How do you suppose they will check the answers? I find it difficult to imagine them doing it all manually - there must be thousands of responses (& not all from here!). Do you think they have a word checker or something to weed out the correct ones?
ps the dog has now eaten my clipping of questions, so no more agonising over 24a, 25b etc! Thanks to all here for lively discussions....
Hi Beagle, I am cynical so I imagined they would just check the dreaded 24a and 25b. That should get rid of most of the entries. I have enjoyed it too, much more fun when we can agonise together.
i would like to be think it all be above board. i do believe that will pick out one at a time, until they find an all-correct entry. they would probably look at 24a etc first to save time. if this ok then check every else....but would do i know. if someone from urc wins i'll get them to ask. good luck..paul
Hi from what I understand they check ALL the entries first. then any correct ones go into the draw. They don't usually have many that are all correct, last years winner scored 49 and a half out of 50.
