How to read Conundrumland question if I'm not from US ?
I don't wish to cheat by keying in any US zip code. Are non-US Mahaloians not welcomed to read or answer Conundrumland question ?

The following is a copy of an answer I gave prevously on this topic:

First off, I agree that it is bass-ackwards that a questions forum like ConundrumLand is guarded by the Birthday+ZIP Code specter. I have encounter several persons on Mahalo who are under the legal drinking age, not that that could ever stop a person from accessing ConundrumLand.
Regarding birthdays, I would just put in a fake one to satisfy the US age 21 limit. I cannot think of a single time I have ever let lying about my birthday slow down my access to a site. Now for purchasing or other official transaction...that is another story all together.
Anyway, more to the point of ZIP Codes. Conundrum may *emphasize may* be trying to limit access to ConundrumLand to individuals who may purchase Conundrum Wines. How does the ZIP Code affect this? Due to certain state import regulations, not all US residents can order wine online. Some US states have laws against allowing wine to be delivered to their residents.
Residents of the following states are barred from receiving shipments of wine from wineries (note that businesses may receive wine):
* Montana
* Utah
* South Dakota
* Oklahoma
* Arkansas
* Mississippi
* Kentucky
* Alabama
* Maryland
* Pennsylvania
* Delaware
* New Jersey
* Massachusetts
* Maine
Other states have varying regulations from limiting quantities to only allowing orders if the resident places it on site at the winery.
I'll just end this by stating that I give a hoot because I do not like the taste of wine...

I should add that you can use a ZIP code for my region if it will work for you: 26501. That is one of several for Morgantown, WV and I believe it will be accepted by Conundrum Land.
