A lottery scratchcard has had to be withdrawn due to sections of the public being retarded - 'Cool Cash' card confusion
QUOTE But the concept of comparing negative numbers proved too difficult for some Camelot received dozens of complaints on the first day from players who could not understand how, for example, -5 is higher than -6. Best quote from the article: QUOTE I phoned Camelot and they fobbed me off with some story that -6 is higher - not lower - than -8 but I'm not having it. I think Camelot are giving people the wrong impression - the card doesn't say to look for a colder or warmer temperature, it says to look for a higher or lower number. Six is a lower number than 8. Imagine how many people have been misled. -------------------- "We are number one, all others are number two or lower!" - The Sphinx, Mystery Men

Whilst this is still amazing that people can be that thick you do have to understand it is in the Manchester Evening News so that explains a lot!
