Wheel of Valpak Contest
« on: April 03, 2009, 09:22:40 AM »
I found myself reading the Wheel of Valpak sweepstakes promotion "official rules", and item #8 discusses a Canadian winner - who has to answer a math question correctly in order to claim the prize.

Is this an April Fools joke?  Is this typical for Canadian sweepstakes?

Item #8 in this link, http://www.wheelofvalpak.com/rules.php, has me a baffled!

Behold the Canadian "Skill Testing Question," explained here:
