    Am I missing something? I couldn't see anywhere to put a guess. And I spent ages looking at them damn spiders :eek:

    Is the guess just for on-air entries? :confused:

    Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself.

    The online entry doesn't require a guess. You only need to make a guess if you enter the on air competition.

    Judging by the terms and conditions the online entry is just to register for the on-air competition, rather than being a separate competition in itself. You need to be contactable at certain times and happy to talk on air.

    I received a call from them earlier in the week after registering and was asked to take a guess at how many spiders were in the van without having seen it.

    I guessed at 550 and they said it wasn't a bad guess but there were more than that so I didn't win

    I don't know if I was on air or not but it was about 8am when they rang.

    I received a call from them today and think I was on the radio, not sure. They called me just after 8am. Wonder if anyone here finally won it, I couldn't have been too far out as they told me the two amounts it was between (both 1900-something, I think, and I guessed at 1939). Wish I'd won it... ah well! Never mind! :D
    2024 wins: *must start comping again!*
