1 did i win ?

My wife takes care of this stuff anyways, am i safe hehehehehehe ?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I'm from Vancouver BC which I understand has similar weather to the UK. Personally it wasn't really the rain that bothered me, and there is about 10 months of it there, it's the constant grey skies that really got me down. :(

I'm not American, I'm Canadian.

Of course we say English over here because we all know that tradionally the English have ruled over all the others. Isn't Ireland where the even more drunken English live and Scottland where the gay English that like wearing skirts live? The others you mentioned are just English ghettos, right?

Vancouver struck me as a beautiful city, I'd swap it for anywhere in the UK any day, rain or no rain. Although I did only spend a day there.

I climb with a couple of British guys. Really nice fellows and outstanding climbers but we rarely agree on anything. I call the protection we place in the rock "gear" and they call it "kit". We can never agree on musical taste. Our tastes in food couldn't be any more different.

There's only two things we really ever agree on. The first is Red Dwarf is a comedy masterpiece and the second is that the French fucking suck.

40+40x0+1= 40+(40x0)+1=41

this thread got really hillarious, thanks for the morning laugh

Oh so you are saying its universal? Wow! what a good idea to make things like that!! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

awesome thread...i made one similar before...same people came out to fight for idiocy..lol

40 + 40 x 0 + 1 = 40 + (40 x 0) + 1 = 41

If there were brackets, only 2 more options are left
(40 + 40) x 0 + 1 = 80 x 0 + 1 = (80 x 0) + 1 = 1

and the final option...

40 + 40 x (0 + 1) = 40 + (40 x 1) = 80


eehmmm, YES! It's called maths and they're universal.

QFT! :thumbsup

41

Now back to work!








.

the answer is 420

I just had a math class that I had to complete. Lots of problems just like this.

I got an A in the class. I was really surprised by how much I had retained, even though I had pretty much never used any of it since learning in Middle and High School.

ehm ... hello? any fingure multiplicated with ZERO is ZERO ... and you forgot; devide and multiply comes first :2 cents:

41

Different calculators follow different orders of operations. Most non-scientific calculators without a stack work left to right without any priority given to different operators, for example giving

1 + 2 X 3 = 9

while more sophisticated calculators will use a more standard priority, for example giving

1 + 2 X 3 = 7

41 the rest of you people are complete fucking idiots.

40 plus 40 x 0 = 0 then a +1

Answer is 1

According to Metadork you are a retard :1orglaugh

wow, this thread just keeps going.

:1orglaugh

Please keep going, this is fucking brilliant reading!

I'm amazed at the answers in here, some people are about a generation away from apes...

oh sweet lord jesus page 5 :1orglaugh

This thread delivers :1orglaugh

longest gfy educational thread ever?

Math is POPULAR! 5 pages! :)

Jel you're doing it wrong mate. a Scientific Calculator should do the maths in BODMAS. You apparently wasn't taught that in school. I was and I'm from the UK aswell.

If you don't have an order the answer is 1.

If you use BODMAS it is 41.

Honestly, i deserve to win that Ipad right?

I'm pretty sure they mean creating a thread that's educational. This is a troll thread so no you don't. :2 cents:

yes I know I'm wrong now :)

So is my computer calculator so at least I have company :p

Honestly, I was never taught to always use order of blahblah at school, just the opposite, ie no brackets meant left to right. Not best pleased that I was taught wrong either lol :1orglaugh

See, the answer is always 41 though isn't it, and never 1. Like you say, a scientific calc gives 41, whereas a normal calc (like the one in start > programs > accessories) gives 1, even though that is obviously (I now know) wrong.

Waiting until my maths teacher mate gets home so I can give him shit about the state of our education :D

putting this in a normal calculator from left to right gives you 1 - but it's simply wrong. Math has rules and they also didnt change recently.

You weren't taught wrong, maybe you just weren't taugh BODMAS aswell. That is why these questions exist, it's not because they can easily be done wrong. It's because they can be done 2 different ways.

If I wanted to know what 2 lots of 7+5 were. I could write it down like 7 + 5 X 2 = ?

And everyone here saying 41 is the right answer to this equation would get my equation wrong.

I wanted to know what 7 + 5 x 2 = ?. And the answer to my question is 24.

If you use BODMAS it would be 17.

Exackery, which is why I'm fucking pissed off that I wasn't taught about the order of blahblah. Hate that shit, it's like those cunt teachers who tell you camels carry water in their humps, and it isn't until later someone tells you that isn't true that you realise.

Kinda funny too though :1orglaugh

Your equation is written wrong.

Ok wait now I'm fucking confused - either the bodmas rule ALWAYS applys, or it doesn't. Seems it always does, and the answer should always be 17, even though 10 hours ago I'd have said 24.

I was taught bodmas in the sense that anything in brackets was done that way, but that without those brackets, bodmas didn't enter into it. Which is obviously what a bunch of us were taught also, hence us looking like cunts :D

So your question, you would have to arrange (7 + 5) x 2, else it's always gonna be 17. Apparently.

You're absolutely correct. This is an example of where parentheses is required to specify that the addition takes priority. Another way of saying this is that the addition happens on a higher level than the multiplication.

As I said, to avoid confusion, the rules of Math always apply. Otherwise you'd come up with different answers to the same equation depending on how you decided to do it.

Yeah it is written wrong. If I was doing it in my head I would do it in that order though, from left to right. Wouldn't put brackets around it though in my head :winkwink:.

(5 + 7) X 2 = 24

hahahaha

alright we're having weekly math problems on gfy

Yeah, totally get it now, as others have stated, it's not hard (no wonder people were laughing so much lol), so far everyone of my age refuses to believe the answer to the OP is 41, we just weren't taught it, pretty fucking unbelievable really.

It doesn't matter really, since in the end, the answer to EVERYTHING is.....




42.







.

Yeah, I had written it wrong, in my head it was correct. I'm pretty sure people don't imagine brackets when they think of how many is 7 plus 5 then multiplied by 2.

man some boneheads here. Math has rules and they are easy.

41... and if u are not sure simply use google to do it!

40 + 40 x 0 + 1= ?

it's 40+ (40x0) +1 = 40+0+1=41
very simple

It depends who asks me

PPS on sponsors
40+40 = 80 x (0+1) = 80

Conversion ration
40 + 40x0 + 1 = 1:1

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

and when it comes to finally paying the result is 0 in many cases :Oh crap

Lol yeah

Hey bro we do 40 + 40 x 0 + 1 overall

80 PPS
1:1 Conversions
0 payout

Works always , this is the magic formula!:1orglaugh

thats when you use a bro-entific calculator
