And the retarded answers keep pouring in! It's not the slightest bit complicated, for fuck's sake! This is remedial arithmetic for the semi-vegetative!

OHHHHHHHHHH, what was this you fuckin pus$Y?

HAHahAHHAHAha


yeah 4-9 you must be proud

let me know when you want to know the transfer info so you can send the money $$$$

 

[Presto]

Come on guys, the answer is 5. This is not a trick question like some of the others out there. This is really a question that they teach in 6th elementary school.

If they teach kids past third grade with a question like this, our education system is beyond pathetic.

Watch "Are you smarter than a 5th Grader" sometime ( airs Thursdays,I think), or go to their website and read the recaps of the questions asked, and sometimes missed.

classic one is some broad that didn't know Canada is the country North of US.

Its funny, he has never answered to that since. He just ignores it like he never made that post.

How could any person with a normal IQ get that question wrong? Yet, there are a ton of people in this thread alone that can't see that it's 5. Someone explain the logic that you used to come up with a number other than 5. I want to understand what the hell you could possibly be thinking. Are you guys all heatohio ghosts?

I agree Illini, but I'd also say if you asked 100 people representing a good random selection typical of the population that exists, probably like 60% ( at best) give the correct answer, and that's optomistic. It might be like 40%

I axed my wife this ( she's dumb as dirt), she gave about 7 wrong answers... and gave up.

A lot of peeps are real bad at math, they shouldn't gamble.

It's a ship of fools we have in America... good thing we have a president that surely knows the answer ?... or does he ?

 

[808gambler]

EXT...So what is the correct answer???....I came out with 5 myself. Didn't seem like a trick question to me??...hmmmm

Ganch said the question was not worth dignifying with an answer by him ( to me in a PM) basically because it is so obvious the answer is 5, so don't expect a post from him saying it is 5, maybe I'll post his PM, not sure that's proof, don't care.

IT's $5... case closed !

Doug, we need to open up a casino. I knew people were dumb. But not this dumb.

I don't think he would object, so I'll post his PM

Cool. Thanks Doug. I'll check it out.

Scott: Unrelated, but the poor guys at the RX really need you to tell them the answer to this is 5.

Some people are really embarrasing themselves in this thread

Wow.

Anyone coming up with a number less than 5 please get my email from a mod, I will gladly book your business. of course it will be post up. And here is how the bonus will work. You send me 500, I'll give you 700. Then you can send me 900 and I will give you 1200. Only catch is you have to know how much your bonus was or you get nothing. Of course there will be a roll over and instead of giving you -110 lines you can have 6/5.

What if they get more than 5,like 7 or 12 or something ? I guess that works too ?

 

[TomorrowsNewspaper]

I was going to put a disclaimer that you and Illini cant play. I feel I could give you guys a negative bonus and you could figure a way to scalp it out for a profit.

Coin forum equivelant of Wilheim locked my thread as OT, but one guy said $7.

agree totally, the only problem is peeps get sidetracked on re-buying the item, honestly took me 30 seconds to figure it out, and before reading other responses.

F, why you go off on me,man ?

 

[mike0187]

the reason many people miss the question, is because of the fact that he tells you many people miss the question. that is the only 'trick' about this.
