quote:They lied. Google and every other math system in the world will give you 288 with the equation as written. Some of the engineers in here, who are extremely smart, are trying to "assume" how the equation was supposed to be written. That is not logical. Solve the equation exactly as written, and it is 288 all day everyday. Here is the google proof
I did this and someones post on facebook said it was 48.
So I say 48.

People keep saying we are implying parenthesis to show there are two answers. I add no parenthesis and can easily say you added parenthesis. We are simply "ignoring" the left to right rule. Its not how we were taught to look the problem. Those saying left to right are assuming the person who wrote it did so with the intention of the solver to use that "rule"
But it's not a rule. It may be the way you always did it and it may be what teacher said. But it's just not really a real rule.
I mean look at the OP. Even Matt Damon solved it to be 2. And he's a genius janitor. So it must be a plausible solution.
