Rules of the challenge

Scores calculation and Jokers:

You will have to give the correct answer to 18 questions (8 easy (30sec), 6 medium (50sec) & 4 experts (80sec)). The questions will be multiple-choice.

• A good answer gives you 1 point
• A wrong answer results in a score of 0

The total score will be the cumulative score of all questions answered within the set timeframe.

Results, Data privacy & Information Sharing

After you complete the Challenge, you will see your result for the Challenge immediately, but not the answers. The details of your score and your ranking will be released in your userboard at the end of the Challenge so that the answers cannot be shared among players during the Challenge.

The Challenge runs on a secure platform managed by EDITx. The following personal data about the participants will be collected by EDITx: first name, last name, address, date of birth, email address, telephone number and Linkedin profile (if present). Personal data are used for the following purposes:

• To monitor the correct competition process
• To analyse and optimise EDITx
• To set up the statboard & leaderboard at the end of the Challenge

EDITx shares the personal information (last name, first name, mobile and email) of the participants with the host of the Challenge, the members of the jury, and any governmental agency or authority in Belgium, should they request it (in case of irregularities).
