                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[This isn't Yamaha's idea. It's a Canadian federal law as it relates to lottery. Basically in Canada it's illegal to give away something for nothing in a sweepstakes, so you have to answer a skill testing question, thus making the prize a "reward" for your skill. In effect you win a chance to answer the question in the contest and win the prize as a result of answering the question. If there was an entry fee (ie. a ticket purchase) this rule does not apply.<br><br>Strange , Eh! This rule, in effect, eliminates those with severe learning disabilities, no formal education, or anyone with no math skills from ever winning a sweepstakes (ie. a free contest) prize as a result of that "skill" that is tested.<br><br>That, now that I think about it, is discrimination. It's also Govt.'s way of limiting what citizens can have acces to without paying taxes on it.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote>Under Offical Rules:<br><br>3. Â "In order to win a prize, residents of Canada will be required to answer correctly a time limited mathematical skill testing question to be administered via telephone."<br><br>???<br></blockquote><br><br>That is so funny! I didn't even see that when I first glanced through the rules, but it's there! What in the world are they thinking? I think all of our Canadian friends should contact Yamaha and find out what's up. It's almost like they're saying, "we need to be sure those Canadians know how to at least do some math problems before we give 'em anything to play music with! Explain E=mc2!"  :o]]></content:encoded>
