    I just viewed the results then voted the most popular. Doh!

    If it means anything I have been drinking with my mom all day..lol

    What makes it even worse is I was an honors math student in hs and tested out of math in college :D

    Wouldn't it have to be 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+ (1x0) to equal 14? :confused:

    Order of operations dictates that if there are no parentheses, multiplication and division are done BEFORE any addition or subtraction. As such, what you posted wouldn't change anything. The multiplication of the last 1 to the 0 would be the first thing done.

    Or do those six letters mean something else? Fucking math-heads. Worse than meth-heads...

    Did they change math rules in the last 30 years? I was taught differently.

    Though the M & D and the A & S are respectively simultaneous, practically speaking. ;) That was why I always looked at it vertically when I was young.

    From Wikipedia:
    When exponents were first introduced, in the 16th and 17th centuries, exponents took precedence over both addition and multiplication, and could be placed only as a superscript to the right of their base.

    If you were in before this, you are some old-ass "mofos." (ref: Belly35)

    I just copied off Justin, cause hims really really smart. (Actually I did the math, which I suck at normally)

    that sucks. i saw the x0 and didn't bother thinking. i'm not dumb. just lazy.

    Yea and the 1x0 at the end equaled 0.

    Not sure what your getting at here? Are you trying to say Im wrong or pointing out a simplified version of this problem?

    What is sad is that I'm sure a good amount of them are in college or are college educated.

    Ok, time to defend myself...

    There are two possible answers to this problem... The real answer is that there is not enough information to make and educated response. Is this a "simple math problem" which would be right to left adding and subtracting the ones until you multiple the zero and get ZERO?

    Or is this posted to be an algebraic equation which would result in the use of "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally?" In that case, the answer would be 14

    There are two answers and not enough info provided to find which is the right answer.
