wrong answer :thumbsup

I have seen a lot. Just because i haven't seen it doesn't mean other rules start to apply.

I'm not in need for work, btw, you couldnt afford me ;)

Holy Fuck! I get 666! You've polluted our minds and now we are all controlled by the devil over this thread. What kind of trickery is this?

So is that a no?

I'm not snarking, I honestly want to understand all this.

I just find it fascinating in your case. See Franck and Divy and those types not knowing the answer isn't surprising. They don't present as well educated, intelligent and successful.

Anyways, directly from the University of Wisconsin website:

the answer is 41

In the perfect world, the equation itself should be written like this: 40 X 0 + 40 + 1 =

But it isn't :1orglaughmwauhahahahaha

Countdown has a lot to answer for. Carol & her inserting brackets when none are needed...

Besides what Warchild posted a few posts above, you're really expecting someone to write a + bc as a + (bc)?

The brackets should be used to help readability of more complex equations but not when it's as dead simple as above. The quote that Warchild posted from the university website sums it up well.

So say that a + bc is ambiguous is nonsensical.

Order of operations. Parentheses are used to indicate the order of doing the operations: in
evaluating an expression with parentheses the innermost matching pairs are evaluated rst as in
((1 + 2)2 + 5)2 = (32 + 5)2 = (9 + 5)2 = 142 = 196:

Thanks for making my point. Dinner was excellent this evening.

Okay so you are just trolling. Fair enough.

Eight pages arguing over a math equation?



Fucking nerds.

this thread is still going... ? :)

I guess this thread will go until page 41 :Oh crap

if you said anything besides 41. You fail at math.

EOF

:1orglaugh

I was shocked when this thread reached page 3, cant believe this is still going!

Answer is 1, how many people even finished school here???

41 is the only right answer.

It goes like this: 40 + 40 x 0 + 1= ?
You have to follow the math rules for order of operations.
the first order of operation is 40x0 = 0

40 + (40X0) + 1=
40 + 0 + 1 = 41

Those who still don't get it?

How the fuck you guys know your checks are correct?!

Serously....... stop it. :mad:

I am selling Advertising space in this thread on CPM terms.

I know you are an intelligent guy and successful - however what i'm saying is if you were able to pass 9 semesters of maths and not learn a thing then how is that even possible?

This thread is strong!

Are you not reading what he is saying? Fuck, you make the people who said 1 (me included) look like brain surgeons.

Very simple, 41.

No!! It's 57 :winkwink:

my caculator gives '1' as the correct answer... any number multiplied by '0' the answer is '0'

Discussing mathematics with people that think a billion is a thousand million is amusing.

40 + 40 = 80, times 0 = 80, +1 = 81.

So....81?

80 times 0 = 0

Maybe you don't know there is two different scales in use. Long scale and short scale. Most of the English speaking world uses the short scale where there is indeed 1,000 million in 1 billion.

Uhm...

Ouch...

Maybe you don't know when I'm taking the piss?

:)

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

Possibility 1: There's a lot of people on GFY that don't want to admit they're wrong.
Possibility 2: There's a lot of people posting in this thread that only read the OP and not the rest of the thread.
Possibility 3: there's a lot of http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/images...x750-97874.jpg going on.


</captain obvious>

Do it step by step ...


The answer is 1 ... can be no other answer unless you change the question and use () in it.

Unbelievable.

8 pages and no cure for cancer yet? Very dissapointed. :1orglaugh

My tip calculator on my phone says 41.

Are you really serious???

You can't do it step by step cause you have to follow math rules for order of operations!
These rules are basic in maths! That means it's about the same of knowing figures 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,... and X,:,+ and -. So if you don't know these basics, you will fail!

The only way to do it is:
40 + (40X0=0) + 1= 41


BTW: here are the rules for order of operations:

Rule 1: First perform any calculations inside parentheses.
Rule 2: Next perform all multiplications and divisions, working from left to right.
Rule 3: Lastly, perform all additions and subtractions, working from left to right.

yall posting in a..

no way we can quit with this thing so close to page 9 lets go!!!

Here's another example:
3 + 6 x (5 + 4) ÷ 3 - 7 = ?

Solution:
Step 1: 3 + 6 x (5 + 4) ÷ 3 - 7 = 3 + 6 x 9 ÷ 3 - 7 Parentheses
Step 2: 3 + 6 x 9 ÷ 3 - 7 = 3 + 54 ÷ 3 - 7 Multiplication
Step 3: 3 + 54 ÷ 3 - 7 = 3 + 18 - 7 Division
Step 4: 3 + 18 - 7 = 21 - 7 Addition
Step 5: 21 - 7 = 14 Subtraction

Solution = 14.

Easy!

The answer is "VAGINA"

For anyone gets anything but 1 as the answer please forward all your checks and program payments to me, signed over to me, and I will make sure you get paid the right amount.

No really....... stop it now. :mad:

So now we know that mathematics, reading and comprehension are not your strong points.

The best part is that they see the thread is 8 pages long. Obviously there has been a discussion on the issue and even if I were a million percent sure I'd read the thread before looking like an idiot at that point. I mean, unless someone was streaming live and died while doing the math problem while fingering themselves why else would we be on page 8?

OMG, its 41...
