Tweet of the Day

The English translation is "Mdrrr 16 had the most votes, while there is not even a correct answer in the choices 💀" Well, it would be 10 or 16, depending on which calculation you did first. I would do the multiplication first, which would give you ten. But the lack of ten as an answer threw respondents off. (Thanks, WTM!)

    BODMAS = brackets, orders, division, multiplication, addition subtraction
    GEMDAS = grouping, exponents, MDAS
    BIDMAS = brackets, indices, DMAS

    2+2^3 = 10

  7. Wow, that's what I get for skipping trig in high school and taking statistics instead. Statistics turned out to be more useful in college and in real life, though.

  8. Well, these orders of operation apply to all math, even prob & stats. I agree that for most folks, prob & stats is likely more useful than trig and calculus. Most everyone might benefit from a passing knowledge of algebra and geometry. Just my opinion…
