I liked the Airship Fortress also. The new drifting would be great for when you are going down the twisting path in the Fortress!

In the official rules:
# Requirements of the Potential Winners: Except where prohibited, the potential winners may be required to complete and return an affidavit of eligibility and liability/publicity release (the “Affidavit/Release”) within seven (7) days of being notified. If a potential winner fails to sign and return the Affidavit/Release within the required time period, an alternate entrant will be selected in his/her place in a random drawing of all entries received. In the event the potential winner of any prize is a Canadian resident, he/she will be required to correctly answer a time-limited mathematical question to be administered by email/mail to receive the prize.
What in the world does that last sentence mean?

I've always wondered that. It must be a law or something because most contests and sweepstakes have something like that.
Really, why is that Americans can just win and get the prize, but Canadians have to take a math test and get it correct? I wonder if there is any similar rule in Canada for Americans who win contests...

There's some stupid law in Canada that giving away prizes and such is a lottery and as such is only allowed by governments, not individuals or corporations, in Canada. So the "skill test" component is a loophole through the law. Turns it from random chance to "someone doing a job" or something like that.

lol. The law seems pretty senseless considering there is such an easy loophole.
"You won Mario Kart Wii...er..I mean I will pay you Mario Kart Wii if you calculate what 2+2 equals!"

It's not really to deter people from winning, but it is more of a way to avoid having a company give something away for free. This way, it makes it seem as though you are doing something for your prize, rather than just winning by chance.

Gee, and I always thought that it meant: If a Canadian is chosen as a potential winner , he/she will be required to correctly answer a time-limited mathematical question to be administered by email to receive the prize.
