omg... why do people always see more then there is when it comes to this...
This same thing is in all contests, the nightfall party also has this its not Anet that thinks of it its what they have to do in order for canadians to also be able to have a chance to win.

From what i understood reading it law in canada dissalows people winning something out of pure luck, you HAVE to do something for it,the math question is enough for it to be counted as legal.
Btw the question might be something like what is 2+2= ? so its not hard its just so you have to do something for it

Lol, now that's dumb. They don't want gambling, but they provide a simple rule so EVERYONE with half a brain can gamble anyway. What's the point in that??? Only to show they disapprove, but because they can't stop people anyway, they think of this rule so they can still claim they are against it?
(My country, The Netherlands, has loads of these rules too, which I think are absurd. They call it "gedoogbeleid" meaning "tolerance-policy". They can thus state they are against it, but will tolerate it. Decide what you want governments! don't make silly laws like these. They're no use. Either forbit it, or legalize it.)

It isn't going to affect you much. It will be a very simple math question such as
2(5+4)=?
If you cannot do that then, well, google will have the answer
Edit: As a little aid to people unsure on how to do this.. You solve algrabraic equations like the simple example above with the following method. You do parts of the equation before other parts in this order:
2(5+4)=?

Edit: As a little aid to people unsure on how to do this.. You solve algrabraic equations like the simple example above with the following method. You do parts of the equation before other parts in this order:
- B rackets (Everything inside brackets)
- I ndices (The little ²'s and ³'s next)
- D ivide (Divide if you need to)
- M ultiply (Then times stuff)
- A dd (Then add things)
- S ubtract (Then take other things away)
this should explain the skill testing question

and i believe quebecers aren't eligible due to quebecs law system being different from the rest of canada. This stems from quebec being colonized by france instead of britain, their law systems being different.

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally
Parentheses
Exponents
Multiply
Divide
Add
Subtract
Very simple order of operations. If you don't know that by college you are teh fuxored.
