This is completely off the topic of ethics, but this seemed too funny to me.
I read this in rule #3 of the Logitech Giveaway (
http://www.logitechcordless.com/rules.htm):

"Canadian winners are required under Canadian law to correctly answer a
time-limited mathematical question in order to receive the prize."

Why in God's Green Earth would you have to do that?!  Canadian Law is weird.

By the way, I am in full agreement with Jared as well.
