    Do we know specifically how the scoring works?
    I was assuming 200 points for each correct question and then 1 point deducted for each second taken over a base number of seconds. But what is the base number of seconds.
    Isn't it possible for for a superfast typist who knows the questions and answers to get within the base time and score 1000?
    It is within the rules for, say, a family of 5 people to all enter. So the last one can have seen the questions 4 times before entering and only has to enter at high speed for a maximum score.
    My best score was only 981 but I am quite slow on the keyboard and had not previously seen the questions.
    I know we are all a bit suspicious of BENDYWENDY and LUKE O ZADE but are we judging them without any real evidence? Or have I missed something?
    What would we be saying if they were MSErs?

    Perhaps BENDYWENDY and LUKE O ZADE tied last week and get £2,500 each?

    I was hoping that hamster would be reinstated after his very valid reason for two entries was explained on here. I didn't like to think that it was because of his very justified (and constructive) criticism but perhaps it was.

    I think if Bendywendy were an MSErs we would all be happy for him/her initially. But we would also question them as to how they were obtaining such high scores each week. (Luke O Zade was only querried because he/she appeared from no-where with a suspicious name to go with it) If they were seen to be cheating I don't think we would condone it just because they were MSErs.
    I do agree with your point of someone having a family of 5 etc. though.

    Also:
    Where is Luke O Zade in the line-up :confused:
    I can't find him/her.
    Did they get any points for this weeks Weekly?
    If not, is that not strange.
    Would you stop entering a daily comp because you had won £2500 and you were allowed to continue trying for another win :confused:

    I found Luke O Zade, strangely, he hasn't completed the weekly challenge this week.:confused:

    Maybe if you win, you're banned.

    Luke o Zade has done the weekly this week. He didn't do the first week.
    He appeared last week for the first time which is why he looked suspicious apart from the name. He is now in 595th place with a score of 1995. I believe he got 998 last week which means he has 997 this week.

    So it does look as if they (Bendywendy and Luke O Zade) tied last week and shared the £5000.
