I saw the following in the fine print of Time magazine's recent sub-
scription renewal/sweepstakes offer:

	    In order to win a prize, residents of Canada
	    will be required to correctly answer a time-
	    limited arithmetical skill testing question.

Can anyone up north explain the rationale behind this seemingly bizarre
requirement?  Surely Time is not simply trying to encourage its Canadian
subscribers to study math. :-}

Would I be correct in assuming that the question referred to is probably
on the order of "What's one plus one?  Hurry, you only have one month to
send in your answer!" or some such?
