You gave a math based post as an example.....math makes me scared and makes me weep so it probably wasn't the best advert to me

What were the 1000 posts arguing about? Being thick again but doesn't BODMAS apply ?

1 divided by 0 = 1 by infinite according to Wilson

Reminds me of the time there was a big argument on a physics forum I go on, the argument was over Brian coxs conclusion on his tv show that no electron can hold the same energy state and that every one in the universe had to alter to suit one changing.

Anyhow it went on for quite a few weeks and only ended after prof cox logged on and put one or two forum users right on their prognosis....

Well made me chuckle

you need to eliminate the brackets, do the 9 plus 3 is 12.. then multiply the 12 by 2 to make 24.

48 divided by 24 is 2

Well, with modern "maths" teaching, rather than arithmetic, who knows what the answer would be?

2 : attracted 1471 Facebook likes.

288 : attracted 124 Facebook likes and 3 twatters.

42 attracted 676 Facebook likes and 2 Jedi warriors

Fuck knows : attracted 1,365,965 Facebook likes, 67 teachers and 2 Headmasters.

The answer is :

If you eliminate the brackets, wouldn't you get :

4.6551724?

But if you do it on a calculator you get 288.

Both answers can be deemed as correct depending on the logic used. Maths isn't always definitive it appears

Why would anyone who has attended university have a problem with that simple arithmetic sum? After all you have to have "O" level (sorry GCSE at grade C or above) to get onto any course.

I thought you did anything in brackets first, and multiplied that by whatever was outside the brackets, thus it would be

48 divided by 2 x 12..

which by my reckoning is 288?

because the 2 is immediately to the left of the bracket it becomes part of that 'mini sum'.. so you times the 12 by the 2 before yoy carry on with the 48 divided by..

so the thing would then become 48 divided by 24

On house price crash forum in the offtopic forum there is a hillarious and very revealing thread titled "old scrapper birds from dating sites" or something similar.

This thread been going a very long time with members telling their experiences and observations of POF etc. Very very funny
