    If it is all the same, I think I'll maybe take a rain check on that, to be honest it sounds pretty pish to me.

    You do the bit in the brackets first ffs, so it's 288.

    That doesn't matter a **** in this instance though, nobody is disputing the fact that 9+3 is 12!!

    It's not ambiguous to me. 48/2(9+3), you add 9 and 3 first because they are in the brackets, hence 12, then you divide by 48 by 2, hence 24, then multiply 12 by 24 = 288. BODMAS!!!!

    You have 24 and 12 with no operator between them. Why did you assume they should be multiplied?

    When something is next to brackets with no symbol, you multiply.

    I thought in mathematical notation you needed a dot operator in there.

    In any case, I'm coming at it from a programming angle and any language I've coded in you need an *

    Well,if you bothered to read one of my many other interesting posts, the one stating that the 48 could be the numerator and the 2(9+3) could be the denominator, it would be ****ing ambiguous!<grr>

    I know **** all about programming, but the BODMAS/BOMDAS maths lessons stick in my head for some reason.

    I'm sorry but I cannot respond to the above post as I did not read it.

    Hahaha cheeky ****! In other words I win! On another note, you know that bot thing mrroy59 or whatever it was, I don't think even Edge could pull that off, any chance of deleting/banning it, it did my **** in today.

    I was never taught BODMAS, but I still remember the SOH-CAH-TOA mnemonic for the formulae for right-angled triangles. Shame I haven't had to use it since the 80s. <wah>
