Anyone!!!!! Please? [/quote] Jesus, put it in a calc. You will get both depending on which you are using. [/quote] Why would you trust the calc programmer? [/quote] I am not depending on that. I have done the math problem. Checked it with each variable possible. The answer is 9. I want someone with an answer of 1 to show me a website to go along with his answer. If I would of tried 1 website, I would say your argument has merit. But I have tried over 10+ math websites, excel, and 2 calculators. Pretty overwhelming evidence. [/quote] I'm calling bs, just did it on 2 reg sci calcs and got 1. If you use graphing you will get 9 because of the programming. But then you could say the same about the scientific, so, which is correct? [/quote] Then you should be able to find a website that will go along with your "calculator". I will wait here....... [/quote] There are millions of "websites" that say both, that does not make either correct or incorrect. [/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 .
