    How about this excerpt:

    "this willnkotv effect the decision of uccessful selected entrants who have answered acording to opur believed answer"

    That one takes the biscuit.

    If I were doing a venture like this and so much were at stake, personally, I would make a real effort to make sure everything was properly written and spell-checked. Otherwise it doesn't come across as professional. They don't seem to give a toss. I find the website really irritating, but then I am one of those people who is fussy about spelling.

    Edit: further spelling rant: am I the only one who feels that I am being tortured when forced to type a proper noun in all lower case letters? Arrrrghhhh! Bridge Street is a place name and therefore both words should begin with a capital letter. Yesterday's was the same. Oh well! End of rant.

    This is way way too complicated, surely the way the comp is organised is putting people off entering? I would have thought they would have more entries if it had been a simpler idea.

  • Well, they seem to have fixed the 'wrong answer' issue...
    IMPORTANT MESSAGE
    ABOUT TODAYS QUESTIONS
    Something has been afoot at the hand of the God of all things e-and high jinks.

    There have been one or two issues that have been sorted but resulted in entry routes bringing up an incorrect response to the actual
    right answer

    if you know you submitted the right answer but got a wrong answer reply do not worry as all the `correct` incorrect responses will be transferred before the selection process so that they be treated `rightly` as right.

    Thank you to all those who are pointing out such issues.

    Do not panic you have the duration of the competition and up to 20 times a day so have plenty of opportunity

    Thankyou

    Michelle

    ...but i've clicked on everything, and not gotten through anywhere! Looks like in fixing one thing, it's borked something else! :mad:
