If you enter sweepstakes for Canadians, you'll find a strange math equation on the entry form. Many people wonder if the skill testing questions are thought up by the sponsors to prevent Canadians from winning as often.(…)
Canadian sweepstakes law, unlike American law, requires that the third component, "winners are chosen by luck," is removed. Sponsors cannot use pure luck to determine who wins a sweepstake. There must be at least some element of skill involved.(…)
The courts have agreed that a four-part mathematical test such as "155 plus 33 divided by 2 minus 12" is enough to qualify as a skill-testing question.

I suggest that the above method is used to eliminate a significant percentage of morons posting here. Alternatively, we might use the following approach.

I'd like to see a "new thread poster intelligence test" for all posters, regardless of age, sex, or race. You must answer the following five questions correctly or else you will be deemed ineligible to open any new thread on this forum. This should take no longer than two minutes to complete. [This is just an example, feel free to come up with your own suggestions.]

1. I am
a. just a frightened little boy
b. pure polish and have some red hair on my beard
c. a true Polish patriot
d. a Polish girl with big boobs dying my hair to black
e. all of the above

2. I have … drinks a day.
a. way too many
b. just a few dozen
c. don't know, counting was never my favourite subject
d. I does not drink

3. I watch … hours of television a day.
a. thirsty-five
b. eleventeen
c. a hell of a lot of

4. I like to
a. beat up "a black gay man (US) visiting Warsaw this summer"
b . see that "Warsaw is the natural capital of Europe, not Brussels"
c. put my finger deep up my nose
d. sing "Głęboka studzienka" all day long
d. "eat goulash from a cat and a steak from a dog in Poland"
e. all the above

5. The capital of Poland is
a. Carcow
b. Sweeden
c. polish
d. a damned communist rathole
e. full of pasifistic homo-muslims

Do you mean I forgot about the default "none of the above" option? Press return and you will be just fine.. :-)

If the banks have plunged the world in to a recession and get bailed out using tax payer's money, who should we blame?

1. The bankers, corrupt politicians and some unscrupulousness developers.
2. Immigrants.
3. The tooth fairy.

If you are reading this far and can't decide here's a clue:

They are mentioned in the question.
