If the McDonald's you work at is like the one I work getting overtime is hard as hell

Is Ireland even on the map still? UK is nearly literally stone throw away and we get stuffed for deals.

 

Fingers crossed I will be able to "import" GTX 1080 from UK with some bundled games... I wonder what the bundles will be. No mention of that just yet.

am i missing something? why is quebec always excluded from so many giveaways.

[Daiyus]

The first one had me for a while. I needed a few tips before I got it; shame I only got around to looking at the contest today so I lost out on the potential daily prize. The second one was pretty easy. Now I know how they're thinking I hope I can get the rest.

Anything over 100$ and you have to fill paperwork and pay tax to include Quebec in the contest, it's just stupid.

Indeed, anything over 100$ has an infinite bunch of stuff to fill and submit to the government including litigation, math skill-testing questions, precise stuff and whatnot and if they cannot deliver the gift for whatever reason, they could be sued under quebec law. AKA far too much to deal with to even bother

I just Googled the crap out of every possible reference I could see in the puzzle. You'll know it when you see it.

for 2nd Challenge, use the Hilber's Curve, look at the 2nd Pattern. 

There you go, should be enough hint =P

 

by the way, are the prizes draw daily? 

[Crosseyed Sniper]

Looks like I'm going to have to actually buy the GTX 1080 if I want it. I took one look at the first challenge and was like..

 

 

Stay in school, kids! Stay in school!

Got it!  Thanks for the tip!  

 

I think there are daily prizes and probably a bunch at the end as well.

God forbid they did this worldwide. I'd pay for shipping if needed.

Blame your local government.  Governments around the world generally have very stupid laws about contests.  Nvidia would like nothing more than to have a truly global audience for this kind of stuff.

While what may be true, it's hard for me to believe that only 7 countries have laws that would enable NV to do the contest. There are many contests that include almost same countries every time, but at the same time there are many contests that are available worldwide.

I don't know, the laws are complex and diverse and navigating them can be a big expense for large companies.  In a free world you wouldn't have to worry about it.
