Godiva chocolates contest...Canadians must answer math question to win
http://www.godiva.com/welcome.aspx?f=1

You buy chocolates, you're registered to win 52 pairs of Manolo Blahnik shoes...unless your Canadian, then there's this catch (last sentence):




I know it takes a certain amount of skill to balance on 5 inch stilletos, but I'm not entirely sure how your math knowledge lends itself to that...There's probably a perfectly rational explaination, but I can't even begin to fathom what that might be. :wtf: :shrug:

1. If they answer correctly, it proves they're Canadian...
...or, more precisely, NOT American. :dunce:

2. Legal technicality
for the kind of contest it is.

You have to answer a 'skill-testing' question.

It's on all our contests.

A lottery is different and doesn't have one.

5. It is the law
It is a requirement of any contest, but not a sweepstakes.
