Anonymous Coward User ID: 1348201 United Kingdom 05/03/2011 07:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Alright, there's a lot of self-proclaimed experts around these parts. Let's see how your logic holds up against some basic mathematics. Quoting: Syrius6÷2(1+2) = ? I'll give two hints. This is NOT a trick question, and there is only 1 correct answer. All tools used for computation are fair game. (Yes, I saw this somewhere else and decided to post it here.) Best of luck to all you geniuses . answer is 1 Step1: 2(1+2) = 6 step2: 6/6 = 1 |

Grauwolf User ID: 1367967 Germany 05/03/2011 07:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... You guys realize this is the same equation as 6/2(1+2) ? Quoting: SyriusMight be too early. 6 - * (1+2) 2 = 3(1+2) = 3+6 = 9 Winter is coming! --------- Resistance is fertile! --------- It is no measure of mental health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. --------- soon... |

Best of luck to all you geniuses . 9 of course 1 + 2 = 3 then we don't have priority parenthesis and priority of * and / are the same but calculations are done from left to right. So finally 6 / 2 * 3 = 3 * 3 = 9 What's the problem? Are American really that poorly educated? It is a math problem for 7 years old in Russia and China. We did much more complex equations when we were first grader. Goodness. I am even afraid to ask how much will be (x / sin (x^2))' | x=pi/2 (simple high school math problem in Russia) |

Syrius (OP) User ID: 1289074 United States 05/03/2011 07:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So far it looks like "9" is the dominant answer. Quoting: SyriusI'll check in later, compile all the categories of answers, and make a viewable .pdf spreadsheet. I'd also like to see the percentage by country who answer "1", or "9". Good call. Does anyone else's gut hurt from laughing at some of the proposed answers? Going to need some PK's soon if this continues. All around me are familiar faces... Worn out places...Worn out faces... |
