Facebook and NCAA

[icehockeychic]

From the facebook rules of participation in their massive NCAA pool stuffs:

"Canadian participants must also correctly answer a mathematical skill-testing question, without human or mechanical assistance and within a specified time limit, before being declared a prizewinner."

That's REALLY REALLY funny. But don't forget this little line:

THE PROMOTION IS OPEN ONLY TO LEGAL RESIDENTS OF THE FIFTY (50) UNITED STATES (INCLUDING THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA) AND CANADA (EXCLUDING QUEBEC).

I may be an illiterate American who doesn't know geography, but I'm pretty certain that Montreal is in Quebec. So it doesn't matter that you can't do math. Or even if you can.

That is SO FUNNY!

The real reason:

In reality, the test is a hack of Canada's legal code by the promotions business. Canadian anti-gambling law makes it illegal to sell chances to win a prize, so promoters always offer a free method of entering each contest, and task every winner with a skill-testing question. By doing the latter, they argue, the game is no longer one merely of chance but a contest requiring some skill.
