Yes my expertise is in other areas, but I've studied Maths to a level that my Maths teaching sister with a double Maths degree didn't understand. But this is not about the level of Maths education it is about simple arithmetic that follows the rules of BIDMAS.

Answer is 41.

You so used your calculator for that. Admit it you so did.

I could of really pulled your pants down and posted about imaginary numbers and complex numbers and stuff like that. But its good to see a beginner take his first steps in the noble pursuits.

The answer is 41 and only the plain stupid would believe otherwise. Chico you can forward me your list of further reading if you wish but I don't expect my mind to be changed.

I'm not a big fan of popcorn so I think I've had enough, bye.

The answer must surely be 81.

Not sure why this thread is 3 pages long.

I'm pulling out of this one as I'm decent at maths but no pro, but I know Chico quite well, I popped round his house last year to watch the game with a few beers and he gave me a tour of his house, he genuinely has his maths degree, he has a couple all on his wall.

Brave man to disagree with him.

I think he's either googled it or found out my qualifications from an old thread.

Some people are just so stubborn!

Didn't want to play the qualifications card but he was too stubborn so he had to have the truth in the end, sorry mate

Look, the answer to everything and the meaning of life is 42 anyway

I was politely trying to say you'd be laughed out of mathematical circles citing that mate.

Come on Degs.
