I wondered about this one though...
It's titled "Are you a fool".
Then they say "£1 for each correct answer, £2 if you get them all correct"
All answers are TRUE.
So...read the tag line again. Are they saying £1 for each correct answer...BUT if you get them ALL right you'll get £2 - in total!?
I have a sneaking suspicion that's what's going to happen. Also explains why you don't get the vouchers straight away...they don't want word to get around.
I took a screen grab though, as the text that appears at the top of the quiz is slightly different to that on the banner.
"£1 for each correct, and all correct gets a £2"
The crucial extra word there being "AND".

I put the last one as false because i also think you would get less for getting them all right
worth a go isn't it good luck evey one 0 -
only one entry er household0

One thing i was wondering was if you get them all right you will get a £2 voucher and if you get them wrong you would just get a £1 voucher sent for each one that is correct, ie a single £1 off total spend voucher for each.
I am a cinic (spell?)0 -
Don't know if this is an April Fool in itself, but the CDWow website has a quiz in which you answer questions about past April Fool pranks, and each correct answer gets £1, but if you answer all of them correctly you get £2 (mmm...)
All the answers are true, by the way.
Finishes tomorrow!
btw- might not be a good idea to use the above link, as I've just read in the t's and c's that they don't accept entries via forums- don't know if they can tell where the above link originates from?0 -
Another way of looking at it is that there's only 1 correct answer (true) it's just that it's repeated 12 times!pmlJust become FTBs & Aiming to be mortgage free by 2034

Thank you to all who post on the comps/freebies forums you've helped us save our deposit :money:0 -
