    There's an ad in today's Mail on Sunday for a mailonline competition but I can't get the link to open. The ad says:

    "Explore the Hidden Treasures of South Australia...


    and for your chance to WIN an iPad2 or wonderful Australian wine, visit: mailonline.co.uk/southaustralia"

    I can't find the competition posted but don't want to add a post as I can't get the page to open (and I don't know the end date etc)!

    Does it work for anyone else??
    Hmmmm, need new siggie :cool:

    HI just want some advice please, i have seen some competitions on the hmv website

    http://hmv.com/hmvweb/navigate.do?ctx=1000;-1;-1;-1;-1&pPageID=2753&clickID=hp010213

    You have to be a member to enter them for free, but then i have just noticed that you have to pay £3 to become a member see here (i don't remember paying to join) anyway:

    http://hmv.com/hmvweb/navigate.do?pPageID=3605

    What do you think? can i still post them? or not bother?

    Thanks

    The upper comps on this page need you to pre-order something, but you can enter without any purchase by post. These comps are OK to post in the postals section.

    The purehmv comps at the bottom require you to have their loyalty card (which costs £3 at the moment) but if you already have one they are free to enter. I reckon this makes these comps similar to those that say "Sky customers only" or "Orange customers only" which are regularly posted here (it's not free to be a Sky or Orange customer), so they can be posted but you need to put "purehmv cardholders" in the title so that those without cards can pass them by.

    eg. E: 13/01 Win One Direction tickets Dublin 24/01 (purehmv cardholders)

    PS. I haven't checked to see if any are posted already.

    Perhaps my search has simply failed to find this - is there a limit to the number of different phone numbers you can use to enter ITV comps? I have 2 land lines and 2 mobs. e.g. do they monitor entries from the same IP addresses to reject too many entries from the one computer? or too many entries using the same email but different phone numbers? (must be a few methods to ID multiple entries). I'm sure this must have been asked before but many thanks if someone can advise.

    Hi, fire***fly

    Is there any way the answer could be 'LAPTOP'?:o

    hiya chrissie,
    i'm sorry, i've not the foggiest idea :o i've tried allsorts of combinations & the mag doesn't give any clue or help how
    to help solve the puzzle, usually codewords you just put the letter which they give you in the numbered relevant squares,
    but this one has 2 numbers in some of the squares,
    i assumed the 6 would be A, 18 Y etc but must be wrong,
    would be great if you could show how you figured out LAPTOP for the answer :j
    this one has me stumped :o
    thanks for replying & helping, you're an :A

    Hi Korks

    The solution has 6 letters so the bottom number in each circled box is that letters part of the solution (numbered 1-6) and the top number is the actual letter code, if that makes sense?
