skill by VoxLR8. A mixture of questing (in the modest confines of a mansion, that is) and puzzling out riddles (although I haven't come across one of those yet), this skill's (nevertheless) a keeper.

Warning, warning: Earworm! Major earworm warning! BTW if this is already a well-worn meme then apologies - you know what I'm like with popular culture… Just stumbled upon it today.

Remember those fab skills; Twenty Questions and Akinator? Well now Patrick Steggle ([email protected]) shows us that Akinator have brought out one that's just about animals. See if the A-lady can make a huge guess about your chosen animal from out of the blue. Well that would be a whale, wouldn't it?
