Someone show me a math website that comes up with 1.

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]

Why calcs give both.

If someone can show me 1 math website that comes up with 1 I will agree. Even though I can show 10+ websites with 9.

I just need 1. One website.

Anyone?

What if I make a smilie? lol
[/quote]

You have Pat, several time today.
[/quote]

Lol, I meant pic of calc, but touche.
[/quote]

That may work, but I always worry about human error with that sort of thing. Changing settings on calculator, wrong format etc.

With a website, I can tell if the equation was input exactly as the OP put it.

Original Message 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 .
