    Have you also encountered Asshole?

    pretty sure she's correct due to order of operations BEDMAS

    brackets
    equations [?] forgot if this is correct, too lazy to google
    division
    multiplication (she did this first) 1 x 0 = 0
    addition 1 + 1 +1 +1 +1 +1 + 1 + 1 +1 + 1 = 10, + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5, + 0
    subtraction -1

    It's a question that is purposefully written ambiguously. And we've already had a long discussion about it in previous pages of I believe this RIT thread, possibly the last one. The fact that it isn't written with any parenthesis or brackets confuses people.

    PEMDAS

    Parenthesis
    Exponents

    although parenthesis and brackets are the same thing

    So glad I'm more of an English guy than a math guy. Numbers freak me the hell out once start replacing them with letters.

    You'd think letters would make it easier for an English guy...

    Except for that tricky part where 2(0) = (0) and not 1.

  16. #1816

    x=0.999999
    10x=9.999999
    10x-x=9.999999-.999999
    9x=9
    x=1
    1=0.999999

    No need for variables that equal 0

    The last part, 2(a-x)=a-x is true. (Which confused me for a second) If you substitute any number in, it just adds up to 0=0. Not 2=1.

    i'd ask why you guys are explaining it, but lol.

    Except that they proceed to divide both 2 and 1 by (a-x) which is 0. Divide by 0, shit gets fucked, etc.

    Except 9.99999-.999999 = 8.99991 not 9
