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

[QUOTE=Dirty F;18545773But then i saw people replying with 4 different answers.[/QUOTE]

The World is full of idiots.

it equals 2 Fitty :Graucho

All we have really learned is that there are a lot of people on GFY who don't know basic math and that Frank is some kind of genius.

The answer is either 1, 41 or 81. I dont need to know anymore than that. lols

a lot of people here should never ever complain about ratios again. If they do, sponsors should pull this thread.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

great thread Franck :thumbsup

I know...

I dont remember much from school,but i remember order of operations very good,and how if you wanted to calculate differently you need to use brackets.

most of yall are some GIANT intellectual pussies.
NO ONE EVER DIED from admitting to being wrong. here, watch. I'll go first.

when i first looked at the title, i of course thought the answer was 1.
but then when someone came in and explained the actual order things go in with math, i realized the mistake i had made and now i see that the answer is 41.

see?
i was wrong.
i admitted it.
I STILL DRAW BREATH.


fuckers.

A cautionary tale for anyone that didn't say 41 ...

A friend's sister was lucky enough to win a big screen TV in a contest a couple of years ago. I'm not sure if it's just Canada, but here you have to answer a skill-testing question to win a prize, just a simple little math question anyone could answer, but it's a legal technicality that means you got the prize by using skill to earn it. The question she had to answer was something along these lines, with a "+" and a "x", and she didn't use order of operations, answered it WRONG and didn't get her prize.

So if you didn't answer 41, please brush up on your grade 6 math or you never know what you might miss out on !!!

I forwarded this thread to CERN. They told me the answer is actually: who really gives a single fuck.

Yeah, but you don't know how much a billion is, so meh.

The answer is 1.

I like sausages.

Still???? :helpme

:1orglaugh

(turns out I have 2 mates who teach maths)

Teacher #1: got taught it in school, teaches it

Teacher #2: didn't get taught it in school, teaches it

So fuck knows why some were and some weren't :1orglaugh

i cant believe how many people get this wrong

i feel sorry for you guys :(

i know the answer to the meaning of life is 42, if that helps.

it would have been amusing if that hadnt been mentioned like 5 times now

My son studying to become a web programmer says it's 41

(shit hope he's right:Oh crap:1orglaugh)

40 + 40 x 0 + 1= an ambiguous equation

40 +(40 x 0) + 1 = 41
(40+40) x 0 + 1 = 1
40 + 40 x (0 + 1) = 80

No, it's not.

Why is that? I have to be honest, it is an equation (theory) that I do not recall ever having to use in real life.


It is that, and I had not even thought of the 80 equation.

No, it's not ambigious. That's the whole point of the order of operations rules.

We aren't in the 17th century..today we use brackets.

We use brackets when they're needed. In this case they are not needed. How do you know brackets are done first? Because they're covered in the order of operations. This stuff is taught every day to middle school children in this century. If you don't want to believe me that's fine, but you're just being silly. There's nothing ambigious about this equation.

it's not about "fashion" or when was done what...

with or without brackets it simply makes it two different equations

I know because I have a degree in mechanical engineering. I took math classes for 9 semesters. Every freshmen gets that order of operations gag from a professor with a sense of humor. Turn in a paper with an equation written without proper brackets and you fail. There is a reason we have been using brackets for the last 400 years.
