I'm at the Men's Shed. Yes, that is one solution. Another is, take the top right match from the 9 and put it across the middle of the 0 to give you 3 + 5 = 8

As for the Catchphrase, if you watch the video, you will see this: The catchphrase is "Old hand", as in "He's an old hand at shearing sheep." Here's another kind of problem. Move one match to make a correct equation.

If you don't hit = it assumes that you are squaring the last number entered, number 12, result 144. To get the required result, you have to enter - 2 , X , -2, then you get - 4.

He's now claiming that a ceasefire in Gaza, announced by Joe Biden, has only been reached because he won the election in November.

I honestly cannot remember being taught PEDMAS at school, and I passed Leaving Certificate Maths 1 in 1960. I really never heard of it till I started doing these maths questions on Facebook. Never had to rely on it in 29 years in the bank.

If you use the calculator on your iPhone (I can't speak for an Android), turn the phone to landscape mode and you get more functions. Enter 10 - 12 and you get -2. Press the X² button and you get 4, not -4. No parentheses assumed.

That's what I got. Unfortunately these examples don't come with a correct answer, just dozens of comments on what people think they are, and there arre many different answers. I guess you have to accept the most common answer, One of the things some people have difficulty with is -2². Some say 4, others say -4.

For those not interested in the maths question any idea on the hands catchphrase?

OK, try these.

I've had a less than satisfyng experience with Victoria's Container Deposit Scheme, or at least the arrangements for returning empty bottles to claim the deposit refund. There are recycling machines located in shopping centre carparks, but you need to have an app on your phone, open an account and the refunds would be credited to your bank account. That's a lot of trouble for a couple of dollars, two or three times a year. We don't use that many bottles or cans you can recycle under this scheme. We used to use more but when my son got a Sodastream machine, they started producing their own soft drinks. Before the machines werre installed a recycling depot was set up in a building in Nunawading where you could take your bottles and get the refund in cash. I had been there a couple of times before the Sodastream. Fast forward to just after Christmas. We had about 25 bottles looking untidy around the place, so I took the up to the centre during the week after Christmas. There was a sign saying "Sorry, no cash today, app only", so I took them home again, and left the two shopping bags with bottles in the boot. I went up again after new year, and the queue was around the wall and out the door. Back home again. Then I went up again yesterday and there were only 4 or 5 customers waiting. I went inside and the same "No cash" sign was stuck on the wall. I stuck my head through the serving window, and asked "When will you have cash?" The girl said, "Only on Wednesdays." I went back again today, and the queue was all around the wall again. I decided to wait -- about half an hour! A guy at the servery window was loding bags throuh the window (see photo). He had already put 2 or 3 through, and still had nine on the floor to put through. In addition, another customer in the queue had 5 large black garbage bags full, another man had a trolley with six large cartons of bottles and cans and a woman had two trolleys with bags and boxes. They must have been collecting from places like the MCG, or running a bar or restaurant. They all appeared to be using the app and getting their refund in their account. I finally put through my 25 bottles, collected my $2.50 and left. The queue behind me was even longer. I reckon I probably spent the $2.50 on petrol going back and forth. Why they let those with commercial quantities go there on the only day they pay cash refunds beats me. This bag is stuffed with the dozen or so empty bags he had put through the window.

Then why are there so many wrong answers (processed left to right) in the replies to these questions?
