63336 passes 24 million questions

17 October 2010

63336, the UK's first and most accurate text question and answer service, today announces that it has answered 24 million questions from over 2.3 million customers.

The 24 millionth question, asked at 2am on Sunday 17 October, was "What planets are visible from North West England tonight?" 63336 answered with "Jupiter is the only planet readily visible. Look to the east from 9pm for a bright star. You can also see the Orionid meteor shower from late October."

Jove is short for Jupiter, who was not only the supreme Roman god, but also the god of law and order – Romans would swear the oath "By Jove!" in court. As for the heavenly body, there really was no other choice of name for the largest of the planets in our solar system.

63336, launched in April 2004 and the world's first premium text based question and answer service, is designed to answer – in minutes – any question sent via premium text or from the 63336 mobile app. From the start it has led the market in providing the fastest, most accurate, and most entertaining way to get answers to any question: from trivial, to tricky, to downright troublesome. Answers are provided by a highly–skilled workforce of home-based researchers, 95% of whom reside in the UK. The service is available 24/7, even when you're abroad.

Since the launch of the 63336 mobile app, asking questions has never been easier. To download the 63336 app for free, point your mobile browser to http://63336.com/a. Customers may also follow the 63336 twitter feed @the63336.
