If you want to go into the draw it's best not to try for a quick time. I'm not really interested in the champagne, just doing it for fun so I don't mind if I tilt.
To get in the draw and get a quick time you have to make sure that you don't start typing the answer until a full second has elapsed on the clock but must start typing immediately 1 second has elapsed. If you can watch the clock and type without looking you are on to a top time..

Looks like only 8 entries today, 4 are definitely MSE'rs and I suspect at least 2 of the others may be as well. Looks like it's not particularly popular outside MSE so you would think that someone would have won.

Yeah I have been doing it most days! I'm second today at the mo so you can work out who I am! Still no champagne for any one then? I haven't really read the T & Cs so not really sure how they are allocating them? At first I thought it was if you were 1st but seen as we all have an equal chance you would have thought someone would have had some mini champagne!

Thankyou for that! Only one a week, you think they could make it a full one! Oh well, I'm doing this one for fun!

Condition 3 seems a bit odd, it says one entry per person per household. If it's only one entry per weekly competition, what's the point of a different puzzle every day?
