Math Problem, lets see who can do it in there head

[dimava]

2 * 3 * 4 * 44 * 8 * 9 * 56 / 59 / 7 - 6 + 89 * 18 * -1 + 0 * 0 * 34 /6 *86

[PJB]

0

[dimava]

congradulations, this means you passed 4th grade

[PJB]

was a lucky guess really, any math that has to be done in my head always = 0

[Sam Finch]

It's not 0, and you can't actually calculate it.

because of the + in the middle putting in the brackets correctly we get

((2 * 3 * 4 * 44 * 8 * 9) * (56 / 59 / 7)) - 6 + (89 * 18 * -1 + 0 * 0 * 34 /6 *86)

obviously the last bit is 0 which gives us

((2 * 3 * 4 * 44 * 8 * 9) * (56 / 59 / 7)) - 6

but the (56 / 59 / 7) part isn't clear, it could mean (56 / 59) / 7 = 0.135593220338983 or it could mean 56 / (59 / 7) = 6.64406779661017

[PJB]

much easier just answering 0, it's a nice round number, but regardless it think you work from the left to the right once you bracket it the way you have done
which i think would be (56/59)/7
added into the equation the final result would be something like 10303.42372881 etc
but 0 is a much nicer number...

[dimava]

ok, here's an easy one, whats


|2-6| + |50-100|?

[Bjwbell]

54

[PJB]

54 or 0 if you prefer...

[Bjwbell]

Here's another one
2x+4y=10
3y+6x=-15

[dimava]

correct, whats this:

A+B = A*B

answer can't be 2

[Edited by dimava on 09-16-2000 at 11:27 PM]

1) x = 1 y = 2
2) y = -5 x = 0

[Bjwbell]

It's only one problem
the y's and the x's value are the same in both equations.

[HarryW]

A+B = A*B

It's 3 and 1.5.

2 * 3 * 4 * 44 * 8 * 9 * 56 / 59 / 7 - 6 + 89 * 18 * -1 + 0 * 0 * 34 /6 *86

wouldn't this be:

(2 * 3 * 4 * 44 * 8 * 9 * 56 / 59 / 7) - 6 + (89 * 18 * -1) + (0 * 0 * 34 /6 *86)

= ? <edited after objections from dimava>

[dimava]

harry, the subject said: LETS SEE WHO CAN DO THIS IS THEIR HEAD or something like that so if you are saying that you got that 100 number decimal in your head thats just bull $h*t (excuse the language, I'm drunk as hell)

[PJB]

If A+B=A*B wouldn't 0 work to?

Hey!
thats not right! a drunk 12 year old...!

that my friend is bullshit!

Oops, made a mistake,
I am sorry,
you are not my friend.....
glad we cleared THAT up.... ;)

[dimava]

dennis stop acting like you never got drunk before, and yes 0 is one possible answer

[HarryW]

You said the answer was 0, I am merely pointing out that as far as I can tell the answer isn't 0.

[dimava]

ok I see said that blind man peeing in the wind, its all coming back to me

yeah, I have gotten drunk once.....
it was new years eve, I had a small bit of JD.....

thats it!

although I have had smaller amounts of alcohol(2 ~ 3 oz of sangria) and not gotten drunk.....

[dimava]

ok, my point proven, I am drunk

and I dont feel like sitting hear for another year and a half arguing over if I'm drunk or not.


PJB:

0 is one correct answer

[HarryW]

I don't particularly care whether you're drunk or not to be honest, but I am intrigued why you're drunk.

[dimava]

does intrigued means interessted?

if so its becuase ummmmmm I forgot why

I think he is drunk, because he looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't handle it.

[dimava]

Your funny............ NOT

I may not be funny, but neither are you, and I didn't vote for myself as guru........

[HarryW]

Why would you forget why you're drunk? If you were that drunk I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be able to type or even move your arms. Or maybe you just have a really bad memory.

Yes intrigued kind of means interested. Means that I want to know.
