But it is difficult when you are physically in Mauritius as the internet is not that much reliable. Some places were unable to see my server where as other places was good. This is the cost of being a Mauritian, it took me 3 years just to launch that website. @Neel : It's good to see people looking at life from the positive side even after a late start of the contest. @Mahesh : yo mahesh, there is a specific procedure that I have send so that I can dispatch the credit to the phone number. Procedure that you have not completed yet... Some people has used a false email address and now to claim the price they just can't. I'm obliged to do so, else anyone could claim to be the winners @Stephanie,Stephane: I personally don't like to do that, but since you started the fire,need to add water to it. It is sad to see that everytime that some mauritians tried to move forward, there are other trying to retain them or more, make them go backwards. Yes I can affirm that some questions was indeed from those kind of website, but aren't their purpose there just for that?? It was either those kind of questions or those that I prefer, Infosys type challenges. Do not jump rapidly to false conclusion with the 100% Mauricien. The fact that all questions should have been related to mauritius was what I personally wanted, the mauritius in the title of "Mauritius Contest" was refering more to the fact that the contest was reserved to people from Mauritius. I cannot take out the doubt from your head, but just mind you of this: if there was manday (I think that's what you wanted to say instead of soy ), I would have won the contest myself. It would have been easy for me to play under a nick name and win (in fact rubeina was thinking that i was Tom Sawyer). Else why not even let my brother or my cousin win ?? If this man won twice, it is just because of his determination. As christophe has said, there was only 3 participant for the first contest. The first rule to win (which you may not or have forgot) is to participate. I personally did not appreciate the comment about the fact that people came from nowhere to the first place. You should have watched closely to people that was under you and not only focus to the other that was above you. It is hard to learn the lesson from that hard way, but this is the beauty of life It is always easier to criticize people, but harder to walk in their shoes for at least one day. I really appreciate when I see people standing up and say what they think, even when they do not agree, I am a very open minded guy and that is why I approved your comment. The only thing that I do not like is when people do that in a cowardly manner, hiding behind other's people name. This is the fear of taking the responsibility of what has been said. But anyway Stephanie or Stephane, with the amazing power of wordpress (this program very good and when you master it you can do almost anything) , I know exactly who you are. Just have the courage to stand up and assume your says. @Christophe : Very good job man, this is where your determination brings you. I would have preferred to be at your place but there was a need to have someone at the other place. I thought that since there was no one, I should take that place. I'm just waiting for you to launch your contest and maybe to be the winner. @Shazia: At least someone who agree with that question and with strong arguments to back up the answer.

Just think about this...I lagged behind the winners by 15-17 points, and the last part of the contest gave a total of 40 points. Had you answer all correctly, you'd be First on the contest. Don't just say craps, If I won then I won, and in full tranparency !!! By the Way, Did you participate into the first contest?? I guess not as there was only 3 participants !!! @ Stephanie :

But the last part of questions proved to be extremely challenging as well as interesting.. capital of iran, will smith's last movie, how many legs a butterfly has etc, all these were quite easy and answers could be EASILY found on the internet. thats y i found the last set of questions of this contest superb. am happy to be amongst the first 6 candidates and overall i have obtained 90% of the answers. despite the fact that i missed the first questions of the contest, and others were already 20-25 points ahead of me when i joined Got questions 5, 6, 7 wrong..

How would u expect busy people to give their max on the contest when your contest's server was down and no notice had been circulated from your part to inform us when the quiz gonna resume (take the last round of questions for instance which was just released ON THE EVE of the ending date AFTER a looooong period of inactivity on the contest page - thanks to my contacts again- and i'm not even sure the contest ended on the 1st May- huh :P ) I'm not saying 'if this was that and that was this, then i would have been the winner'.No! It's just that i've found the ongoing process of the contest WRONG and some questions too (the nonsense ones - 'In which building was the old MCB of Beau Bassin found? ' - what's.....gngngngn....ki ena extra avek Ahmed Building?????) Well, there is much much more to say (or criticize - whatever words u prefer).But i really appreciate the effort u've put to create the contest. Something i would like to add:
