Its unreal how surely the 9 folks believe they are correct. Telling indeed. [/quote] The 9 folks like me believe they are correct because they were taught that when there is a number before parenthesis it means to multiply. In the real world people don't do that. When they want you to multiply they write out the times symbol. I don't know what they taught you in Canada or Australia, but in America you do the math in parenthesis first, then the rest following order of operations. [/quote]

6÷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 .
