I was taught that any time a 1 is followed by multiple +1s that you get to pick your own answer. The answer to the question is actually threeve.

1+1-1+0x0 DEFINITELY equals 1, since x is multiplied by 0 ... twice.

True. x0 = 0. +1 * 0 = 0.

I actually am remembering this a bit now. I remember drawing ( ) around each x or / before doing the problem.

41% got it right here, 16% got it right over there. Obviously the cream of the crop made it over to the OC.

All right you math geeks win. Celebrate.

But understand while you all were at home playing with your slide rules the rest of us were out banging cheerleaders.

Uhmmmm, the numbers on a calculator only range from 0-9. There is no such thing as a ten key.
