@03cobra#694 can you go ahead and close the poll?

Close or delete Nick? It won't let me close it for some reason.

Close... oh well, it can keep running until tomorrow. I'll screenshot for relevance.

60.4% say 1, 39.6% say 16, and one soul individual said 4. I am very interested in how you came to thinking 4 haha


People who said 1. That was my thought too. I read it as:

8
______
2(2+2)


Which ends up being 1.

The accurate answer, as written, is 16.

8 / 2(2+2)=
8 /2(4)=
4(4)=
16

Isn’t multiplication before division?

I did have to look up order of operations to make sure. lol. I voted 16.

I think it's multiplication and division from left to right.

So. In the acronym, yes...however MD and AS are equal, and you have to go left to right.

Yes, start with anything in parenthesis, then multiplication/division left to right, then addition/subtraction left to right.

DAMN PUBLIC SCHOOLS STRIKE AGAIN

 

[VegasMichael]

There are, depending on when and by whom you were taught math.

 

[03Sssnake]

Everything I was taught is a lie

I felt that way when I found out strippers poles actually spin, had thought strippers were the ones spinning around the pole. That felt worse then finding out santa wasn’t real when I was a kid…

this seems to screw up a lot people

I voted 16 but at first glance I got 1 as well before stopping to think about it.

You cant expect the non-white members to get the exact answer. Not all cultures view math the same way. In some cultures math is not about the right or wrong answer but its more of an emotional experience.

Yes i go it wrong. Lol. My gut told me to go with 16 but my laziness prevailed and led me to the wrong answer

Anytime you have to use the word "modern" to define your answer, you know you've posed a trick/bullshit question.

Besides, you did not specify which era of math to use to solve the problem.

The correct answer is 1.

So,

Wait...the pole spins?

Well I got that one right....lol.
