The skill-testing question is actually a government requirement for any contest in Canada. It is a way of regulating contests to avoid illegal lotteries. Unlike a lottery, where winning is based on pure luck, a contest must have a "skill" component. The courts have agreed that a four-part math question can constitute a "skill", which is why you see so many contests asking you to answer a math question.
I can remember a few months ago I had a winning tab from McDonald's Monopoly game. It was for something really small (fries or a small drink...I forget which) and the girl took the tab, stuck it to a form and had me fill out the form with my name and answer to a skill-testing question.
It might seem strange that they would have you fill one out for winning points since the points themselves don't have any value. However, since it is a contest--only one winner--and the points can be redeemed for something of value, it probably still falls under this rule.
I found a great article on Canadian contest regulations:

Hope this helps!

They are advertising a laptop for points but I can't find it in rewards, when i click on it.
Not like I am even remotely close to the points they must be asking for it, just curious.
I notice they are offering the notepad and pen set for 700 pts. It'll take forever to get it!!
Chapman's kidsclub has it for 1000 pts and you can get those points in a day and a half.
I suggest you join kidsclub if you want that reward!I've rec'd over $1500 so far of Amazon.ca gift cards. All for free!

I decided to cash out for the $10 Old Navy GC, at this rate it would take a few years to get anything higher....

6 points for me! Since the Gadgets & Gizmos said I'd done it already... but I got the 5 points from the Music Quiz which came up today for me.

It took me MONTHS to get enough points for the $10 Tim Hortons gift card. Now that I have it, I dont think I'll bother too much with pigsback, you get more points and better prizes on Boomertowne. Plus its MUCH easier to get the points daily.
