what the world comming too

OH DEAR

It's designed to catch you out by hiding a minus in there and playing a trick on the mind with all the adds, you're brain takes the 'x' as an add.

It just reinforces to me how utterly incompatible the brain is with maths, there should be a law against teaching it.

 

[mooSe_]

yeah and then we could all be retarded

 

[Syri]

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!!!!!!

Most calculators don't process long calculations, so they re-calculate with each sign that's entered. That would give them a running total each time you press a + or -, which means the total is then multiplied by 0, assuming you enter the sum in the order it's given.
The HTC calculator probably takes the entire input, then does the calculation on the sum as a whole, rather than a running total, so it gives the correct result.

What is the world comming to... when people cant spell coming!!

 

[georgie]

It's gohan... you get used to it.

 

[Gwadien]

It's maths


Who gives a fuck?

 

[ECA]

Gohan works for a bank.

He also got a question about horse's and bounced cheques wrong in the spam thread.

I want to know what bank he works for, so I can make sure I bloody well don't use them!

no i didn't i was spot on on the random spam.


i explained it slightly wrong cos i misread the question but the end result is the same

 

[Ch3tan]

hm... I've re read it, and maybe you are right on that one. I got tricked by it. He only lost the £10 cost of the horse, and the £10 profit? so £20 in total. The £30 he refunded to the shopkeeper is irrelevant... that's what caught me out.

 

[Edmond]

I make it £20 too, but i'm stupid, so take no notice of me

 

[CorNokZ]

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


you're all lying

Get a TI-89 you noob!!

 

[Job]

99% of maths is hypothetical questions that people have designed for you to work out.
They should just say 'You can work things out with numbers, from now on , ignore it, it just happens'.

F*ck yes, that is the sh*t niggah.

 

[Ingafgrinn Macabre]

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

1: No it's not. multiplication before addition, so:
step 0: 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+1x0
step 1: 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+0 (1x0 = 0)
step 2: 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+5 (1+1+1+1+1+0)
step 3: 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+5 (+1-1 cancels each other out)
step 4: 9+5 (1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 = 9)
step 5: 14

2: Indeed, what's the world comming to?

now, sit in a corner in shame about your post please..

[edit]
and yeah, posting without reading the thread results in me posting this with dozens gone before me... my bad

Yeah, then we can all spend our lives as uneducated dolts. What a world that'll be.

 

[Thorwyn]

This is a wind up...

erm no you are completely wrong

 

[Afran]

I'm utter shit at maths and don't care but am I right in thinking that the answer to 10 + 10 x 0 is in fact 10 as it would be 10 + (10 x 0) ?

 

[Job]

erm no you are completely wrong

Maybe I should clarify, 90% of the maths anyone comes across in their lifetime.

I really want to know where you got 10 + 10 from... apart from that, you are really, really wrong. You've probably only read the first post, but 14 is the correct answer, Gohan messed up.

 

[Helme]

He's talking about the picture Thorwyn posted.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Hah, this thread is so full of fail, from original post to Ch3tans fail fail

Ahh, in that case he is spot on
