I live in Canada, and I'll tell you why. Technically, lotteries are illegal in Canada. But everyone gets through on a loophole that if even the slightest of "skill-testing questions" are applied, it becomes a contest, not a lottery.

I'll kill the joke: Canadian law bans free give-aways, simple trivia questions serve as a legal loophole.

Canada bans free giveaways? f*ck CANADA!!!!!!

The Jokes on our goverment! I use a calculater for those skill testing questions!

The answer is 5 stars.

well it's aboot time, ay.

Poor image, poor music choice, and poor understanding of Canadian laws. +1 only because you didn't use red circles

f*ck Canada you say? f*ck America you dumb fatass prick.

haha, by your sister do you mean you? i expect my bear in the mail soon...call me.

5, the answer is 5

= 5 stars

penis mcfart

I wish the U.S. would ban stupidity, but why ban free giveaways? Ass. Anyway, this is funny.

haha Canada sucks

Bubba, it was a joke.

haha Canada sucks

LOL. Awesome.

No give-aways? Canada does suck.

don't tell me they have free give aways in soviet russia

I wonder WHY they need to do that?!

Another reason to discourage letting average Americans into Canada. What's that you say? A loophole? Damn.

The answer is FIVE!!!!!!!!!

America should have this...

THE ANSWER IS NOT FIVE. Remember the order of operations. The answer is 3.5 .

me america, me crazy silly. like math.

yo DJH47 way to pwn yourself. it's 5

"2006-04-20 01:26:00 DJH47 THE ANSWER IS NOT FIVE. Remember the order of operations. The answer is 3.5 . " rofl, dumbass. PEMDAS bitch. multiplication = division. addition = subtraction.

Heh, I thought this was funny too. Also, geeze DJH47.

The answer is 5. It's called BEDMAS, not PEDMAS. Idiot. (Brackets, Exponents, Division+multiplication, Addition+Subtraction.) I happen to be Canadian, and yeah, for some reason we don't allow free giveaways. We also try to promote education and sensibilit

...sensibility. lol stupid thing. Meow

5

Free give-aways aren't banned, but if a 10 year old was to win it would be considered underage gambling. If you're over 18 and you win they just give it to you

DGH47 better be american for a chance at the buildabear. The only excuse he can possibly come up with for that is that he's black or mexican.

It's funny how anti-americans are too dumb to know they're dumb.

YOU DONT need to take these f*cking seriously, this is funny and leave it be.

I'm not anti-american, I'm part american myself, and I'd only be insulting mySeLf. Just saying Canada is better, is all :)

It's aboot time they ban stupidity. Well boys, it's aboot time we go to our hoose and eat some pancakes with maple syrup and and watch some hockey eh?

I wasn't talking about anyone in particular.

Even if you get the skill testing question here in Canada wrong you still win the prize.

WTF are you talking about, it's Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally, you're all stupid.

omfg you guys are all retarded. ITS f*ckING PEMDAS!!1 NE OTHER ACRONYM WONT WORK IN MATH!! I KNOW THIS IM TAKING LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL ROCKET CALCULUS LVIICV (we haven't gotten to the chapter on roman numerals yet)

That settles it. I'm moving to Canada.

It explains alot

I guess if this were true then Michael Moore would be dead by now.

God I wish. I work at a grocery store and the idiots we get make me want to commit varying degrees of homicide. Some of them I want to plan the deaths of, some of them I just want to kill spontaneously.

celeBEARate

The answer is how many stars you get. Math to the rescue!

silly canadians, bedmas? i swear they do that purposely to piss us off lol. brackets are almost always used in the same way as parentheses -_-;

I'm pretty sure my acronym works juuuuust fine. Thanks though, assplumber. Good luck on becoming a LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL ROCKET CALCULUSer!

Well, it's about time we went and did it.

5 for canada

CeleBEARate.

i hate how canadians think that they're americans even though they all live within an hour drive to the border, eat taco bell, and watch NBC, and shop at wal-mart, and so on. quit pretending like you're some sort of majestic foreign power and not america

stupidity is not banned (yet) just not tolerated. Mrdeodorant need anger management

lmfao, 5

im so confused

By mrmoot's logic, if you buy a Honda, you're Japanese.

Interesting.

F*CK BEARS!!!

I'll think of it as a discriminatory measure against stupid people, it makes me happier.

We're just fattening them up until we run out of natural resources anyway.

MathS is plural anyway.

PEDMAS? BEDMAS? Am I the only one who was taught "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally?"

DEATH TO THOSE WHO INSULT TIM HORTONS!

I got the right answer, 5. And so do you.

It's been done before...

The consecutive order is division and multiplication followed by addition and subtraction, therefore: 1x4=4 4/2=2 2+8=10 10-5=5 The answer is 5, damnit.

Haha. Canada is funny.

blame canada.

5, and thats what you get!

And it's not bemdas or pemdas, its PPMDAS (Parenthesis, Powers, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subrtraction).

Geocat's comment makes this a 5 to me

I only wish that was true... we still have far too many idiots up here.

As it should be everywhere.

canada, leading the world in being just north of the united states

Interesting find

Amazing. I'm kind of sad that I don't live in canada now that I know they do that XD

5'd!! because its real!

It's the truth.

Too bad you were tyring to buy a teddy bear at the time.

please excuse my dear aunt sally 5th grade math

we ought to do the same.

The answer is 5, and thats what you get.

in canada we send our stupid people off on artic icefloes to perish

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skill_testing_question. And to everyone arguing over the order of operations mnemonic: whichever one you learned, they all mean the same thing.

I learned BEDMAS myself, but "brackets" = "parentheses" (PEDMAS et al), and "exponents" = "powers" (PPMDAS, et al). So quit arguing; you're all getting the same result.

Wish we'd do that in America. Get rid of all the Republicans.

hahahah... yes!

High fives for Canadia!

If they're going to ask a math question, the least they could do is present in a way that can't be solved by going right down the line.

five

Lol. To quote Homer: "America Jr."

Yup

lol i'm canadian

It helps send all the idiots to America where they belong =D

FIVE IS THE ANSWER

the answer is 5 and nice find XD Canada don't care about retards

It's an American plot to take down Canada! Luckily we're smarter than you, so it doesn't matter.

by mrmoot logic if you buy a honda, speak japanese every day (including japanese mannerism and idioms), watch anime, and visit japan several times a year then yes you are japanese.

ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Very nice.

I really think the US needs to adopt this law...

canada is full of f*ggots who talk like *ssholes

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNNNNNNY!!

5?

Is it....... 5?

Can we get this law in the US as well?

I live in Canada, and I'll tell you why. Technically, lotteries are illegal in Canada. But everyone gets through on a loophole that if even the slightest of "skill-testing questions" are applied, it becomes a contest, not a lottery... LOL STUPID CA

...NADA...i also heard Bawls and other clear caffinated beverages are banned there... Next debate topic: Pythagorean Theorem!

Yeah, it is. So you Americas, f*ck off.

Canada sucks. ABOOT!

"It's aboot time they ban stupidity. Well boys, it's aboot time we go to our hoose and eat some pancakes with maple syrup and and watch some hockey eh?" I'm Canadian and I've never heard anyone say the words aboot and hoose in my entire life. It's oka

...okay, you're ignorant AND arrogant

lol, thanks Death Zero.

Bears are godless killing machines

Damn Canadians and their "washrooms".

"Life hasn't been the same since the new prime minister outlawed sodomy."

Roswdower!!!!!!

BEDMAS vs. PEDMAS... They are the same thing. Brackets or Parentheses are technically the same thing. ->( )

What. The. Hell. And 5 for LSO

what the eff

To continue the math debate, I learned BIDMAS (Brackets, Indices, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction)

That's so easy, it's 2.

" The Jokes on our goverment! I use a calculater for those skill testing questions!" ROFL pwned. 4 since you can't see all the highlighted text in Firefox.

I am a canadian, and i approve this message

The funny thing is that even if you don't know a thing about order of operations, you'd still get it right.

oh sh*t, its real

you don't even need to use Order of Opps. 4 times 1/2 is 2. 4 divided by 2 times 1 is 2. (4x1)/2 is 2...they are all 5...

Wow. The order of operations is to do the mutliplication and division first, then to do the addition and subtraction. Since they are already in order, the answer is five. So for all the dumbsh*ts, the answer is five following order of operations.

There HAD to be a catch to that free Medicare.

ORDER OF OPERATIONS LOL!!!

LOL f*ck Canada!

even after the non-voting comments, still funny

And you know what the really sad part is? This type of question will actually rule some people out v_v

If stupidity were illegal, this site wouldn't be plagued by so many sh*tty ytmnds.

Yeah in the UK we use BIDMAS (Brackets, Indices (Powers), Division + multiplication, addition + subtraction) It all comes up the same. 5!

1+1=4

in stark contrast to americans, yeah.

BLTDAS - Braces Logarithms Times Division Addition Subtraction

okay i'm 5'ing this for all the idiots spouting out different acronyms and not realizing they're all equivalent

I wish they'd ban stupidity in the US

they should do that for USA too XD

1+1 = window.. bwa???

THAT'S RIGHT, WE WIN.

Can-na-na-duh!!!

Can-na-na-na-na-na-DUH!!!

Can-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-Duuuuuuuuuuuh!!!

5 for London Symphony Orchestra

At first I thought the site name was the joke.

I laughed, and then got worried I couldn't do the math either. hope fully 5 is right. I'm not from Canada, but just in case I move and want a teddy bear.....

What the f*ck were you doing on build a bear?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skill_testing_question

lol, we win

It's a loop-hold in the Canadian legal system. Raffles are illegal but mixed games of change and skill are allowed.

...and when I say "loop-hold", I really mean "loop-hole". I was just testing to see if you were Canadian.

I've been bear-a-lized

damn right. canada ftw

5'd 5'd 5'd

If only my local amusement park gave out tests like these as a requirement to get into the park

Those damn Canadians and their... Mathamalogical skills >.>

5 stars for the answer 5

Holy sh*t it's true

I was actually gonna maybe 3 this...but then I realized what a joke of a country canada is.

"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skill_testing_question" wow...just wow...canada is seriously f*cking gay.

Say all you like about Canada, But when it comes to Lotteries, if you win 50 million dollars, you win and KEEP *ALL* 50 million dollars. None of that IRS takes 30 mil of it garbage.

..but we occasionally forget to vote. :P

I wish the US did it.

Because of the order of operations, shouldn't we do the 1 divided by 2 first? And come up with some weird number? Huh?

I know the answer! it's five. Here's one for you for being one of least retarded in the top 15.

Biohazard, even if you did do that, you would get 4 times .5 which is still 2. The answer is 5, which is also my rating.

i LOL'd irl.

I love you canada!! CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!11

CANDA 4twinar!

No, stupidity isn't allowed here! :D

If we, the U.S., killed all the stupid people, it'd be genocide.

cheez

Ban em? I kill em!

If stupidity is banned in Canada, they'd have to ban the whole country!

AWSOME!!! I LOVE IT!!!

all of that = 5

No.

stupidcanada.ytmnd.com :( i was first.

AVAILABLE IN QUEBEC?

I f*cking wish

that must be why americans circle the x when trying to find it.

A mathematical skill-testing question should be placed on each and every voting form. Then maybe you'd see these religious-right neocons lose public office. Religious zealots don't believe in math.

^^ he said zealot

If only.

ITS TRUE!: http://www.buildabear.ca/lp/CelebearateMom/celebearateMom_entryForm.aspx

We Canadians just don't want morons winning stuff :P

Your sister, eh? ;) We know the truth. Someones a little old to like Build-a-bear... Answer = 5 (I apparently pass as a Canadian)

Interesting. Yet delightful.

Well, that's odd... hahaha...

5'd for being canadian, hey.. why hasn't inkdrinker posted yet?

Really, how many people would be left in the US if they banned stupidity there? MY POINT EXACTLY.

that's awesome!

that's right, I personally know the guy in charge of hunting down and sniping every canadian who gets something like that wrong.

Jeez, Canadians, just take a joke for once.

lol canucks

5 for Canada

I just posted to ask why are so many people on this site so stupid?

Its 5 but site gets a 4

Good idea. Why don't we do that here?

this is amazing lol and the answer is 5, its almost stupidly easy.

"Jeez, Canadians, just take a joke for once." - Get some new jokes your f*ggot.

...im sorry there are too many canadian users on ytmnd including myself...americans should outnumber us by about 10 to 1..but not on ytmnd...canadians we better get off our asses off the net cuz we're gonna end up fatter than our southern neighbours

"...im sorry there are too many canadian users on ytmnd including myself...americans should outnumber us by about 10 to 1..but not on ytmnd...canadians we better get off our asses off the net cuz we're gonna end up fatter than our southern neighbours" -

^^f*ck canada

what an apt answer... considering it be the number of stars i give you! haha... my parents would fail considering the order of op. is key. lawl.

For the record, the answer is my rating.

hehehehehe

Making fun of Canadians for being Canadian is so edgy and substantiated btw.

I always used the mnemonic "Please Euthanize My Dumb *ss Sister" for PEMDAS.

Please eat my dick and swallow. LOLOLOLOLOLOL

The answer is 5, so you get one, ehehe!

ohhh cannnaaddaa DUURDURRRDUURRhururDURRR HURR

Wow, they should outlaw it in America too. I'd never have to hunt for a parking space again!

Canada is mother nature's beaver. I'd tap that.

Maybe we're just smarter than the rest of you.

If only stupidity WERE illegal here. Sadly we too have a large share of idiots and f*cktards.

Everyone is forgeting cardinal numbers! The actual answer is 1/2cos(/). Did none of you do advanced trigonomics?

5d for getting over 15 irate Canadian comments! Take a joke Canada plz, just this once

Haha. At least we don't get taxed on the prizes at least.

Even though I have nothing against canadians, I find this hillarious.

well atleast complete morons cant win....like in america, where its free to be an idiot GO CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That only bans mathematically stupid people. People who are very intelectually incoherent and idiotic, but are good at math, like The Echidna, can get past this.

WHY ARE YOU BUILDING A BEAR??????????

Amazing...it's really there on the regular website! LOL

A similar test should be given to people before they are allowed to breed.

A BEAR ATE MY MOM!!?

Yay canada.

Damn straight! It's my job as a Canadian to torture stupid people on the Internets and at school!

futureconan is 2010 because its the future. i got nagged for both 1984 AND 'the year 2000'... see if 1984 is 'future' conan, what does that make the various 'present' conan fads?

haha

lol it's true.

We're 1337 like that. Things like this make me proud to be an Italian living in Canada instead of the United States. Among other things.

This explains everything.

Seriously though, after reading some of these comments I'd have to say both the U.S. and Canada are stupid. "f*ck usa" "no f*ck canada f*g" f*ck BOTH OF YOU. :(

What the f*ck is Canada? -5

Canada banning stupidity?! THATS LIKE GEORGE BUSH BANNING THE READING RAINBOW STORY SERIES

w00t Canada PWNS!!!!!

it's true, if you go by the 0-100 grading system, an american were to get a 90 on a test, it would only be an 80 in Canada

WTF? that is all that needs to be said
