Â But in what I see as the meaning of that meme, the almost constant whining that some people do, no, I don't. 5 Quote

Brazos John Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 Maybe those things are earbuds, or whatever they call them, not pipes. Different times...  Or, am I totally missing something?  1 Quote

Ozark Huckleberry Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, Alpo said: It's less math, more observation.  earbuds = 10 per pair person = 5 each watch = 4 per pair  So -- last line: 1 earbud = 5 1 watch = 2 1 person = 5 BUT WAIT! The person in the final line is wearing a pair of earbuds AND a watch! Therefore, person with pair of earbuds and a watch = 17  Therefore, final equation is 5 + 17 X 2 Order of ops with no parentheses, brackets, or exponents is multiply and divide left to right, then add and subtract left to right  So 5 + 34 39  Edited, because I noticed the person is also wearing a watch.
