posting this now incase I forget or if nobody else spots it tomorrow

follow - https://twitter.com/ThreeUK

tweet - @ThreeUK #redthumb and @ThreeUK #bluethumb (see last T&C)

Tune in to Twitter at 10am tomorrow and simply tweet which thumb you think will win with either #redthumb or #bluethumb. Anyone who guesses correctly will be in with a chance of winning a Samsung S5.

from the T&C's

The Competition is split into rounds, the first of which will start at 10am on Thursday 24th April 2014 and the final round will close at 3pm on Friday 25th April (the “Competition Period”). Each round will start with the posting of a video clip of a “thumb war” between a red thumb and a blue thumb on @ThreeUK’s twitter feed, and will end with the posting of an extended version of the video, which shows the winner. No entries for the round will be accepted once the extended video has been posted (each a “Round”).

To automatically qualify for entry, entrants must watch a video clip, posted on @ThreeUK of a “Thumb War” and submit who they think will be the winner of the bout, by tweeting either “#redthumb” or “#bluethumb” to @ThreeUK during the Round (“Qualifying Entries”). A user can tweet to enter as many times as they wish and may enter subsequent Rounds (this means you can enter both colour of thumbs for the chance to win in every round :) although this means the serial tweeters will be all over this )

    People get round that by adding . , x ! and little things like that. Click on either # and you'll see what I mean

    If you put a . after your 2nd tweet and then .. after your 3rd and so on, Twitter will allow you to to tweet it again.

    if you wanted to tweet agan you could add a random comment to the end of the tweet.

    But, also see condition 4
    ....Three reserves the right to disqualify any entries which it deems, at its sole discretion, to contravene the spirit of the promotion...
    I wonder if that would also exclude tweeting both options? ;)

    * * * * *

    I have been through the terms & conditions 3 times (no pun intended) and cannot see where it says you have to tweet the winning thumb to be a winner. T5 says To automatically qualify for entry, entrants must watch a video clip... and tweet.
    T6 says The winner of each Round will be selected at random from the Qualifying Entries...

    Only their tweet mentions that the winner must have guessed the winning thumb.
