10 + 10 x 0 ?

I was almost afraid to come in here after yesterday!

Uh, zero? Oops, didn't see the multiple choice at the top. Now I used it.

Math quiz of the day:

What is:

10 + 10 x 0 ?

Is this some engineering thing or IT thing that does not equal 0?

 

[Beowulf]

I'm too skeered to answer!

 

[posts from hell]

I answered 10.

Will explain why later.

Basic math.

This is something that certain posters probably will use in order to deem you "dumb" or "respectable".

Not me!

More of a test to see if anyone remembers a TINY TINY rule that we all probably learned at some point in high school. (This should be a hint, btw...) It also points out who is currently in high school!

Basic math.

I am honestly very bad at math and uncertain what is a trick question and what is straightforward.

Oh, dang. Order of operations! Can I change my answer?

That's what happens when your math is limited to running stats on SPSS!

hehehe, i like trick math.

"Order of operations."

*smacking my head*

Can I change my poll answer?

 

[Daredevel7]

Too bad! Too bad!! Can't change your answer!!!

My first answer would have been 'other', since the clear answer is Σ (2x*π - ¾x³) as x approaches ∞.

So my next guess is 10.

it wasn't a trick to me though

I am sure it wasn't.

I had to look up order of operations on this one because I wanted to know how PFH came at his answer. I'm like doh! Math never was my forte. I'm a LD student in non-verbal reasoning.

I'm just old and took high school math like 100 years ago!

Explanation: Can't forget the order of operations.

1st : Do any calculations inside parentheses/brackets.
2nd: Do any exponential/power calculations.
3rd: Do all multiplications and divisions, working from left to right.
4th: Do all additions and subtractions, working from left to right.

Some people use BEDMAS to remind them the order (Brackets, Exponential, Division, Multiplication, Add, Subtract).

Now.. for the REAL reason why I started this poll in the first place: I saw this today and it cracked me up.

Fave quote:

No brackets = no bedmas!

Funny explanations!
