Some people are not good at math.
Get used to this.
You finding some people on the internet who are bad at math does not make you any better at it.

Focus on your own intelligence, and do not scorn those who struggle with things that you do not.

That just isn't gonna fly here in these woods.
I must prove my dominance!

>>4770699
Grow up.

tfw there is a class of people who apparently think it is 5 because (1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1)-(1+1+1+1+1+1x0)

shiggy diggy

>>4770693

They're joking. Surely.

no need to be surprised about this, current society encourages stupidity and forsakes logic

may this be another argument to remove the disgrace called facebook from humanity's history for once and for all?

>>4770717

for the same reason I believe there must also exist a group that believes the answer is 10

Why on earth would you order it in that way in the first place except to be deliberately misleading?

ANYHTHING TIMES 0 IS 0 DAMN YOU PEOPLE STUPID

>>4770717

I believe over 99% of west coast rappers is convinced that neither answer is correct.

Does this thing come with a built in "Nuke humanity" feature?

>rappers is

Nice grammar, you fucking retard.

>>4770951

we do what we must because we can
for the good of all of us
except the ones who are dead.

You're an idiot and I don't believe you have any friends.

>>4770967
>Misleading
No.

>Order of operations is just a construct to avoid the need to use incredible amounts of parentheses. Problems like these are very ambiguous.

i know it's one of you guys

>>4770960

anything else would be cruel

FB-tards have always been ignorant fucks, why would today be any different?

Welp, better warm up the ol' report button.

obvious troll is obvious?

>troll or has never looked at an equation before

Yes, it's written deliberately misleadingly.

>>4770975

> hurr durr, stupid people exist.

but why must they be in the same solar system as me?

>>4770954

please return to /b/, you'll find more of your own kind there

ITT: We circle jerk about our intellectually superiority.

Everyone is stupid but me.

>>4770986
yeh...its a damn shame, huh?

>>4770988

hipster "logic" belongs in /an/

>>4770988

isn't that the facebook paradox?

the only way to prove we're superior is to perform some research about the stupidity of facebook users
however, this requires us to sign up for a facebook account in order to take samples
which inevitably lowers the average stupidity level of facebook

>>4770988
>>4771005

Didn't OP provide us with enough evidence already?

>>4770967

EK posting as Anon?

>>4771005
That paradox would be true, if you actually wanted to measure their stupidity level. But we just want to prove our superiority. Even if the average rises by joining, it will always have a limit (in this case, we are that limit).

I think I might have some superiority problems.

>>4771038

It is not arrogance to conclude our superiority based on mathematical facts, in this case the higher number of wrong answers than correct answers on a simple algebraic question.

Therefor, you do not have a superiority problem.

>>4770944

Speaking of which, what is the current state of our anti facebook efforts?

TL;DR RED MEANS BAD SO I PRES LIKE

>>4771046

for reasons unclear to me, the current dramatic drop in average human intelligence channeled by facebook is not considered a priority

the fact that a hoax economic crisis instead does keep people worrying, makes me want to cry.

>>4771053

> makes me want to cry.

unfortunately no /emo/ board exists for this purpose yet

>>4770971
>>4770980
No. It is not misleading OR ambiguous if you moved past the 7th grade.

>>4770717

Twenty-plus years ago they taught that in many schools (addition preceding subtraction, instead of them being equivalent).

>>4771216

Curious how no evidence of such widespread misbeliefs can be found in any of the 20th century's master minds.

Maybe it was just limited to a select group of math incapable retards after all?

>>4771184
Putting the multiplication at the end is intentionally misleading. You would never write it that way unless you were trying to throw somebody off. I know this because I actually do maths on a regular basis, unlike you.

Has no-one here really pointed out the obvious?
People don't share as much as they like stuff on Facebook, because they don't want to annoy people with this shit. Additionally, order of operations is entirely artificial, so I doubt you could call someone stupid for not using it correctly. "Ignorant" maybe, but not "stupid".

I originally thought it was 0, because I was getting the order of operations wrong, I was thinking the P in PEMDAS was plus for some reason
and then I didn't even notice the subtraction in there

>No Parenthesis
>No Exponents
>Multiplication negates the last 1 in the problem (anything times 0 = 0)
>No Division
>Add all but one of the 1s (the -1)
>Subtract that 1 from the 14 we just added up
>Answer is 13

Please tell me this is right? I don't want to look like an enormous tard on here

>>4771262
Why do people stick to this PEMDAS shit so much? Just remember that multiplication comes before addition, unless brackets state otherwise. If everything isn't clear from these two rules, then the question is ambiguous.

And yes, it's 13.

>>4771272
Because I hate math and it's the only thing I remember from all the math courses I took

>>4771278
I fucking hate whomever invented PEMDAS. Not the order of operations, just the abbreviation, PEMDAS. It's pointless and retarded. How difficult it is to teach kids that multiplication always comes before addition unless brackets state otherwise?
Most people stick to PEMDAS too much and mindlessly throw it around in every argument, then strut around claiming victory thinking "I can do math, assholes"
