Default Heres a dumb question

Maybe I can get a dumb answer.

I noticed that in both the Sporty's and AOPA aircraft contests (the annual
airplane giveaways), their rules stipulate that if the winner is Canadian,
they will have to pass a math test to recieve the prize. If they fail to
answer the math question correctly, they will find another winner.

Why would they do that? Assuming the winner to be a Canadian Pilot, why
would they test their apptitude?

Also in that respect, if they are trying to not give the airplane to a total
moron, why wouldnt they do the same to an American winner?
