Maths quiz: 5 + 5 + 5 - 5 + 5 + 5 - 5 + 5 x 0 = ?

0

BINGO!

42

5.......................dont tell anyone else

What do I need to type into my calculator so it says BOOBIES if I turn it upside down iyo?

totally meaningless without brackets imo

meaningless?

It's a sum. Sums don't require brackets to be valid.

15

BODMAS rules

Acronym, Definition. BODMAS, Brackets Order Division Multiply Add Subtract (mnemonic for order in which mathematical calculations are done

Is this in base 10?

Please refer to my previous answer on the football forum

its 15 and i will bet anyone a million zillion pounds sterling.

1. If you do it on a standard calculator it is zero. (Scientific mode doesn't count)

2. A calculator is a machine.

3. A machine can do counting stuff faster and more accurately than all people.

4. Therefore it is zero.

Zero

Can't really give any reasoning other than it's a sum and the answer is 0.

Is that the right answer?

ok maybe the answer is 15

You cheated

How about this one:

Int[x/Sin(x)] from 0 to sqrt(13).

Any ideas?

42

again

any number X 0 = 0

BODMASS

=> 15

BODMAS ffs

15
no brackets

agreed on the BODMAS (the brackets would be merely indicative)

5 + 5 + 5 - 5 + 5 + 5 - 5 + 5 x 0 = ?

0 x 5... 0
5 + 5 + 5 - 5 + 5 + 5 - 5 ... 15

The chit chat forum has performed better than the football forum imo

I was taught PEMDAS instead of BODMAS, answer still 15 though.

15 is it.

I have to say, this has totally freaked me out, I use my windows calculator (in scientific view) to calculate loadings and pressures for my engineering design work!
In scientific view it comes out 15, in normal view it comes out 0.
I am now concerned about how many projects over the years have been over or under engineered due to this bollo x.  Seriously, wish i hadnt read this thread

I remember this issue arising in the mid-70s when pocket calculators first entered general use. Obviously they weren't allowed in classrooms, and one maths teacher used to use this kind of example, whereby the answer is given as 0 instead of the correct 15, as a reason why they never would be.
