Yes, I can but I don't want to ;)

16?

semiotech.bsky.social•34 days ago

We don't have the technology to solve this yet. There's just a physical limit to how small and fast we can make math particles these days.

I can if you remove the ambiguous notation.

1 day I'll come to a singular answer that will be my primary understanding of this solitary equation.

pswish.bsky.social•34 days ago

Order of operations…

paulsmith5446.bsky.social•34 days ago

zero

1.

In many programming languages ÷ means modullus but in that case, the assignment symbol = is in wrong position

naimasdad.bsky.social•31 days ago

In programming languages I’ve worked with, the % is the mod operator.

BODMAS/BOMDAS comes into play.( Don't know the American acronym 🤷‍♂️) but simply

-6+2=-4
8-4=4
5(4)=20
20÷20=1

or

8-6=2
2+2=4
5(4)=20
20÷20=1

Correction.. 16….. I had a brain fart

paxdriver.bsky.social•34 days ago

Haha me too! Cool of you to post it. Humility is classy

I also got 16 but I and a lot of us could be wrong for some unknown reason.

nicklodge2.bsky.social•34 days ago

I get 4, but I must be wrong! Is it really 16? How?

20/5(8-6+2)
P,AS (8-6+2) = +8 + -6 + +2 = 4
MD 20 ÷ 5 * 4 = 20 / (5*4) = 1
ISO 80000-2 says don't use ÷ unless you mean it.

apertedesign.bsky.social•34 days ago

I appreciated this response!

christianwolff23.bsky.social•34 days ago

"MD" means multiplication OR division, from left to right. Not multiplications first, then divisions. 20 / 5 is 4, times 4 is 16.

ttvkarlbannsonr.bsky.social•34 days ago

AS and MD are done left to right whichever comes first. The answer is 16.

Et tu, Brutus? Boring PEMDAS nonsense? Really?

a5mack.bsky.social•34 days ago

krondican.bsky.social•34 days ago

I get 16

stevetrunk.bsky.social•34 days ago

Not this BS again. Just rewrite it with 20 as the numerator and the parenthetical term as the denominator. Ambiguity gone.
