Why do companies give out a prize only after a skill testing question has been answered? What if a person with below average IQ wins? Why isn’t the winning (say, tab off of a ‘build a BigMac contest’) not good enough?
first there’s a 1 in 1000 chance that you’ll win. Auctally it’s a lot less then that. What they do is they have a ton of most tab’s, but only 100 or so of the others. They have the question because they don’t want you to win, it would cost them. because of that, the odds of winning are amazingly low. mcdondalds had a scam with the monopoly for example, some security guard stole a bunch of stuff, so that proves how easy it could be to have no chance of winning.
Actually, I’ve heard that the reason for the silly test is that it turns a game of chance (read: gambling) into a game of skill (read: not gambling) for legal purposes.
