I realise this is probably a silly question but can anyone tell me how crosswords etc are judged nowadays? From today there are now three ways to enter the MOS GK crossword and they state that the winner will be selected from all I SPY correct answers. Are we seriously expected to believe that someone opens all the envelopes when an email is quicker to open.
Sometimes there are 5 ways - post, text, phone, website or email. If this has been discussed before please tell me how to look it up. Thank you

No best answer has yet been selected by BEAC. Once a best answer has been selected, it will be shown here.
For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.In the days when it was just postal entries I'm certain they didn't check through over 100000 envelopes every week - they'd just open a handful and check them until they'd found enough correct ones.
I'm not sure how they do it with multiple entry methods- maybe they pick a set number of each or maybe they have a random selection method. I suspect postal entries get less priority as they are a pain-maybe they go straight in the recycling bin - but I have no evidence
