These puzzles always feel like they’re more about spawning debates over math and demonstrating why it’s important to keep notation consistent.
Nevertheless, I’ll have a go.
230 - 220 x (1 / 2)
BEDMAS dictates that brackets go first, followed by multiplication.
230 - 220 x (0.5)
230 - 110
= 120
Someone please tell me if this is wrong, and if so, why you hate math and support these efforts to ruin it for everyone.
the joke is that 120 = 5!
Oh GOD DAMMIT
Thank you.
5! is 5 factorial == 54321
