Nokia "Capture the Night" thread

What happened to the thread? I was subscribed and when I followed a notification through the thread has gone, did someone ask for it to be removed?

    Hope it wasn't something I said. :o

    I posted this morning pointing out that sharing the answers on the forum was irrelevant because given the length of time the competition was running two people had enough time to try every possible time for each picture.

    Anyone with a friend or partner would be guaranteed 15 entries regardless of any sharing or effort.

    Next time I looked the entire thread had gone !!!! :eek:
    Well, you know, my ancestry isn't all hamster.
    I'm one-sixteenth wolf with, you know, a little wolverine in there somewhere.
  • I can't say I agree with the interpretation of the rule which would make it against the rules to share answers.

    If that was indeed the point of the rule, then collaborating with a friend/spouse/partner is against the rule as well.

    I agree - looking at the contentious bit in the T&Cs again, it's clearly aimed at people who hack into the comp itself to cheat or commit fraud against Nokia. Sharing answers that a few friends have (legitimately) worked out can hardly be classed as fraud.

    I got my answers in before it disappeared, but my OH isn't happy - she was planning to enter it, but hadn't had time yet!
    Could be a lot of 'discussions' in the unlikely event that my entry wins one of the phones!

    Luckily, I wrote them all down on a piece of paper so I could continue my method of going up by a minute at a time for each one x I was only a maximum of 10 mins out on the few I hadn't guessed so I thought I may as well continue with the method otherwise it might look a little 'sus' if I just entered the last 4 on my first guess, if you get what I mean. But I will be leaving the paper out by the PC in case my hubby wants to enter but he can never be bothered with these things lol
  • Which competition is this please? It sounds like it requires a bit of effort so I better start trying to solve it now :)

    Nice to see so many sites moan about us, yet forget other sites that also share answers ;) A little bit of warm hints :)
    Thanks to all posters :A
