lily lily: Whichever way you look at it... 51 was the wrong answer.
Both times. So then you agree that everyone who wrongly answered 52 shoud have their prizes taken back, if you think this woman shouldn't have been awarded her prize? |

Ah! So I am right (seeing as how there is no division in Timmies quiz) and Timmies is wrong! Does that mean Timmies has to recall the prizes "won" by all those who said 52........? |

When I went to school a million years ago, I was told the correct order for math of this sort was mutiplication first, division second, addition third, and subtraction fourth.
So, 6x8-5+9 would = 48 - 14 = 34. Or maybe Timmies uses "new math"..... |
