  • If a subscriber has already started answering the questions for that day, he/she will NOT be sent the 1st question.

  • The confirmation SMS that a subscriber has been charged Rs.5 will be sent only between 8 am and 9 pm on any given day, even though the charging might happen at anytime between 00:00:00 hours and 23:59:59 hours.
  • There will be a black-out period of 30 minutes (from 11:45 PM to 12:15 AM) during which the 3 questions will be refreshed for the next day. Challengers will not be allowed to play the Challenge during this time. After this black-out period, the challengers can SMS the keyword GET to 55456340 in order to get the first question of the next day. If the application receives a response like GET C/D, or even just C or D, after 12:15 AM, this will be considered as an answer to the first question of the day, and will be responded to with the challenger’s score and the next question.
  • A challenger can either play the Challenge by sending the keyword “GET” to 55456340 and then sending a response to the question like GET C / GET D or just C or D, without the keyword GET, as an answer to the question that he/she has last received on that day.

  • If the challenger stops playing the Challenge after answering a particular(nth) question, on sending the keyword again on the same day, he/she will get the next(n+1th) question. This means subsequent question will be sent after the last question played (hence there will be no repetition).
  • The questions will be played sequentially.
  • If a challenger has answered only 2 questions the previous day and sends the answer to the 3rd question the next day then the system will accept it as the response for the 1st question of the new day and give an appropriate response (right/wrong) along with the next question.
  • Once the challenger has played all the 3 questions of the day, he/she will receive an SMS informing him/her that he/she has completed all the 3 questions for the day, and can answer a fresh set of 3 questions the next day. The same will happen if the challenger sends the keyword GET again after he/she has answered all the 3 questions for the day or if he/she tries to answer a question after having answered all the questions.
  • In case a subscriber experiences a delay in receiving a response or receives no response at all from the system, at anytime during the challenge period, he/she should SMS the challenge keyword GET to the toll-free number, 55456340. The subscriber should refrain from sending the answer keywords, ‘C’ or ‘D’ in such a situation, as it might be considered as a reply to an unanswered question.
  • But, on the last day of the Challenge the exit text will not inform the user that he/she can play the Challenge the next day.
  • The points scored by the challenger in a day will not get carried over to the next day. His/her score will be reset to zero at the start of each day.  The selection of the successful challenger for each daily gratification will be based only on the points scored by a challenger on that day.
  • Subscribers that are charged 4 times and have not played the challenge even once from the date of activation will be kept in ‘Suspend state’ on the day after the 4th day of charging, at 12:00:01 AM, before the charging for the next day starts.
  • An SMS will be sent to all such subscribers, on the same day of suspension, informing the same. The SMS will also inform the subscribers that they can resume playing and charging, anytime during the challenge, by sending the keyword GET to 55456340 or by answering a question by sending C / D to 55456340.
  • While in ‘Suspend state’, subscribers will NOT be charged.
  • Only when a subscriber sends the keyword GET, his/her state will be changed from the ‘Suspend state’ to ‘Resume state’ and subscriber will be charged as well.
