If you’re clued-up on math equations, lend your eye to Google’s video down below, and see what it took for chancer Sylvain to win one of the CR-48 laptops. Flunked math? Nevermind, you should watch it anyway!

Apparently once the equation was solved (it spells out “speed and destroy” for those unable to add and subtract), Sylvain added it to Google’s URL shortener goo.gl, which then took him to a site where he could claim a free Cr-48 laptop for himself.

Don’t try the URL yourself; the laptop has already been claimed (I only disappointed myself, in checking). [Sylvain via Geek.com via UberGizmo]
