what the world comming too

[gohan]

on face book one of my mates just answered one of those shit poles for this question

1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+1x0 =? with 14.


.....


now my issues are

1. it's clearly 0
2. it would be 15 anyway without the x 0
3. 564k people answered 0, the next highest with 468k was 14
4. IT WOULD BE 15 WITHOUT THE X 0



i want to cry



in my rage i may have missed the s off what's

 

[GimmlyThe3rd]

I actually got 17 with out the x0.

 

[Punishment]

i got 16

 

[Helme]

It's 15 without the 0, there's a minus in the middle which is kinda easy to glance over.

 

[BloodOmen]

its 17 without the x0 :x

 

[Helme]

1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+1 - Google Search

It's 15

 

[old.Tohtori]

Well yeah, the x0 kinda ruins it, but it would be 15 without it. The minus is really fun

though since you're on face-f*cking-book, you fail already at the competition of "what's the world coming to"

 

[dysfunction]

It depends on how you calculate it....if you added brackets you could end up with 0...

 

[old.Tohtori]

There's only one way to calculate because there's no brackets.

 

[Rulke]

I thought you did multiplications and divisions first in the order of calculation. In which case the answer is 14

15 1's - 1, + 0

 

[Zenith.UK]

It is 14.

BODMAS = Brackets, Order, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction

Multiplication takes priority over addition/subtraction.
There are no brackets, exponents or division. The multiplication only operates on the last 1.

1x0=0
10 1's added, 1 subtracted, 5 added, 0 added = 14

 

[Helme]

And yes, the real answer is 14 because there's no brackets.

bleh beatean

edit again: I wish Swedish had cool mnemonics, but either I wasn't taught any or they don't exist

 

[ST^]

1. it's clearly 0

lol.

As long as the person asking the question knows about BODMAS then yes...

So it looks like your dumb mate gohan was indeed correct

if you still arent convinced put it into excel
=1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+1*0

 

[gohan]

i thought it was the opposite, if the last part was brackets i.e


1+1+1 and so on +1+1+(1x0)


if the whole thing is x 0 then it's 0


as u go in order

like 6+6x0 is 0 not 12

but 6+(6x0) would be 6


no?

No.

It is 14.

[gohan]

No.

then whats the point in brackets if with or without them it's exactly the same?

 

[Helme]

You're putting the brackets wrong, to get the 0 you're after you'd need to do it like this:

(1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+1)x0

 

[gohan]

(1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+1)x0

just did it on calculator and it said 0 :< calculator has no brackets


you're all lying

 

[Sparx]

put exactly what it says in excel like i said
=1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+1*0

 

[gohan]

put exactly what it says in excel like i said
=1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+1*0

i don't have excel


tho on my HTC calculator is comes up with 14, but on my other phone it's 0



EVEN THE PHONES CAN'T AGREE!!!!!!

 

[Sparx]

Well Excel says 14 too

 

[dysfunction]

You have to do it in this order:

1x0+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1

BODMAS dictates you have to do it in that order.

If you go by bodmas, surely the stages would go;

1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+1x0
1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+0
10 - 6 = 4

No?

10 - 6 = 4

No?

nah subtraction is last it would make it

1x0+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1 =14


but i don't see why u don't jsut put it like that to begin with

 

[Sparx]

It wouldnt be a trick question otherwise

 

[gohan]

It wouldnt be a trick question otherwise

i don't like tricks :<

just glad i didn't rip him on FB

Bah, humbug. Rearranging stuff willinilly.
