That's because most IM members (well all of them besides me) are homosexuals who would rather try to solve math problems than look at tits.
Yesterday while sitting in the Chiro's waiting room I read that 1 in 20 people claim to be homosexual however the results are more likely to be 1 in 12.
You may have a point Vortit. Of course these figures would mean nothing to at least half of IM members due to their struggle with mathematics.
how's about a more interesting, yet still easy one.

How about this:
48
____
2(9+3)
Solution - 2

And to think today's youth are tomorrow's leaders......we're in big trouble!
Please excuse my dear aunt sally

It's 2.
I reject your reality, and substitute my own.

its 288....and its easy if you use this acronym that i was taught at school.
BIDMAS
Brackets Indices Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction
it goes in order of what you do first so in the example:
48÷2(9+3)
its easier to write 48÷2 X (9+3)
brackets first so (9+3) = 12
next division so 48÷2 = 24
you are left with 24 X 12 = 288

no no no. God people. You can't do that. If it were upper level math, you'd start seeing your errors.
It's PEMDAS
Therefore.
(9+3) = 12
2(12)= 24
48
-- = 2
24

I have used PEMDAS all my life.
Never heard of bidmas.
I used it in highschool, on Standardized testing (TAKS)
On SAT's
In college algebra, trig, math for CS majors, physics...
Never had a problem.
PEMDAS is correct.
I don't care about your dumb links.

PEDMAS is the same ...Parenthesis Exponents Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction just different acronym
BUT if you actually follow it you'll see you are wrong
48÷2(9+3) becomes 48÷2x(9+3)
becomes 48÷2x(12) division and multiplication are equal priority so you read from left to right when signs are equal so...
it becomes 48÷2 first = 24
and finally x 12 = 288.
