Sky TV questions

When you enter comps for Sky TV, you get asked:
'I currently subscribe to Sky Sports: Yes/No
I currently subscribe to Sky Movies: Yes/No
I do not currently subscribe to either Sky Sports or Sky Movies: Yes/No'

What is the point of the third question when the first two have already asked???

    Probably to make sure you are human - and not an automated robot entry

    Obviously if you answer NO to Q1 & Q2
    then Q3 has to be YES

    A robot entry would mark all 3 as NO
  • If Q1 and Q2 were 'no', wouldn't Q3 be 'no' also?


    'No', I do not currently subscribe......

    I've often wondered this when entering these competitions.

    In my head I think I am saying 'yes that is correct. I do not subscribe to Sky'.

    But what if you subscribe to sports but not movies, how do you answer the final question then. One Eye's given potential answers, but it looked far to complicated for me!

    Correction: in my head I am saying 'what's with these goddamn stupid questions. Just give me the prize... Please!'

  • It would be 'no' I think because actually you do to sports. Yes would be if you didn't subscribe to either.
