NOVEMBER MASTERBRAIN UPDATE
Due to my holiday last week, the Masterbrain Questions went out on Monday instead of the usual Wednesday, and this, despite warning e-mails, caught a few contestants out, thus, some answers arrived a few days after others.
Munchkin was the first to arrive in just under 15 minutes, quickly followed by aliashell. Croz's reply arrived in just over an hour and the others all answered within two days, the order is as follows. Munchkin, aliashell, Croz, Jeny and last but not least Kandyman.
Each of you also got a point for each correct answer, and the total points are:
munchkin 09 points, aliashell 07 points, Croz 06 points, Jeny 05 points and Kandyman 04 points .
All the contestants got all the questions correct except one, question four.

Each contestant is e-mailed five questions, once a week for four weeks. The questions will also be printed weekly in, The Post, the answers will be published in the conversation section below this page.
Each contestant will get a point for every correct question they answer, plus point(s) for how quickly they reply to the e-mailed questions.
That means that a contestant with five correct answers, and the quickest e-mail reply will get ten points. One for each correct question and five for the fastest reply. The second fastest will get four points, the third fastest will get three points and so on, down to one point for the last to reply.
A results board will be shown every week here, so you can keep up to date with the latest winners, and try to guess who will become the ultimate Masterbrain.
The questions will all be general knowledge, so some intelligence as well as quickness and luck will be needed. They are not guaranteed to go out every week at the exact same time, but will be sent out sometime on the WEDNESDAY before 'The Post' is published. The answers will not be printed on this page until ALL replies from contestants are received.
JANUARY 2002 MASTERBRAIN applications are being taken now.
Remember Masterbrain is not a once in a lifetime offer, and you can enter for another month if you so desire.
