40 + 40 x 0 + 1 = ???

[peteblue]

but 40 nothings are nothing

Corrected to fit the logic of the calculation that was set......, you can thank me later....

 

[peteblue]

It's 81 you belters.

Been done to death that one mate, it's now between 1 (hahahahaha) and the real answer 41, pick a side any side.......

 

[bigbadjeff]

There should clearly be brackets in the calculation, as it is, it is ambiguous.

so is 1...ta jeff

No .

Yous are all dead correct .

Cause say if youve got 80 apples in a barrell , an you times them BY NOTHING ..

They disappear ...

Of course they do .. Then times them by None again ..

They Disappear AGAIN !!!

Or something ...

Bodmas MY ARSE !!!

haha

Because apples always are a good substitute for mathematics.

Give me an example of Vieta's formulas then, but with apples.

Or yeah, the Fibbonacci sequence was totally found using apples, not theoretical mathematics and biology. Lolz.

This should be done with BODMAS, and when it is, it gives the correct answer - 41.

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

In mathematics and computer programming, the order of operations (sometimes called operator precedence) is a rule used to clarify unambiguously which procedures should be performed first in a given mathematical expression.For example, in mathematics and most computer languages multiplication is done before addition; in the expression 2 + 3 × 4, the answer is 14. Brackets, which have their own rules, may be used to avoid confusion, thus the preceding expression may also be rendered 2 + (3 × 4), but the brackets are not required as multiplication still has precedence without them.
From the introduction of modern algebraic notation, where juxtaposition indicates multiplication of variables, multiplication took precedence over addition, whichever side of a number it appeared on.[SUP][1][/SUP] Thus 3 + 4 × 5 = 4 × 5 + 3 = 23. When exponents were first introduced, in the 16th and 17th centuries, exponents took precedence over both addition and multiplication, and could be placed only as a superscript to the right of their base. Thus 3 + 5[SUP]2[/SUP] = 28 and 3 × 5[SUP]2[/SUP] = 75. To change the order of operations, originally a vinculum(an overline or underline) was used. Today, parentheses or brackets are used to explicitly denote precedence by grouping parts of anexpression that should be evaluated first. Thus, to force addition to precede multiplication, we write (2 + 3) × 4 = 20, and to force addition to precede exponentiation, we write (3 + 5)[SUP]2[/SUP] = 64.

there we have it.

minus 41 ????

no way is it -41 mate

 

[DualityNSNO]

Should've seen that coming.

It's still 41 though.

Is the correct answer and confirms what has been said by the pro41ers.......

 

[Caveo]

TEAM 41 FTW !!!!

40 lots of 1 apple

plus

40 lots of no apples

plus

1 lot of 1 apple
