Q. I can not see the game, when I go to the game screen I see an orange screen with occasional plus signs.

A. This is a known issue with Norton Internet Security.

Depending how you installed Norton. There were two choices to either use Windows Log-ons or Separate ones. This site only works fully with the Windows Log-Ons.

If you did chose the Separate log-ons then please use the log-off option, and the site will work fine. Trouble is you may be unprotected, so it is recommended that you re-install Norton with Windows Logons.

Q. How does the game work? How do I go Up A Level and what does Snookered mean?

A. In a nutshell, you start with 3 lives, the 5 by 5 game board allows you to pick any of the 4 corners to start and then subsequently only touching squares. The idea is to go up a level by finding the up a level square and answering all those questions correctly. The game tells you how many spaces away the up a level square is, but not the direction. The advantage of going up a level is that the questions are worth more. I.e. double for level 2 and triple for level 3. Please note there are 8 levels in all.

Please be aware that if you get the hangman wrong or 2 out of 3 questions wrong, on the other types of questions, you will lose a life. You will also lose a life on the game board if you block yourself in. I.e. there are no available squares next to your current square. That is called being snookered.

Q. How do the different competitions work?

A. There are two types, a prize year range, when the player who gets the highest score by the closing date with the prize year range selected is the winner. You can either press the prize year button or manually move the sliders to the prize year.

The other type of competition is an artist based one. The winner here is the player who gets the most artist bias points by the closing date. You get an artist bias point by answering three questions correctly on one of the themed artists. This will be the highlighted artist on the artist selection screen.
