Can you solve 8÷2(2+2)?

I have all kinds of different programming languages and compilers on my old laptop. I am a former database programmer. You can run that calculation as it sits through any of them and I will eat my hat if the answer is anything other than 16.

 

Well this just Explains a Lot Suddenly

That Chinaman is GolDarn Genius.

 

No... because everything INSIDE the parentheses has already been done.

2(4) is exactly the same as writing 2 x 4 or two times four.

 

Eating a hat is one thing... Care to put a years wages on the line???

 

You know what’s Funny about this when I go grocery shopping I am alway breaking down stuff As a cost per an ounce.

Been doing it for years long before they were posting it at the stores, just my mental mathematical disfunction.

So to get to the point. Most quantity items are not the better value.

I shop Aldis regularly these days and they don’t break it down to show cost

Rarely are their larger items a better value over the smaller containers.
Especially if you are a comparison shopper and know your prices from store to store.

Like I said it’s a DisOrder. Most likely that Cheap ### Dutch blood in me.

 

Here's the equation written multiple ways.



When you look at the second line, it becomes easier to understand.

 

I will

 

Well poop fire... now I gotta go dig out my old laptop with Linux on it.

 

Yep very little TV that I can take. The reality shows oriented to us guys is just way to over dramatic to make it enjoyable because they are questioning my Stupidity level for watching this KRAP.

Loved the show with Boyd Coddington when it first came out. Than they ruined it with the drama

Let the Tardswatch Jersey Wives , give me educational entertaining Tv.
I got hooked on RoadKill on YouTube a couple years ago. Great Guys and a lot of Laughs

Even sitcoms question my intelligence

Last comedy sitcom I watched was 2 and a half men. Seen every episode 10 times.

In walked Kutcher and never watched it again

 

Wow there is a Couple of you guys in here that are Way over Qualified to drive a truck for a living.
