This is not an objective contest! It's Affective Prejudice!
WHY, when this is the WORLD wide web, does one have to be a USA resident???
I Object!

You don't have to be a U.S. resident to participate. However, for legal reasons you must be one to be eligible for the prize.

Exactly, this will let you get more points faster. Heck, I'm still trying to win at least one day! =P
BONUS!
Starting today and through the end of the contest (i.e. the 10 final days), there will be an additional bonus every day.
First, there are some point changes:
* 3 points for being the first person to guess the clue correctly
* 3 points per eligible Hub entry (up to 10 maximum per day)
* 15 points for the best Hub
In addition, each point gives you 1 entry into the daily drawing...for $100!
We will announce the winner when we announce the best Hub winner, and we will pay the lucky winner by PayPal at the conclusion of the contest. He/she must be eligible to enter the contest (check the rules), and will have to verify this through an affidavit that we will mail to you at the end of the contest.
Another incentive to keep those Hubs coming in! You can enjoy a vacation on March 16th
