The article states that the courts have ruled that an equation must contain three operations to be considered a test of "skill", but gives an example that contains only two operations. Which is correct? - 03:19, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Your right, I confused operation and number. That's what happens when a historian is left to deal with math. - SimonP 03:32, Aug 29, 2004 (UTC)

Good thing this wasn't a contest<g>. Thanks for the answer, three operations really is harder<g>. - Nunh-huh 03:37, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)I recently won an automobile and actually got the rather simple quetion wrong,in my excitement. The group actually gave me another shot and a HUGE hint.

The article states that games of chance are prohibited under the Competition Act, but the Competition Act is about creating favorable conditions in the Canadian economy. According to the linked article, it's actually "The combined effect of sections 197 to 206 of the Canadian Criminal Code" which makes pure games of chance illegal. Also there's a typo referring to "games of chance" being legal, when I believe it is meant to say "games of skill, or games of mixed skill and chance." Since IANAL I haven't entered the changes.Cadda 22:06, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
