The riddle was worded wrong - should not have "weighs" in it. It should say "What is a ton forward and not backward." The word "ton" weighs nothing.

He was alive long enough to get in the car and try to drive off, killer crawled out the trunk, he's in a convertible?

Well done sir. It was indeed a convertible.

Shall we do another?

You have two coins in your pocket totaling 15 cents. One of the coins is not a nickel. What are the two coins?

RickFLM4 · 04-24-2018, 04:03 PM

Dime and a nickel. The dime isn't a nickel.

Oops the second was a totally different question - i think the first is fairly easy - yes answer is 1

6 / 2(1+2) is a little more difficult - and would be better is i could type in a real "divided by" symbol.

King Rudi · 04-25-2018, 10:44 AM

Is it 9? These order of operation problems always get me confused.
3(3) = 9?

Nope, PEMDAS is the correct order of operations
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication and Division
Addition and Subtraction

So the 3/(1/3) should be done first and equals 9. Then you're left with 9-9+1 = 1

EDIT: just realized you were trying to answer the second question...you're right
6/2(1+2) = 3(3) = 9

You guys are too smart - most people:
6/2(1+2)
6/2(3)
6/6
1

Order of operations. The devil is in the details. I work in engineering. Not an engineer but I'm a Project Coordinator. It's always the small details that haunt you if you aren't aware of what's going on.

He's in the trunk.

TomD335xicoupe · 04-25-2018, 01:57 PM

If you were educated prior to 1917 you might of had a choice in the order of operation
I think that would look like this answer 7.1

9-[3/(1/3 & 1)] = 7.1

Not sure but I think that is the old method explained in modern order of operation

On the car thing with the dead guy is it a transport from funeral home?
