  2. The Competition requires every Entrant to answer a multiple-choice question or questions set by us for the Competition, each of which is intended to require the Entrant to demonstrate general knowledge and therefore to exercise skill, knowledge or judgment to answer (a Competition Question). All Entrants to a Competition will be asked the same Competition Question(s). The answer to each Competition Question will be factual and correct on the basis of our research, and there will be one correct answer to each Competition Question.
  3. Where a valid entry is submitted with the correct answer to each Competition Question, the entry is a Qualifying Entry. All Qualifying Entries will be included in a pool (the Draw Pool) from which the winner will be randomly selected in a draw (the Draw). An Entrant will be informed if their entry has or has not qualified for the Draw Pool. There is a maximum number of Qualifying Entries for the Draw Pool, which is as stated on the Website (the Maximum Qualify Entries).
  4. An entry which gives an incorrect answer to a Competition Question will not be included in the Draw Pool. For the avoidance of doubt, the entry fee referred to in clause 5.1 shall still be payable by the Entrant and shall not be refunded.
