One registration per person is authorized. The participant can only compete in his name and not for someone else. Personal information of the participant may be verified through different sources. Personal data must be accurate.
Inaccurate or false information given by the participant will invalid the registration or entail the loss of the Prize.
How to participate?
Registration is open during the entire duration of the challenge.
- You firstly need to register on EDITx.
- To launch the challenge, press the button “participate.”
How is the Challenge organized?
You will have 15 minutes to give the correct answer to as many questions as you can. The Challenge is designed as a multiple-choice test with one or several correct answers.
The challenge allows the usage of three ‘jokers’: the "50/50", forcing the system to eliminate 2 incorrect answers, the "Ask the challengers", whereby the percentage of the challengers who chose each solution is displayed to you and the "Ask a friend", in which the challenger sends a question to one friend during the challenge, after which the friend provides input and the score is adapted accordingly.
After you completed the ING challenge, you will see your result for that Challenge immediately, but not the answers. We will email the details of the scores to all players at the end of the Challenge to make sure that the players will not share the answers during the Challenge.
