Ta muchly... Mainly joined so I could see your HOTW forum... some classics in there!

Can be either way and the result is still the same...

Hi all, this is going to sound REALLY pedantic/sad, especially for a first post, but I couldnt understand why I wasnt able to register and the maths field kept bombing out! The correct answer to 5 + 5 x 2 is 15, not 20. BOMDAS / BODMAS - Brackets, Of, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. So you do 5x2 first (10) then add the 5 = 15 Might be better to simply have a maths question which cant be interpretted the wrong way... or simply add brackets (5 + 5) x 2
