Here we go again. You complain if anyone questions your posts, but you keep doing it. Show where I said they were right. I raised it as a situation which many may not be aware of. If you rely on the calculator app on your phone, you may get results that disagree with what we would expect. I think that's worth raising. Who else agrees with me? Education without accusation.

Who said it was? We do trade with America and purchase goods from America. With such differences in processing a basic such as mathematics how can we agree and standardise on anything?

Not according to the Yanks.

That's correct, but it depend where the X 0 occurs. It applies to the value before the X, not the whole sum. Here's another example. Left to right, it's 9 - 2 = 7 X 4 = 28. Using PEMDAS, 2 X 4 = 8, 9 - 8 = 1

This is the conundrum. Processing left to right, 7-7 = 0, 0x0 = 0, 0 + 7 = 7. However, Americans, and I guess some others are taught that the order of processing is PEMDAS. The order is PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division (from left to right), Addition, and Subtraction (from left to right). So, doing multiplication first, 7 x 0 is 7. This makes the question 7 - 0 + 7, resulting in 14. So a simple sum here results in 7, but in America it is 14. How does that work? incidentally, putting this sum into the calculator on your iPhone gives the answer 14.

Looks like Trump may have uncorked the bottle, and might have trouble getting it back in. A Russian General has stated that Russia should take Greenland for it's security protection.

Correct Nev.

The phrase is - The (k)night is young. A different tack. There is much confusion over something that should be unquestioned, mathematics. Answer this problem: -9 ÷ 3 - 3 - 3 x 0

I'm building a model of Mt Everest. Is it to scale? No, just to look at.

Yes Nev it was a typo. I have corrected it. Should be External.

Two ladies of the night were driving around with a sign on their car saying "Ladies of the night $50". A cop pulls them over and said, "you can't have a sign like that on your car." Just then, a car goes past with a sign saying, "Repent your sins. Jesus will forgive." The ladies said, "What about that sign?" The cop says' "That's OK. It's a religious sign." Next night, the cop spots the ladies car again. He follows them, and sees their sign, "Two fallen angels looking for Peter."

Toilet humor is correct. E4NIY.mp4

Here's another Catchphrase.

You'll have to play the game with the original poster. Uses the name Mark Hammill, but I checked the 5 Mark Hammill FB pages, and none showed the quiz.

Here's another that popped up this evening. Supposedly 19 Tesla Model X to be won. What number other than 03 is shown?

Jerry is correct.

Very good Marty.
