    I have just emailed them letting them know that the correct answer should be 26 but that 26 is not an option.

    COMPETITION ENTERED SUCCESSFULLY
    Here are three things you need to know.

    1. You might win it, you might not.
    2. If you do win it, we'll be in touch.
    3. If you don't, we won't... but you'll still be a winner in your own special way.

    I hope they realise it was their mistake and still enter whoever entered with 26. Slightly unfair if they don't.
    Thank you to everyone who posts comps! :A
    I would like to be lucky,healthy & happy in 2020! :T
