Bass Player is giving away a Sterling

Damn only US and Canada...

Check the rules (no. 3). Whats up with this???!:

In order to win a prize, residents of Canada will be required to answer correctly a time limited mathematical skill testing question to be administered via telephone.

Is that a joke?

Nope, it's the law. Canadians have to win a game of *skill* to get their prize.

That's unbelievable! What the hell is the reasoning behind this? Who came up with this stupid law? :confused:

Ottawa. Or maybe London.

From the Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweepstakes

"Because of the perceived deceptive nature of sweepstakes, they are heavily regulated. The US, Canada, and individual US states all have laws covering sweepstakes, resulting in special rules depending on where the entrant lives. Notably, Canada and several European countries require entrants to solve a mathematical puzzle, making it a contest of skill, in order to overcome requirements that would classify sweepstakes as a form of gambling."
 
I'm in on the contest ... thanks!

I hope I can answer the quiz correctly. Imagine winning and messing-up on the math equation. I should have entered my Son's name.

Your question:

If it takes a chicken and a half a day and a half to lay an egg and a half, how long does it take sixteen monkeys to kick all the seeds out of a banana?

You have 30 seconds, starting...now.
 
Too cool, I'm already building up my rig to be a mini version of that (Sterling, 1001RBII and a Neo 212) but if I could somehow win that, I'd be one happy camper.
 
I don't know where my new Bass Player magazine is, but I did see the photo - wasn't it a dual pickup Sterling? HS config?
 
I believe you get to pick the options...

"Winner gets to choose from the over 25 high gloss color finishes and multiple pick-up configurations."

Not clear if this includes lefty, though... :o
