Which reminds me of the 3 most common lies in life-

1) I promise it won’t happen again
2) Not me
3) You’ll use algebra in the real world

Something about that equation has been bothering me. So I did some research.

0 is right and wrong
14 is right and wrong.

It’s a trick question.

If its computed in an algebraic sequence, then yes, the order of operations applies.

However, if it’s computed as its written. In an arithmetic function (left to right, like you would in a calculator), then the answer is zero.

But since this is the Bronco’s Blogsite, the answer is 7… anybody wanna argue with me on that?

Broncos Country Strong 2012!

Hey there Tide, hope you had a nice mother’s day! Good point on not knowing how our team will shape up, until we see everyone on the field together.. Injuries are also something that can make or break a teams season, and for the most part, are completely out of our control. I think we’ve more than sufficiently offered our sacrifices up to the injury Gods, and I really hope we can remain healthy this season!

kod – I’m pretty excited for this series, should be a hard-fought, tough, and physical match up.. There is plenty of bad blood between these two teams, and I expect it be a long series. I remember my uncle took me to a Rangers vs. Devils game when I was a young buck, and a fight broke out between fans in the isle, right above our seats. My uncle was eating a hot dog at the time, and remained seated, holding his hot dog in one hand, and raising his other arm up to hold up the two guys from falling on us… Pretty funny moment!

Yea Kod. I was going to post its a bit more relevant to the blog but IMO that wouldve given it away real easy.

LBF with that equation there are two ways of doing in.

One way is to do it as you read it in which case the answer is zero.

You do order of operations and get 13.

However there is only one correct answer going by whats mathematical correct which is to do order of operations to get 13. If it was on a Math test 0 would be wrong.

So you are correct that there are two answers about how you look at it and solve it. But only one is technically correct by mathematical principals.

Heres another brain teaser. This one may be a bit easier.

A man is running across a field at night clutching something in his arms as several other men pursue him. He looks back and sees they’re getting closer. In a final burst of effort his pursuers catch up and bring him crashing to the ground. His pursuers stand over him but do not touch him or take what he was carrying. Why not? Who was the running man?
