NLB 'Sure or Not' Quiz/contest SURELY easy to kelong, mechanics= NOT properly worked out:
The quiz is at https://www.nlb.gov.sg/sureornot/contest/surequiz
NLB is just so desperate for participants that "There is no restriction on the number of entries by the participants": is the NLB KPI based upon number of entries, if so they might as well ask a computer bot to register and participate so that maybe 6+billion (current world population) entries could be collected.
Also, NLB should simply reward participation since 'highest score' doesn't imply that the contestant is more 'knowledgeable': just maybe more desperate to win prize (by redoing the quiz again) etc.
Conclusion:
1) NLB should permit only ONE entry per person (only last entry should be valid) and only accept entries from Singaporean/PR contestants (since the cost of prizes ostensibly accrues from taxpayers $$$ or goodwill to PAP gahmen etc).
2) Scores of 5/10 and above should be accepted and have equal chance of winning vouchers if participation (and not cheating with the use of computer bots) is the real objective of NLB's 'Sure or Not' quiz/ campaign. (Contest awarding highest scores (10/10) only serves to reward lawyers (who read fine print) and people with good memory (repeat quiz and fill in all the correct answers remembered by heart)).
