But it's good shit definitely more clever than it looks
These puzzles always feel like they're more about spawning debates over math and demonstrating why it's important to keep notation consistent.
Nevertheless, I'll have a go.
230 - 220 x (1 / 2)
BEDMAS dictates that brackets go first, followed by multiplication.
230 - 220 x (0.5)
230 - 110
= 120
Someone please tell me if this is wrong, and if so, why you hate math and support these efforts to ruin it for everyone.
Looks like somebody forgot about the transmutative property and the superimposition principle
Some say you you never truly understand factorial without understanding the second and third ibstantionary axioms.
I do wonder how many other problems there are that are equivalent to both x and y! but have a commonly misunderstood answer y
