Apr 1, 2018
Ok so using PEMDAS 2 + 3 x 5 + 6 becomes 23 not 31. Second of all, the Mayans didn't predict the world would end, their calendar just ended because they believed humanity would enter a new era starting in 2012. Third, Bahamas and Bermuda don't touch the Caribbean Sea, the are in the Atlantic. Last but not least, America is a not a country, the United States of America is.

But yeah, good April fools joke

All you Americans are wrong about one thing. It is MATHS not math, short for mathematics ! oh and the answer is ? ......... who gives a damn.
+3
Level 82
Apr 5, 2018
It's not mathsematics. And mathematics is not plural anyway, it just happens to end in "s."
+2
Level 70
Aug 17, 2018
Well, it is uncount. It has some features of a singular noun and some of a plural. But if I had to say which, I'd say singular.
+2
Level 82
Apr 1, 2019
Right, so, turning it in to "maths", on the assumption that because it ends in "s" means that it's plural, is wrong. It would be similar to abbreviating "economics" as "econs" instead of just "econ"

Level 69
Sep 4, 2018
But you don't go to sciences class, or histories class, or Englishes class… so why "maths"?? American for the Q.E.D.!

The maths question is wrong so is the largest country.

Please correct, there can't be two wrong answers just as it's April fools day

31! Bummer! I tried 55 and 33. I even got desperate and tried the right answer -- 23. If I'd only turned around the method I'd used to get 33 I would have got it.
+1
Level 44
Apr 1, 2018
31 is not the correct answer. Multiplication goes before addition, making the answer 23.

No, you do them in alphabetical order, so it would be:

2+3*5+6

= 2+3*11 (as 5 is the first alphabetically)

= 2+33 (as 11 is first alphabetically)

= 35

Jaja nice quiz though. I think incredible that America is a common answer for some people, 'cause outside USA, America is clearly a continent itself, divided between north and south. It has no space for misunderstandings.

My Argentinian relatives would agree with you. In Central Europe, however, people often call the USA "America". (kalbahamut might stop by here and explain that your life has been a lie)

Level 51
Apr 1, 2018
I will echo previous comments--at least two wrong answers given. "America" is not a country. Australia is the correct answer. And, for the math problem, look up or google PEMDAS. Answer is 23. How in the world did you get 31?
+6
Level 59
Apr 2, 2018
I think the better question is:

How in the world did you manage to read the comments saying that Australia and 23 were the proper answers, yet miss practically every other comment?

Jun 5, 2018
I'm sure there are more comments about this quiz being an April Fools, so how did you miss them?

Level 15
Apr 1, 2018
That was confusing, questions like the one about tomatoes, ostriches and Marco Polo and Santa were correct, but then there were also strewn through some randomly incorrect ones like America and the maths were incorrect.

Then some were misconceptions that were proved wrong, like the Bumble Bee one.

I'm not sure if it makes sense for April Fools or not :P
