Skill Testing Questions......
« on: October 18, 2005, 08:41:03 AM »
what the fuck is the point of these?  Everytime I win something or enter a contest, I have to do one of these gay little math questions.  Stupid people aren't allowed to win stuff or what?

What kind of questions? 

Iīm curious cause over here at night they also have some tv "shows" where people can call in to win money... you always have to solve some rather easy puzzles but some people canīt handle the most simple calculations....  :)

people have to think "im special" or "I deserve this, cause I solved this" or some shit in order to be motivated to call.

simply saying "call us and if youre lucky you get 50 bux." won't do it for most people. it's also not interesting to watch then, not at all.

No, it's not a sin

Like at McDonalds if I win a Big Mac or something, they make you do a Math question to get it.  They're simple like 5 x (12-3) + 2 =    but they're fuckin annoying when you got like 5 people in line behind you and you gotta count on your fingers lol.

LOL really? oh my god ... but that would make for some funny situations when some people are getting nervous because others are waiting in line and as a result they give the wrong answer.. lol

that's weird as fuck, I thought you meant something different. sounds like a conspiracy to me, honestly. kinda scary.

It really is crazy that they ask shit like that while youīre standing IN LINE.. lol

... and the funny thing is that the calculation "5 x (12 - 3) + 2 = ?" isnīt even hard or "tricky" (..or any other calculation of that type for that matter)

but if youīd put "5 - 3 x 2 + 8 = ?" then I could see that some people are struggling... although itīs easy too.. but a lot of people probably would get it wrong.. lol

anyways.. crazy... imagine you win something big and you fail at that question.. lol
