The answer is 41 period.
Do you guys really call it MathS in the UK? That sounds so strange. Math is short for Mathematics which already has an S.

Heh, edited before I could reply ;)
Yes, maths in the uk, as there is no 'mathematic', eg automobiles shortened = autos, automobile shortened = auto.
The notation, I was always taught at least, though redwhiteand blue says is different, is that the notation *is* the use of parentheses, so none = a notation in itself.
