In Time

[a_person]

You deserve a very long rest elski! Anyway, the odds aren't against you....you never know. You're still in the top ten.

They were saying on the FB Group that he was ringing the Head of Digital Displays to get the codes - that was what I was planning to do too! But I just did not have time, we have to work don't we??!!

If he has done that, then he was a bit silly to tell someone he'd only met through the comp that he was doing it. The guy accusing him says he's got the FB chat log as proof, unless he was pulling the other guys leg but he did seem to be getting codes where everyone else (including people looking at tube stations) couldn't find them.

He is a Team Leader at Search Engine Optimization. I think they have certain skills to scour the internet to look for something, i.e. hidden codes that non-technical people will not be able to find and if we do, the time has devalued already? But that is great, if you have skills to deploy why not use them unless it specifically states in the rules, but it does not. I think he won fair and square, he outwitted all of us!

Well they're investigating it so we'll find out the outcome when they announce the winner. HeyuGuys was only recently in trouble in their comp so they have to make sure he's not overstepped the mark.
Jane was only a very short smidge of time behind him and there is that other thing in the T&Cs that people can't make sense of so in sorting it out she might still have a chance.

From the T&Cs:

This time is calculated taking into consideration all codes entered, less any penalties for incorrect code submissions, less the difference between either the point the competition started, or the time at which the entrant registered, whichever is later.

Good effort nevertheless Elski!

What about me, sh? I put in a lot of effort too? I stayed in the top 20 out of 2576 people at the last count

[superhero]

LOL of course you too pxc!!
I never even made it onto the competition site!

[elski]

is it just me or have the last few posts, including the final codes, disappeared from the FB wall?

[prettyxcool]

Yes, I was thinking the same - the last 9 hours have been taken off! It is all the talk about fixing, cheating etc .... I wonder what In Time Movie UK is doing?
