 If you cannot answer the question truthfully, you are excluded from the 
 process. 
  
 There must be some side channel you can communicate with them, or leave the 
 question blank. Lying on this form could be anything from an embarrassment 
 to 
 a criminal offence if you gain employment as a result. And it might prove 
 difficult to show that you corrected it informally. Perhaps they 
 deliberately 
 want to confine consideration to certain nationalities?
