	Proof McDonalds thinks Canadians are dumb
		Canada requires there be some sort of test involved but these are the first rules where I've actually seen the skill question.

		The question was to try to find out to what extent unusual aspects of the system (sugar, social chat-oriented software) were validated by experience teaching young children.

		Ideally, the question should be presented to the contestant in person, and upon seeing it for the first time he or she should answer it in front of a representative of the game organizer, using only paper and pencil or pen, and perhaps with a time limit.
		It emphasizes that a skill-testing question should be sufficiently difficult to ensure that the contest has a genuine element of skill, and that a free entry alternative must be clearly indicated as available to the public in the contest's advertising material and rules, and it must be obvious and unequivocal for the contestants.

		If a contest includes an element of skill, it is no longer considered purely a game of chance.
		The question has to require some skill -- but not so much skill that people would get it wrong.
		The last thing contest organizers want is to withhold a prize because someone goofed on the question -- although in a small percentage of cases that does happen.

	The Liberal Order: What??? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		If the selected entrant is unable to answer the skill-testing question, the selected entrant will be deemed to have forfeited the prize and an alternate winner will be selected from among all remaining eligible entries.
		The case law provides little guidance as to what physical or mental feats constitute a viable skill component.[16] For this reason, contest organizers usually require entrants to answer a mathematical skill-testing question before claiming any prizes; this insulates the contest from ss.
		In contrast to the above, many skill-testing questions used in Canada today have dropped several digits, leading to questions such as “5 + 10 X 2-10=?” Whether that comprises a sufficient test of skill remains to be seen.
