Guinness World Records confirm that the longest river in the world is the Nile.

I got 20/22 from these answers will I still be entered?

The terms are badly written and full of mistakes. But from what I can make of them, you only need to answer one question correctly to be eligible to win the online competition, and the winner gets £400 per correct answer up to a maximum of £2,000 (T&Cs say £200 but they're riddled with errors).
So probably all entries are entered and they'll just check the winner's entry for the number of correct answers.
The 20/22 should be 20/20 - i.e. you answered all 5 questions correctly.

Hmm, I entered the competition, I answered ALL questions correctly - but at the end it says
A decent attempt! You have scored 20 out of 22!
Possibly you need to tick the 2 boxes to sign up for SMS and email notifications from them to get the extra 2 'correct' answers!
