Hey, for a moment I thought they were being clever with the whole 1+1x1... mentally assuming they did this little number 1+(1x0), and was totally thinking the answer was 8.

Then I read it over, and realized I was expecting too much from the math forum Sad I totally thought it was an experiment to see if people would latch onto given answers though clearly incorrect...

Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Of course it is 42. The answer to life, the universe and everything!

No, the answer is nine according to PEMDAS based mathematics.
You perform the multiplication first which negates the last addition to zero.
You then simply add the nine ones together.

Made more simple..

1+1x0 = 1

Well yeah... according to PEMDAS. But then, he wasn't using PEMDAS, now was he?

Therefore: he's right. It's zero. Angel

1+1x0 = 1

1+1x0 = 1
1x1 = 1
1x1 = 1x1
(1x1)-(1x1) = (1x1)-(1x1)
(1-1)(1+1)/1-1 = 1(1-1)/1-1
(1+1) = 1
(1+1)-1 = 1-1
1 = 0

I think it is 0.

1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1x0 = ?

Is it;

A) 10
B) 0
C) 9
D) 1

Enjoy. Smile
Multiplication comes before addition, so it's:

1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+0 = 9

You're dividing by zero. Error!
