6 - 1 x 0 + 2 / 2 =

doh!

Done

Looks like the answer is disputed across the t'internet...

 

[CliveWalkerWingWizard]

Looked at the answer on internet - I disagree with it surely it is BIDMAS A before S

Isn't everything?

 

[Butch Willykins]

I'm not sure I got this correct.

However what I did learn in maths was how to write BOOBLESS and BOOBIES on a calculator, which I would say is much more helpful in real life than being able to work this sum out.

 

[brightn'ove]

There can only be one answer though!

well yes, but people use BODMAS incorrectly to try and engineer a bullshit answer

A and S means A OR S. if you are left with a subraction THEN an addition, you just calculate left to right, you don't do the addition first. This is the reason people are disputing it, because they are WRONG.

Not forgetting ESSO of course!

How many people will get this right?

I cannot answer this as I believe that more than 7 people will get this right, there is no option for this

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

I may have got it right! or wrong...but i think its right.

 

[lighthouse]

I prefer BOOBS

 

[Garage_Doors]

199 people have responded, and 37% are correct.

This seems to be continually falling from an early 60%ish being correct.

When do we get to see what you believe it to be?

 

[Triggaaar]

Got enough answers yet?

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Jeeezus Christ! The inhabitants have taken over the Asylum! Wot the feck are you lot on about. Is it that special nod-nod-wink-wink thing with a special hand-shake?
Hopefully when football returns to our lives all this nonsense will go down the nearest drain!

if you think of subtraction as just the addition of negative numbers, ie. 5 - 3 is 5 + (-3), it doesnt matter what order it is done in as addition is associative. eg. 1 - 2 + 3 = 1 + (-2) + 3 = 2 whether you do the 1 + (-2) first or the (-2)+3 first. similarly division can be thought of as multiplication by a fraction, ie. 4/2 = 4 x (1/2) = 2, and a similar thing applies. so when it comes to BODMAS it could easily have been BOMDAS or BOMDSA or BODMSA, but BODMAS probably sounded better.

Oooh, I didn't see that

Ok, stand corrected.

I got it right, but I am a Maths teacher at a secondary school. If I have got the wrong answer then please reveal this to the world on my behalf
