If you win a lottery and pay half the winnings in taxes, I am sure you would prefer to live in Canada where such winnings are tax-free.

yep sounds like 203 to me.. thanks to my trusty Calculator.. OH.. I'm Canadian eh... lol

[((90 - 47) x 18 ) / 4] + 9.5
90-47 = 43
43x18 = 774
774 / 4 = 193.5
193.5 + 9.5 = 203

:D

u r absolutely correct bunnie.   the answer is 203.  but i will tell u one thing,  i am soooooooooo glad i dont live in canada and i do live in the u.s.  ???

We Canadians are accustomed to the skill testing questions. I don't think any Canadian will find it offensive or anything.

I asked someone about this and was told that because winning a prize or the jackpot is all up to luck or chance, Canadian law doesn't permit someone to claim prizes based on that, so they ask the math question instead and when you are correct, you can claim your prize.  I don't know about Canadian law....I live in Texas.

So .. let me see if I have this correct. If you are Canadian and win a prize - you can't claim it unless you have math skills?

Is pogo going to ask you to convert the dollars to canadian yourself?

This just doesn't seem right- probably yes for pogo - right... d'oh!

LPW...
