36-16
=
20

That was kinda fun. Thanks OP

This is what I did then I saw a bunch of other answers and got scared.

Does anyone remember the math thread that almost tore GAF apart?

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=426785

It was like the civil war in there.

Twist: the x is a cross product not multiplication.

yeah check the last page, lol

There's also a knowyourmeme page for this: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/48293

Surprised that NeoGAF isn't one of the forums listed on there because it spread here pretty quickly and before a lot of those other forums.

This isn't "basic math" so much as remembering and applying a standard of how we write equations. Hope this helps.

That is basic math

 

[MetalFearSolid]

I got 20 woot

The numbes are not bold or otherwise marked as vectors and you can't do a cross product on plain numbers only 3 dimensional vectors so no twist.

[CoffeeJanitor]

Curious gaf what answer do you get ?

4×4+4×4+4-4×4

16+16+4-16 = 20

 

[Particle Physicist]

lol what's this from?

[SpartanForce]

(4.4) + (4.4) + 4 - (4.4)
(16) + (16) + 4 - (16)
36 - 16 = 20

 

[Raistlin]

For the posters that wrote the answer out in long form ... was that simply for demonstration purposes ... or did you actually find it necessary to solve the problem?

Just curious. The problem was trivial enough I just did it in my head ... or am I a freak?

 

[Count Dookkake]

lol, everyone should be able to do it in their head, barring some developmental disability.

Well that's kind of what I was getting at, but didn't want to laugh and point.

This thread makes me sad

How do these topics always last so long. It baffles my mind. There is nothing to discuss!

Order of operations.

20 and this.

 

[Finn of Ooo]

16+16+4-16=20

 

[MedIC86]

just type in google search, voila 20

 

[Damon Bennet]

Here we go:

love this

 

[BadAss2961]

I'll just calculate as the numbers come, as if you were asking me.

4
16
20
80
84
80
320.

This is what I did too in my head, came up with the same answer. Don't know if it's right or not, don't really care.

 

[Zodzilla]

Got it.

 

[NekoToshiro]

'MERICA!

At least the last three are easy to read.


Edit: The numbers ran together and it looked like 4x4+4x4-4x4.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

20.

.

 

[reKon]

Got it.

Yessss

Just saw this movie for the first time a few weeks ago.

 

[PezDispenser]

4×4+4×4+4-4×4?

Easy, just factor out the 4.

4(1x1+1x1+1-1x1) = 4(2) = 8

troll math

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

20

16 + 16 - 16 + 4

 

[thesoapster]

If you don't know the answer, you got ripped off in grade school.

As a child of parents who insisted on sending their children to ridiculous private schools, I was ripped off, and I still got the answer.

MATH

 

[clearacell]

first two and last two cancel out, so there's only 16 + 4

 

[Partial Gamification]

Reads like a recursive riddle, very ambiguous.

cost = $1 + (1/2)*price

if cost = price, then :
cost - (1/2)*cost = $1
cost = $2

else price = $1 :
cost = $1.50

What game is this anyway?

 

[Grakl]

6÷2(1+2)=?

What? I think it should be $1.50
Does it keep going up by half? Or does it stop?

A million dollars or a penny double everyday for a year, which do you choose?

 

[Dark Stalkers]

$3.50

 

[Count Dookkake]

6÷2(1+2)=?

Penny doubler, please. A month will be fine.
