Yes, thanks. But before responding to anyone's query you should be able to differentiate whose query is more relevant and important.

Keep that in your mind when you respond to anyone.

Thank you!

Good luck on your test! And with the prep. Will root for you.

Sorry about the lack of motivation 😥

Thank you for advice. My replies are usually what they are - replies to messages and notifications. I wish I had the time to arrange all my tasks in the order and then assign priorities and importance. I am sorry to disappoint.

Hey BB ,
I am sorry for whatever I said above. I didn't mean to advise you. As I am just a student. I can understand that you might get busy with the stuff. So, you might have ignored my post. Please don't say that you have disappointed me. I am very embarrassed about what I did just now. For the sake of the Competition, the Club and you I will re-join the competition.

P.S. Alternatively, I have sent a private message to you to apologize.

Thank you!
Pooja

Hi bb, are corrections registered? I.e if you take a timer and choose an answer and you take another timer for the same question and wish to change your answer? Do you get points if the second answer is right?

Only the first answer you submit is counted. So, take a moment to review before you finalize your choice. Best of luck!

Day 3 and it's a really close race! Team Reindeer is trying hard to catch up, and it's tight between the other three teams.

I've made a small correction to this question. To those six who attempted it before the edit, rest assured, I will take your efforts into account when distributing kudos. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Hi Bunuel

So we shall now provide explanation based on this new correction right?
What about the previous version which we attempted? Would that be marked as wrong? I haven't solved the new version yet so don't know if the new answer choice would match the old one or not. But in case it doesn't, will the previous attempt be counted as a wrong attempt?

What I meant was the timer I took before the edit. In that I selected the answer choice as per previous version. I solved the new version now and it is different from the previous one.

Hi,

Do we get access to the 30-timer questions on Saturdays and Sundays? Or 50 points against these timer ques will be credited to our score? In the last competition we had. Please clarify my doubts.

Thanks!

Very good question! You get access to the 30 question bonus on Sat and Sun even when regular competition questions are not posted.

Thank you,
BB.

Do we get a double bonus for 60 timers in a day? Or is it restricted to 50 points only for anything above 30 timers a day?
