Aptitude Test Contest: Results
We have split the entire remaining €250,000 Quiz Contest prize pool among those participants who completed all the tasks:
Participants had to design a set of 30-question Quizzes which tested three aptitude groups:
• English Language
• Mathematical Ability
• Spatial & Logical Thinking
They then reviewed 9 Quizzes from other participants (that's 270 questions) and submitted rebuttals – reflecting on the reviews their work received. Finally, Telegram Judges analyzed the content of each Quiz, its adherence to the rules and its overall usefulness. The quality of Peer Reviews and the validity of Rebuttals was also assessed.
All of these ratings produced a final Contest Score for each Quiz, between 1 and 4.3.
There are 4 reward tiers for this contest, per Quiz:
- – €3000 – Contest Score 4+
- – €1500 – Contest Score 3+
- – €500 – Contest Score 2.1+
- – €50 – Contest Score 2 and below

This Trick will Help Hide Your Phone Number on Telegram

Under the Settings tab, find the ‘Privacy and Security’ section. Under this option, you will find the Privacy tab where you can select who can view various elements like your profile picture, last seen status and more.
Step 3: Change the ‘Phone Number’ setting to Nobody
Find the ‘Phone Number’ option and change the corresponding option to ‘Nobody’ if you want complete privacy.

The same section of privacy settings can also be used to hide a number of other details that can be used to harass you or track you down. These include your profile picture, your last seen and online status. You can even decide who can call you and add you to groups from this section.
