Click here to enter and here for T&C's.

This appears to be a weekly competition as there are separate "weekly" draws and the question changes for each of them BUT... it does say "only one entry per person" in the T&C's. Now, I think it's pretty safe to presume that means one entry per draw - rather than one for all the draws combined - but you may wish to draw your own conclusion.

PLEASE NOTE - NEW QUESTION IN EACH PRIZE DRAW.
See thingamaBob's post below for Week 2 question (May 21 - May 27); don't forget to say thanks!
I've now posted the Week 3 question (May 28 - June 3) directly below that.
Further questions are being posted below as they appear...

See T&C's below for further prize draw dates.

There are 9 prize draws; most draws have one iTouch prize up for grabs but the first and the last draws have more. Confusingly their total adds up to 13 prizes but they state 14 in the main blurb. Also, the dates they provide seem to contradict each other but the May-July timescale must be the correct one. :confused:

PLEASE NOTE THIS QUESTION IS NO LONGER LIVE
The question for week (May 14 - 20, with 4 iTouches up for grabs) is: (not sure if they will change through the weeks yet)
NIVEA FOR MEN® Deodorant Silver Protect uses silver to offer effective anti-bacterial protection. But what is the chemical symbol for silver?
  • Au
  • Ag :D (thanks to ... Mystic Charm and Tricardo below for correct answer!)
  • Al
Searched: MSN+ipod, nivea+ipod
Suprised this hasn't been on before and it does look vaguely familiar but I can't find it in search.
Many tx to all who post constructively in all the forums!:beer:

    I've just realised that the T&C's say you can only enter once per person. They don't say it's once per draw so you have to assume it's once for the whole competition. Can anyone find any evidence to the contrary?

    The wording on the comp page is "this week we're offering you..." so maybe that is a hint? If the comp Q or text changes at the start of the next draw, that would indicate once per draw not once per person.

    Well it's May 21st and the second draw has started but the question hasn't changed.

    The question has changed now.
    Which British athlete picked up a silver medal for the triple jump in the 2008 Olympic Games?
    Answer - Phillips Idowu
    Perhaps it is a weekly entry then.
