The stage

The stage will be available from 21:00 BST on Saturday 25th April.

Fair play: To make it a fair competition, you must only do the stage once – your first go is the one that counts!

There’ll be 40 legs in total. For each leg, choose the route that you think is shortest – left or right.

At the end you’ll get a score, based on a combination of:

how often you chose the shortest route
the % difference between your route and the shortest route
how long you took to choose your routes

You need to be quick!

When you’re ready to play:

Go to the competition page.
Select Play competition with code.
Enter the code 4TPOVM and select Play.
Submit your score – the number highlighted below – via our results website.

If you have problems logging in to the website, contact us.

You MUST complete this stage AND submit your score by 16:00 BST on Sunday 26th April.

Submitting your score makes our lives easier and means that we can produce the overall results more quickly 🙂

Results

We’ll rank everyone’s scores in order. First place gets 1000 points, second place 999 points, third place 998 points, and so on. If you miss the deadline for submitting your result, you’ll lose 50 points (unless your lateness is caused by the organisers).
