    Because the number of points depends on how many right answers you got and how quickly you entered them
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.
    (Wisdom, Courage, Self-control, Justice)

    Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change

    additional restrictions/conditions, which may be stated in the Declaration of Eligibility &
    Liability/Publicity Release, which must be signed and returned prior to awarding of the Prize.

    of the Selected Entrant. Any depictions of a prize are for illustrative purposes and may not be

    defamation, invasion of privacy, copyright infringement, trademark infringement or any other
    intellectual property-related cause of action. Sponsor is not responsible if Contest cannot take
    place or if prize cannot be awarded due to acts of God, acts of war, natural disasters, weather or

    decisions of sponsor and judges which are final and binding in all respects.
    9. GENERAL: All decisions by Sponsor are final. Releasees are not responsible for lost, late,
    illegible, misdirected entries or transmissions, or problems of any kind, including but not limited
    to printing errors, whether mechanical, human or electronic. Releasees are not responsible for
    technical, hardware or software malfunctions, lost or unavailable network connections, inability
    to access a website or fraud, incomplete, garbled, or delayed computer transmissions or
    inaccurate transcription of entry information, whether caused by the Sponsor, users or by any of

    human error which may occur in the processing of submissions which may damage a user’s
    system or limit a participant’s ability to participate in the Contest. Sponsor reserves the right, in
    its sole discretion, to cancel or suspend part or all of this Contest at any time without notice, if in
    the opinion of Sponsor there is any suspected or actual evidence of electronic or non-electronic
    tampering with any portion of the Contest, or if virus, bugs, non-authorized human intervention
    or other causes corrupt or impair the administration, security, fairness or integrity and proper
    play of the Contest. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not
    constitute a waiver of that or any other provision. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify
    entrants who violate the rules or interfere with this Contest in any manner. If an entrant is
    disqualified, Sponsor reserves the right to terminate that entrant’s eligibility to participate in the
    Contest. Disputes regarding these Official Rules and/or this Contest will be governed by the

    and binding arbitration, to be held in Los Angeles County, California, before a single arbitrator,
    in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1280 et. Seq. The arbitrator shall
    be selected by mutual agreement of the parties or, if the parties cannot agree, then by selecting an
    arbitrator from a list of arbitrators supplied by jams (judicial arbitration and mediation services).
    If the parties still cannot agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be appointed by jams. The
    arbitration shall be a confidential proceeding, closed to the general public. The arbitrator shall
    issue a written opinion stating the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator’s
    award is based. The parties will share equally in payment of the arbitrator’s fees and arbitration
    expenses and any other costs unique to the arbitration hearing (recognizing that each side bears
    its own deposition, witness, expert and attorneys’ fees and other expenses to the same extent as if
    the matter were being heard in court). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitrator may require
    that such fees be borne in such other manner as the arbitrator determines is required in order for
    this arbitration clause to be enforceable under applicable law.
    Entrants further understand and agree that they shall have no right to enjoin or restrain the
    advertising, promotion, distribution or exploitation of the Contest.
    Entrants acknowledge that the internal substantive laws (as distinguished from the choice of law
    rules) of the State of California and the United States of America applicable to contracts made
    and performed entirely in California shall govern the validity and interpretation of these Official

    Quoting myself here lol. I could only enter this once. I have just checked the link and it takes me to the page where it shows my measly score of 291. But wait, I only had 281 when I entered the other day?

    Also the famous comper's score that was 654 is now 924. I am totally confused with this!
