In the UK we don't say it's "pissing rain". We say "well at least it's not snowing".
I'm from Vancouver BC which I understand has similar weather to the UK. Personally it wasn't really the rain that bothered me, and there is about 10 months of it there, it's the constant grey skies that really got me down.
Why not the Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish, Channel Islanders and Manx. Why just the English?
Of course you Americans have never been famous for your geography....
Sorry - Just throwing some coals on the fire -
I'm not American, I'm Canadian.
Of course we say English over here because we all know that tradionally the English have ruled over all the others. Isn't Ireland where the even more drunken English live and Scottland where the gay English that like wearing skirts live? The others you mentioned are just English ghettos, right?

Vancouver struck me as a beautiful city, I'd swap it for anywhere in the UK any day, rain or no rain. Although I did only spend a day there.
I climb with a couple of British guys. Really nice fellows and outstanding climbers but we rarely agree on anything. I call the protection we place in the rock "gear" and they call it "kit". We can never agree on musical taste. Our tastes in food couldn't be any more different.
There's only two things we really ever agree on. The first is Red Dwarf is a comedy masterpiece and the second is that the French fucking suck.

I just had a math class that I had to complete. Lots of problems just like this.
I got an A in the class. I was really surprised by how much I had retained, even though I had pretty much never used any of it since learning in Middle and High School.
Different calculators follow different orders of operations. Most non-scientific calculators without a stack work left to right without any priority given to different operators, for example giving
1 + 2 X 3 = 9
while more sophisticated calculators will use a more standard priority, for example giving
Open the calculator on your computer, and type in the question, hitting enter to see each step. Now switch to scientific and enter it, watching each step.
standard:
40 + 40 = 80
* 0 = 0
+ 1 = 1
scientific
40 + 40 = 80
* 0 = 0
+ (now the number on screen jumps to 40, as ONLY in scientific maths does the order come into it) 1 = 41
Please keep going, this is fucking brilliant reading!
I'm amazed at the answers in here, some people are about a generation away from apes...

Jel you're doing it wrong mate. a Scientific Calculator should do the maths in BODMAS. You apparently wasn't taught that in school. I was and I'm from the UK aswell.
So is my computer calculator so at least I have company :p
Honestly, I was never taught to always use order of blahblah at school, just the opposite, ie no brackets meant left to right. Not best pleased that I was taught wrong either lol

If you don't have an order the answer is 1.
If you use BODMAS it is 41.
See, the answer is always 41 though isn't it, and never 1. Like you say, a scientific calc gives 41, whereas a normal calc (like the one in start > programs > accessories) gives 1, even though that is obviously (I now know) wrong.
Waiting until my maths teacher mate gets home so I can give him shit about the state of our education :D

You weren't taught wrong, maybe you just weren't taugh BODMAS aswell. That is why these questions exist, it's not because they can easily be done wrong. It's because they can be done 2 different ways.
If I wanted to know what 2 lots of 7+5 were. I could write it down like 7 + 5 X 2 = ?
And everyone here saying 41 is the right answer to this equation would get my equation wrong.
I wanted to know what 7 + 5 x 2 = ?. And the answer to my question is 24.
putting this in a normal calculator from left to right gives you 1 - but it's simply wrong. Math has rules and they also didnt change recently.
Exackery, which is why I'm fucking pissed off that I wasn't taught about the order of blahblah. Hate that shit, it's like those cunt teachers who tell you camels carry water in their humps, and it isn't until later someone tells you that isn't true that you realise.

If you use BODMAS it would be 17.
Ok wait now I'm fucking confused - either the bodmas rule ALWAYS applys, or it doesn't. Seems it always does, and the answer should always be 17, even though 10 hours ago I'd have said 24.
I was taught bodmas in the sense that anything in brackets was done that way, but that without those brackets, bodmas didn't enter into it. Which is obviously what a bunch of us were taught also, hence us looking like cunts :D
So your question, you would have to arrange (7 + 5) x 2, else it's always gonna be 17. Apparently.

You're absolutely correct. This is an example of where parentheses is required to specify that the addition takes priority. Another way of saying this is that the addition happens on a higher level than the multiplication.
As I said, to avoid confusion, the rules of Math always apply. Otherwise you'd come up with different answers to the same equation depending on how you decided to do it.
Yeah it is written wrong. If I was doing it in my head I would do it in that order though, from left to right. Wouldn't put brackets around it though in my head .

Yeah, totally get it now, as others have stated, it's not hard (no wonder people were laughing so much lol), so far everyone of my age refuses to believe the answer to the OP is 41, we just weren't taught it, pretty fucking unbelievable really.

Yeah, I had written it wrong, in my head it was correct. I'm pretty sure people don't imagine brackets when they think of how many is 7 plus 5 then multiplied by 2.
