    There are 22 boxes but presumably we as the player would have the 22 so there would be 21 computer contestants.
  • I still think 21, but edited the original post so people can make up their own minds rather than go with what I said :)

    They way I read it, was as you're the 22nd contestant you don't feature IN the game, but the other 21 do. So therefore only 21 are in the game you play. Thanks for this btw OP!
    Thank you to everyone who posts comps! :A
    I would like to be lucky,healthy & happy in 2020! :T

    Hmmmmm difficult one though as the 21 are referred to as computer controlled contestants...doesn't necessarily mean that you aren't meant to be added as a human contestant....

    ..... having said that this isn't a Mensa comp so I'm guessing you just have to quote what you see

    lol
    :j A-well-a bird, bird, bird...b-bird's the word :j

    The comp does say 'virtual contestants'. I think some people might be spending too much time on the comping forum and they're forgetting they're real!!!! :):)
    latest win: LOTR: Moria - thanks to catz
    - I'm moving to Australia in April - will the competitions be any good there?!:rotfl:
