==Question format==
The most common form that these questions take is as an [[mathematical exercise|arithmetic exercise]]. A court decision ruled that a mathematical STQ must contain at least three operations to actually be a test of skill. For example, a sample question is "(2 × 4) + (10 × 3)" (Answer: 38). The winner should not receive any assistance (e.g. calculator, asking another individual) in answering the STQ. Enforcement of these rules is not very stringent, especially for small prizes. The player may not be required to answer the STQ to claim a prize. The questions are also becoming easier.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.wired.com/2007/01/dumb-math-tests-a-canadian-thing/ |title=Dumb Math Tests a Canadian Thing |publisher=Wired |date=2007-01-18}}</ref> For contests held in other countries but open to Canadians, a STQ must be asked of any potential Canadian winner.
