Five contestants are needed each month to challenge each other to try and become the monthly 'Post Masterbrain' winner.
Each contestant will be 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.
To enter all you have to do is E-MAIL ME and tell me your H2G2 name and your H2G2 researcher number. If you are lucky enough to be chosen to play then you will receive a confirmation e-mail. Only five contestant's will be chosen each month for the following months competition, your application will be stored and you will be asked to take part in proceeding months Masterbrain.
December MASTERBRAIN applications are being taken now.
This is a brand new venture for The Post, and relies on reader support, and so only time will tell if this project takes off, and becomes a regular thing.
