GoPro giveaway rules, not Canadian friendly
January 11, 2012 12:19PM
probably a joke, but if they followed through, i would laugh.

exert from the GoPro daily giveaway rules.

"Canadian residents must correctly answer a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question, if selected as a winner, in order to claim a prize."

I believe it's required by Canadian anti-gambling laws.

Yep,

Typically the question reads something like

12-2x5+1= ... and you have 10 minutes.

I remember seeing that in the fine print of Car Craft contests in the 90s.

Well, I guess it prevents ballot-stuffing by entering your dog, your cat, your seventeen parakeets (all named Abdul)

Well at least they will still let Canadians enter and win.

A number of other contest exclude us. Most of out contest rules and regs change in each province so you have to make sure you follow the rules in 10 different locales.

What makes these tests really unfair is that they are multiple-choice and the correct answer is never "eh?"

They're almost always not available to Quebec to, which likes to play by its own règles.

I'm a huge fan of the Drift cameras for motorsport shooting, especially rally. Their form factor is a little odd (doesn't matter much in a car) but the options are ideal for car shooting and for the love of frank they have an honest to god 1/4-20 thread mount rather than trying to make up the back end on stupidly overpriced mounts.

Matt

usually a bit easier (12-2)x(5+1)

for a multipe choice option they could do this:

12-2x5+1=
a) 3
b) 51
c) 1
d) 60
e) all of the above
