    Is it just me lol - I'm still confused! Are we meant to send the answers in section by section? Is it £1,000 prize per section? I can barely fit one section on, let alone 7 if they all need to go on one postcard lol! If it's £1,000 for all sections, I can't see how they'd draw it.

    Cheers in advance,

    Jx (being a bit blonde, probably)

    No mention of postcard, but see below.

    I haven't seen a copy of the paper, so cannot be sure what's wanted. [STRIKE]However, something I've seen on answerbank ( click link) suggests the questions might be multiple choice. Daily Mail ran a similar format quiz previously (last year?) with entries on a coupon, or coupon printed from the website.[/STRIKE]

    I am happy to work from a scan of the newspaper, if that can be made available. I've looked for the questions online, but no luck so far.
