We’ve got £2,000 to give away to celebrate us reaching 20 million active accounts!

One lucky winner will win the jackpot of £2,000, and 10 runners-up will receive £20.

To enter, answer the following question: How many double decker buses would it take to carry 20 million people? Is it...

a) 150,000 buses
b) 200,000 buses
c) 250,000 buses?

Submit your answer in the comments below. Entries close Sunday 17th May and the winner and runners-up will be announced next week

Sorry still way too early in the day for me to work that out and be confident in my answer:) Most people seem to be saying c though

Although it says 1 winner will win £2000 the terms seem to suggest 2 winners will win £2000

ETA - Looking at the terms more carefully I think there will be another question at some point with the second prize of £2000 being awarded for answering that

    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    They are probably going with an 80 capacity DD so 250,000 would be correct.

    90000 x 200 = 18000000
    90000 x 222 = 19980000
    90000 x 250 = 22500000

    C is 22 million 500 thousand

    I do see where you are coming from but I wonder what answer they want as with 20 million people the stadiums would not be full if the answer was c. I think they should have found a question where the answer was exactly 20 million really
