[quote:Anonymous Coward 32057798:MV8xNDczMDcwXzM1NjQ1MTQ5X0JCQjI5MURG] Also folks nowadays think they must convert into operators, such as 2n = 2*n Well, 2n is a single unit, and yes, it is evaluated as 2 * n, however, it is STILL a single unit, and must be treated like the following: 2n = (2n) = (2*n) 2 is a quantity here. I have 2 n's. Like 2 cars. I don't say " I have 2 times cars" A carton of eggs, or a dozen eggs: 12 eggs. A mole of carbon: 6.022x10^23 atoms 24g ÷ 1mole of carbon 24g ÷ 6.022x10^23 and NOT (24 ÷ 6.022) x 10^23 [/quote]

Alright, there's a lot of self-proclaimed experts around these parts. Let's see how your logic holds up against some basic mathematics.
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 .
