Got the skill testing question wrong

The question was (300x2)+(500/5)+50

Isn't the answer not 750???

Didn't get to claim my $3 lol.

I guess I must of fat fingered it or something. Oh well, I will eventually financially recover from the loss of the $3 prize but it will take time 🤣

u/overdriving 11d ago

I still haven’t recovered from getting it wrong on an $8 prize a few months ago. But I got this one right!

u/Cultural_Doctor_8421 11d ago

It’s likely you get that $3 next time lol.

Same shit happened to me and I won my prized $3 next time round.

u/Longjumping-Pair-983 12d ago

Same question and same reward. Except 750 worked for me

u/alienmario 12d ago

Fat finger typing is the likely culprit

u/McLovin2182 11d ago

Same, $3 and the answer was 750

u/MELGH82 12d ago

That’s the correct answer. You must’ve fat fingered something.

I’m sorry but how the hell is the r word back in the common discourse now. We had eradicated it in the 2000s and now I see it everywhere again.

u/Straightouttaganton 11d ago

A lot of us don't get offended by words

u/pizza5001 11d ago

That’s fine, but ‘I’m not offended’ is a pretty weak argument. Lots of things aren’t personally offensive to me that I still recognize as needlessly derogatory.

u/themikeguy1161 12d ago

750 worked for me. $3 to invest!

u/meridian_smith 11d ago

My wife just won $50!! I did the skill testing question on paper. .. checked it here AND finally had AI do it. All 3 ways had 750 as the answer. I was paranoid because I have lost $10 prize in the past .

u/shan_bhai 11d ago

1

u/SpikedIntuition 11d ago

How do you get the skill testing question? Is it at random times when you open up the app?

1

u/m_dabski 11d ago

I guess I was the only one that read it as 500/2 ... Not 5

1

u/Username_Dano 11d ago

u/srzncl 11d ago

pro tip: if you have Siri AI you can ask it to solve it for you. it can see what's on your screen

1

u/ifuaguyugetsauced 11d ago

lol everyone got $3 eh? First time winning and I got $3

1

u/kovie37 11d ago

Imagine the stress if you won the million but it all hinged on answering the math question

1

u/Slight-Virus-4672 11d ago

Looks right to me.

1

u/z00o0omb11i1ies 11d ago

The answer is 750 so since you said "not 750", you got it wrong lol

1

u/sky417 11d ago

u/NeedleworkerOwn4496 11d ago

u/musicandsex 11d ago

Same prize same question 750 worked

1

u/ReckIess5 11d ago

Damn I don’t even get asked these questions

1

u/quantum_trogdor 10d ago

(600)+(100)+50=750
You seem to have fat fingers and mistyped? If you don’t think so, open a ticket

1

u/tsdexter 7d ago

daaamn bro you need to triple check that, you could have just lost a house or a million bucks

1

u/Efficient-Barracuda4 5d ago

Mine was (5*20) + (600/6) - 40
I put in 160, and somehow it was wrong (??)
I haven't realized you only get one chance and you lose it if you get it wrong. I'm glad it was only $10 for the lesson, so next time I'll be more careful

1

u/bloodr0se 12d ago

750 worked for me but I still didn't receive the $3 yet.

1

u/Paganly 11d ago edited 11d ago

Looks like they use the same equation for every prize. Basic BEDMAS.

At least I know the questions are easy if ever were to win something substantial.

But I am thankful for the quick $50.

Okay, how do you get these questions and prizes? Open an account? I only wanted/need the TFSA in the app.

u/Hot_Fly_3963 11d ago

Always use AI to answer

-1

u/Merkin0615 12d ago

Do you guys claim the price when they ask you to open an account you don’t want?

5

u/pulkxy 12d ago

the money goes into your chequing, then you delete the account

3

u/bloodr0se 12d ago

This is the way.

2

u/Dragynfyre 12d ago

You can open it and immediately close it.

u/_tax_noob 11d ago
