I believe the law in Canada is made in regards to not getting something

for nothing. So, arbitrary math tests have been required of winning

prizes all across the country. These math tests are quite simple in

most cases.

Most likely because the sweepstakes is open to people from Canada. Contest

rules have certain restrictions there that are different from the US.

from the contest rules section : "Before being declared a winner, each

selected entrant must first correctly answer, unaided, a time-limited,

arithmetical, skill-testing question to be administered by telephone at a

pre-arranged time."

<br><div>Cervelo is running a contest to win one of their sweet new Soloist

Carbon frames. It's the same bike Jens Voigt rode into yellow on stage 9 in

this year's tour. The bike is said to be as aero as the solist and as light
