[ Rules ]
- One attempt per person. Everyone sits it on their own.
- Duplicate, manipulated or suspicious entries may be disqualified.
- Finish within the official window.
- Report technical problems immediately through the official support channel.
- Organisers may review activity and response patterns to keep the event fair.
- Do not ask an organiser or volunteer to break a rule, waive a requirement or make an exception in your favour. You may ask once; when the answer is no, that is the answer.
- Pressuring, forcing, threatening or intimidating an organiser or volunteer removes you from the event. Where an organiser or volunteer reports feeling threatened, the entry is disqualified.
- Breaking the rules can cost you your leaderboard position, rewards and certificate.
- The organisers' decision on eligibility, ranking and disqualification is final.
- Results go up in the official group: the three winning names. No participant's personal details are shared or passed on unless we have their consent.
- Everyone who completes the quiz has a position on the leaderboard. The group announcement names the top three, and your own position comes to you rather than to the group — named in the email that delivers your certificate, and printed on the certificate itself.
- Scores, answer sheets, internal notes and comparative breakdowns are not shared, and there is no personal feedback, re-evaluation or second attempt.
[ Questions ]
Is it free?
Yes. Registration costs nothing.
Is this a quiz or a hackathon?
A quiz, in one sitting. There is nothing to build and nothing to submit beforehand.

Everyone who registers, joins through the official link, completes and submits the quiz, follows the rules and passes the integrity checks. One certificate per participant, distributed within 10 days of the results being announced. Registering alone does not qualify.
When are results announced?
After the responses are validated and the leaderboard is reviewed. Timelines are shared through the official channel.
