Mathematic Disagreement
September 16th, 2011
You’re now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
Question to discuss:
4 – 3 * 3 + 5 = ?
You: 0!
Stranger: 8
Stranger: ʘ___ ʘ
You: Wrong.
You: You have to do 3×3 first
You: so 4-9+5=0
Stranger: that…doesnt make sense
You: basic math!
You: order of operations!
Stranger: why do the 3*3 first
You: PEMDAS
Stranger: screw you…you use brackets to define order
You: Parenthesis, exponent, multiplication, division, add, subract
Stranger: 4-(3*3)+5
Stranger: that, would make sense
You: that’s the same as the above question
Stranger: nope
You: you don’t need the parenthesis
Stranger: you do
