This is in the official rules on the official website for the contest::
(iv)If entrant is a resident of Canada: correctly answer without assistance of any kind, whether mechanical or otherwise, a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question to be administered at a mutually convenient time in person or by telephone.
So,it would seem that Canadians arent,after all,denied entry to win.Though this is pretty weird,if you ask me.

✭✭✭✭✭This was always the case. Canada doesn't permit lotteries unless they are skill-based, therefore there has to be a question people can answer in order to qualify.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭Okay, its probably not as easy as 2 + 2 but I'm Canadian and any draw box type entry things I've entered that had the math question before you won are pretty easy. I'm pretty sure they are going to be like "you have to answer in the next 10 seconds".Lone Wolf HelpFor the solo players who know, sometimes you just need a hand.PC | NA | AD-DC-EP | Discord0 -

I mean even as 2+2, what if they're nervous and panic as say five?
They probably wont win the cash then.

Obvious ploy to get fewer people to enter and increase your own odds.

Yes I was going to say that the skill testing question is a Canada thing not a ZoS thing.
...edit: so the question will either be related to beer, hockey, maple syrup, moose or beavers. Lol!

Well, considering that supposedly 1 in 5 people have herpes.. that statement couldn't be more true.

purple-magicb16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭... addition to my earlier post: the skill testing question may also relate to Tim Hortons. For example, the correct mixture to make a proper double-double or the damage dealt by a Timbit as a weapon of mass destruction. In Canada, our wayshrines are Tim Hortons donut shops.

That's rediclous and anyone with a half brain wouldn't do all that for a 1 and 3-4 million chance to win. That's something you tell your mom and she's like "no hunnie that's not really a good idea"0 -

✭Yes, we deal with this in Canada all the time.
Example:
There are 75 pancakes and 3 Litres of Maple Syrup. If each pancake has an equal amount of Syrup, how many millilitres of Syrup are on each pancake?0 -

Wycks✭✭✭✭2 + 2 is not legal, the law requires at least 4 variables using different operators.
So something like this works : 30 + 10 / 2 * 2
Also the laws are specific to both the federal and provincial governments, for example in Quebec you must register before allowing a contest with an official regulatory office, this is why it is not valid for Quebecers, it complex and often requires a deposit and also tax payment if won.
Edited by Wycks on December 9, 2015 5:29PMThe numbers thing is always going to be there, but it’s more down to player skill and there are ways through ability choice to configure a group to be stronger vs. large groups of people. - BRAIN WHEELER - 2012 - LOL0 -

Nah, we'd import food and firewood. While apologies are plentiful, resources are scarce.
