Canada!! Perkins does not think you are capable!

From a Perkins Restaraunt Guest Experience Survey card for a $25000 drawing:

"Maximum of 1 entry per card.  Entry limit: 5 surveys per month.  Canadian residents must correctly answer a skill-testing question."

what?

I was about to post the same thing. So they ask them, what is 2 + 2 or whatever, and then all correct entries go into the drawing.

What's the point of a rule like that? Is is supposed to make it MORE FAIR? I don't get it.

"Free entry" give-aways have long been used as come-along scams, hence the 'test of skill' requirements to protect the public.

We have a similar thing here in the Southern Hemisphere.

In South Australia the law states that you do not have to purchase items to be included in a draw/competition. So competitions that require bar codes to be sent in or an item to be opened etc will often have a special section for South Australian's saying that they have to answer a question or draw a facsimile of a label etc. Then they will be included in the draw.

I have always thought that when ever they get these SA entries they must just ditch them.

Drawing a facsimile of the label is totally a way cooler mini-challenge though.
