Any attendee to the event will be able to participate as in the final as a public, answering the questions through their mobile phone, thus playing to qualify for the prizes for the best contestants among the public.
The categories of questions will be the same as during the rest of the tests of the Olympics plus a category of "General Computer Culture". The score in this final will decide the order of the Podium (1st, 2nd and 3rd Prize) of the Olympics.
