The correct way to solve this problem is to use the modern interpretation of the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS or BODMAS:

  • Parentheses/Brackets
  • Exponents/Orders
  • Multiplication-Division
  • Addition-Subtraction
  • If same precedence, left to right
The correct answer is 9, but controversy ensued because the historical order of operations from before 1917 differs slightly. With that version of the rules, which is still taught in many schools, the answer would be 1.

Here's a full explanation of the answer.

Soooooooo.…

My wife's oldest brother went to Guangzhou to find work like 30 years ago. And then disappeared. Haven't heard hide nor hair of him in 30 years. Well this morning someone from the Guangzhou police contacted them and said they found him living under a bridge there. The story we're being told is that he was basically kidnapped and forced to work in a factory for 20 some years. Subjected to beatings and torture and basically doesn't remember anything from before that except the name of his city. And at some point he escaped and basically lived on the streets the last couple years. The crazy part is his ex-wife went there to work 5 years ago and she's the one the police contacted knowing she was from his area. And it turned out to be her long lost husband. And she worked like a 20 minute walk from where he was squatting. Pretty crazy shit.

probably weren't any baby bison to rescue
Colorado woman idiot places wild bobcat in backseat 'just feet away' from son, 3.


"Officer Sarah Watson responded to the call and found that the large cat was “unrestrained” under a blanket in the backseat of the woman’s SUV, with her child’s car seat just “feet away.” The animal was described as alert and was hissing and growling when Watson approached. It was estimated to be around 25 pounds".

I blame society for giving a predator like that an innocuous name like Bob. Bet she wouldn’t have rescued a jasoncat.

or an igorkitty.

So, does your brother-in-law remember his ex wife? Did he see her and decide he "couldn't remember "? Maybe the ex was a real bitch?
Did your wife know her brother? Are you going to visit this year? Is brother-in-law on the agenda?

Oh, and how's your dad and the "new" family?
My "new" family is really cool. My sister that lives here in town is awesome! I'm lucky to have her as a sister.

He does not remember the ex-wife no. My wife says she was a bitch lol. My wife was in middle school when he left, so she does remember him some. My wife was talking about going this winter. Not sure I can afford all 3 of us to go, now that I gave up my baller grower lifestyle. I wouldn't care much to visit Guangzhou anyways. I prefer the mountains. I know 0 Cantonese to boot. My dad is good. Coincidentally it is his 70th birthday today. Haven't heard any new familial updates from my sister actually. I shall text her tomorrow and inquire. I'm glad to hear that your new sister is awesome. I'm happy for you sharkie.

Thanks bud, much appreciated.

Well, I hope your wife gets to reunite with her brother, especially if she liked him. Lol.

One of my newly discovered sisters, her birthday was last week. She turned 74 :shock:, she's the oldest... I'm the youngest at 45... that we are aware of. I'm 11, I just don't have special powers?

Happy birthday to your Pops.

Here's a picture of me and my sissy, the day I met her

Do you live in an episode of the Twilight Zone?
