O.K., I failed to expand the photo to see the letters along the bottom. Ahh, well, at least I tried. I'm stumped on this one.

[red750]

It's not easy, or a very common phrase, but I'll leave it for another day to see if anyone can come up with it. I've got a few more Wheel of Fortune puzzles saved, but at the moment, watch this unbelievable video.

The phrase above was "A BRIEF OVERVIEW". Not easy, but you've got to pick the right letters to help guess the answer.

211.  nev

Correct. Sorry, I'd forgotten I'd posted that one before.

 

 

This is one of those maths questions with different answers, depending on how you calculate it. It's the order of processing. Let's see how we go.

 

 

[facthunter]

You could eliminate the ambiguity by using brackets. nev

[red750]

That's not the point. This is the way the question is asked. If you were in an exam room and that question was on the test paper?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[facthunter]

Then you would be trained  and prepared  to deal with it.. Doing past papers is a common study and preparation method. Nev

[Jerry_Atrick]

128

[red750]

Correct Jerry, but a lot of people process left to right and get 58. Here's an interesting thing. Enter that question in that order into the Microsoft calculator and you get 58, but do the same on an iPhone calculator and you get 128.

 

 

OK. Can you solve this one?
