no spam question; answer incorrect.

GarryVernne · 04-16-2008, 03:14 PM

Though I'd let you know that one of your registration 'no spam' questions has an incorrect answer

1 + 2 + 6 x 3 != 27

Order of operations says (BEDMAS) multiplication before addition.

1 + 2 + 6 x 3 = 21
1 + 2 + 18 = 21
21 = 21

Ahhh, there shouldn't have even been a question like that in it. I have removed it, thanks for letting us know!

But doesn't 3!=3x2x1?
Therefore:
1+2+6x3!
1+2+(6x(3x2x1))
1+2+(6x6)
1+2+(36) = 39

Still doesn't equal 27 though...

Yes, I know that random junk.
Why, I'm not sure. The things I'll never need to know is what sticks in my head.
But I can't do simple long division without a problem.
