OFFICIAL RULES

1. No Purchase Necessary to enter or win. TO ENTER:

Go to the Best of Life portal sponsored by Volvo, found within the Lifestyle section of Forbes.com, and click on a Best of Life Challenge link, anytime between September 5, 2003 and 11:59 PM ET September 2, 2004. To play the Best of Life Challenge for the Grand Prize and Quarterly Prizes, complete the registration and create a user name and password. Limit one registration/user name per person. Anyone entering invalid personal information or multiple registrations will be disqualified from all sweepstakes drawings. If your computer does not accept or store persistent cookies, you will need to login whenever you return to play. Additionally, your computer must accept temporary session cookies to allow play.*

The Best of Life Challenge consists of 4 new multiple-choice trivia questions each week. Answers to the trivia game questions can be found throughout Forbes.com and in the Volvo Best of Life portal. You can play once per week, every week, and for every week you play you earn one sweepstakes entry for the Quarterly and Grand Prize drawings. You will earn an additional sweepstakes entry by correctly answering all four trivia questions each week you play. Questions may be answered only once - so we encourage you to search for the correct information before submitting your answers. Refer a friend to earn one additional sweepstakes entry for each referral with a valid email address you submit. Limit 10 referral entries per person. The entry pool for Quarterly prizes starts over every three months; all entries are cumulative for the Grand Prize Drawing. The deadline for entering weekly trivia question answers is 11:59 PM ET on each Thursday throughout the duration of the program. No submissions will be accepted after each week's deadline, for any reason. For the purposes of sweepstakes deadlines, the sole determinant of the current time will be the clock on the promotion server machine, regardless of what any other timekeeping device might indicate. Entrants attempting to submit an entry close to the deadline time do so at their own risk and with this information in mind.

Game scores will be awarded for correctly answered questions, and will be posted on the website for player tracking and comparison purposes, only. Game scores do not equate to sweepstakes entries are not related to the chance of winning a sweepstakes prize.

*This registration process may be replaced with Forbes.com free membership registration, at some point during the promotion.
