lol the Question. If you read the stuff at the top it tells you haha

They're slacking though - when they do the "multi-choice quizzes for gullible idiots" (TM) on TV they usually have one answer that is plausible (if you know absolutely nothing about the subject), the correct answer, then something totally way out for the third option.
For this one the options should have been:
a) Mexico City
b) Paragon City
c) Your mum's kitchen
Though I guess as they're not trying to rip us off with crazy text message charges on this one, they decided to make it a challenge for the mentally impaired.

Naw - it wasn't all that clear, but I think he meant the "where's the game set" question, that's answered in the text at the start of the contest.
I think there are some silly regulations from the gaming commission that require competitions that are basically free draws to have come kind of qualifying question, so they ask stupidly easy ones to get around it.
It's not REALLY a competition folks, it's a free draw (not that that's a bad thing!).

I did wonder that but the Daily Mirror has always required a higher reading skill than I'm used to so I assumed I was missing it, which probably I am.
Entered. Though if I win, I'll probably keep some of the innards, and donate the casing. I mean, do you know how hard it is to (pretend to) keep white things clean?

I thought they did it so that more people would be tempted to enter (because the answer is so obvious), thus increasing the revenue they get from the text messaging tarif for entering. But then I'm horribly cynical

Easier than black things? I've had both white and black TVs, PC boxes and cars and I know which seems to act as a magnet for dust and dirt - and it's not the white ones. Not that I let it stop me - everything colour coordinates well with black

Give it back to NC so they can auction it off at the next player meet? Bound to raise a fortune.

I've always given my old PCs to my parents or my brother, but considering how little they know about computers ... lets just say, if my PCs were sentient then dumping them might have been kinder
Imagine a life slaved to YouTube, Amazon, Yahoo and Wikipedia with no games in sight except Spider Solitaire ... my poor old friends /cry
/entered - need a 4th pc to annoy the other half with!! :P

Well, it says "one lucky Mirror reader", and that's a UK newspaper. Plus, GR said UK only in his first post.
[/ QUOTE ]I assume by reader they meant the website as well
Ah well, entered anyways, if they disqualify me that's their problem.
Done and done.
Now, time to find things I can cross...

Seem to remember that requiring the correct answer to a question makes it a game of skill and not a game of chance, as that would be gambling...

Got to admit, some of the quiz questions on This Morning can be tricky, seeing as I don't watch ITV soaps. The ones that are about common phrases and stuff are easier though.
Not that I watch This Morning.
The questions on David Dickinson's new show are just silly. The fact you win the amount of money a randomly chosen item sells for makes me feel you should have to guess the amount before it sells, rather than answer a usually barely related question.

Dickinson's Real Deal? Used to watch the tail-end of that with Teletext on, and always felt good when the 'professionals' got the price horribly wrong.
Not that I *really* watched Dickinson's Real Deal.
I want to win that case, and the bits inside would make some alright spare parts I guess

They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
