[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 3095702, member: 18914"] Help me out here, I was watching and it started with: 13 x 7 = 91 Easy no problem but then progressed to 91 + 60 x 4 = the answer they credited was 604 (i.e. 91+60 =151 x 4 = 604) but my old dusty brain says that PEMDAS dictates 60x4 = 240 + 91 = 331 What say you math teachers? Or perhaps someone who watches this show regularly can enlighten me as to whether there is a standing rule of some kind that is used? [/QUOTE]
