    Clue 5: Gotta love those blue links.

    So they're still banging on about the blue links, which are gaining them revenue when clicked! I wonder how many people will be clicking on all of them...

    It is an easy one to find this week, however according to one of the methods to find the image this weeks wasn't uploaded to the site until gone 10am on Monday 5th, so if someone guessed where it was before 10am then they should pick the first correct answer that was emailed in until after 10am

    So they're falsely claiming the competition opens at 8am when the image isn't even on the site until 2 hours later? How come these comps haven't been on here for a good few weeks and now they're back?

    I have contacted the IPM with screen shots that show when the image and page was updated, lets hope they can get them to do a random draw this week, and for future weeks. If a competition is supposed to start at 8am they should update the site the night before or even early in the morning before 8am on the Monday, the problem with updating the page/picture the night before is people can find the image and compose an email and schedule the email to be sent at 8am on the Monday.

    That's good to hear. Either that or change the start time to actually be when they put the image on the site, in this case, after 10am.

    I dont know whether I should post up the screenshots on here, maybe we could all email in to Abney & Teal with the evidence and ask them to change this weeks to a random draw?

    I know the rules state: -
    If you believe you have found the hidden item, do not share with anyone. This includes but is not limited to emails, forums, blogs, Money Saving Expert website. If you do your entry will be void and the competition may be forced closed with NO WINNER. Don't be a spoil sport!
    What do you think?
