    Post your answer, and vote in the poll.

    No, this is NOT a trick question.
    Yes, there is only ONE answer.

    I can edit the poll, but can't switch it from private to public. Sorry.

    Edit: Nevermind. Looks like someone did it. I'm maybe potentially an idiot.

    I made it public.

    Thanks, justin.

    If you want to add more options, you can add 4, 16, and 128 in numerical order. But I can't add.

    But so far, it looks like the OC has learned its lesson from the last time we had a problem like this. I just saw this problem on Facebook, and people are answering 320 and trying to DEFEND it. LoL

    Dang, on my iPhone the first "x" looked like a "+" in which case the answer would have been 12 not 20. Oh well.

    The last time I think there was a much larger gray area in terms of application of the rules of math. This one is simple.

    As I recall, the last one followed the same PEMDAS rules.

    Yup. I wish I had a link to that thread. Classic! I nominated it for the Hall of Fame but I don't think it was entered.

    thePITman, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
    1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
    2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

    My bad. It's in the Backup forum for Serious Business. Justin will have to move it.

    Holy shit. 133 votes and only 54 got it right. 53 put 0 and 17 put 16 (granted, they had the right idea and probably missed the (-) sign and just added all of them. And 8 people put "winning" so their votes dont actually count.

    Here is the question:
    [h=2]Answer the following: 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+1x0 = ?[/h]

    Oh. I guess I was thinking of something else then.

    I thought the problem was 48/2(9+3).

    Ah. Still that one follows PEMDAS, but I don't recall that one.

    The one I linked, however, was the one where someone was trying vigorously to say that there was more than one answer, justifying the non-use of PEMDAS.

    It was quite funny as I recall.
