I Found this poll on Twitter:

2+2X4 = ?

81% say 16
3% say 15
4% say 14
12% say 13

I say all are wrong it's 10
PEMDAS

Twist · 11-29-2022, 07:19 PM

Order of Operation, do the multiplication first.

Saltyag15 · 11-29-2022, 07:21 PM

Idk…I guess it depends on the way it’s presented? I feel like this thing needs parentheses.

2 + (2x4)
(2+2) x 4

I agree with you without them. I’d say 10 too!

WTX · 11-29-2022, 07:26 PM

I’d say 10

J-5 · 11-29-2022, 07:29 PM

I’d say it looks like they’re 100% ignorant.

GarGuy · 11-29-2022, 07:44 PM

The way it is written, 10 is the answer.

texan16 · 11-29-2022, 07:54 PM

10 is the correct answer

ken800 · 11-29-2022, 08:14 PM

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally says it's 10.

jaime1982 · 11-29-2022, 08:15 PM

mult before add if no parentheses

10

jdg13 · 11-30-2022, 07:49 AM

It's 10...

Pushbutton2 · 11-30-2022, 07:53 AM

I wonder why was 10 not an option in the Poll?

I hope you didn’t go to aTm 😁. The problem is “presented” just fine and how you’d see it in a 4th grade classroom. Order of Operations….. Answer is “10”

WCB · 11-30-2022, 08:09 AM

Has anyone said "10" yet??

rolylane6 · 11-30-2022, 08:26 AM

With 10 being excluded from the possible answer list, I'm just wondering how any of the 19% came up with anything other than 16?

Smart · 11-30-2022, 08:29 AM

What if the 4 identifies as a 6?

Playa · 11-30-2022, 10:32 AM

This explains a lot about where we are as a country. These people vote…. And more importantly, COUNT AND TABULATE the votes

BTW- I came up with “football bat” as my solution, which is as close as any of the options given

Mission408 · 11-30-2022, 10:49 AM

10

Goldeneagle · 11-30-2022, 11:45 AM

How in the world did anyone come up with an odd number out of that?

Mitchell8 · 11-30-2022, 11:55 AM

This is how Joe Biden does math? I’m confused

doeboy11 · 11-30-2022, 11:59 AM

10 but I am baffled by the odd numbers also.

Geezy Rider · 11-30-2022, 12:03 PM

I’ll just have to take y’all’s word for it.

It did not say that 10 was excluded or that it was multiple choice.

It appears that of the people shown the problem, those were the answers given.

Poppy · 11-30-2022, 12:59 PM

I also say 10

bboswell · 11-30-2022, 01:23 PM

Anyone with a kid in their 20’s can explain the reason for those poll results!

RiverRat1 · 11-30-2022, 01:28 PM

And there were 55,420 votes in that poll LOL

There's no inflation & the borders secure

According to Biden

GarGuy · 11-30-2022, 03:27 PM

2 votes for Trump + 2 votes for Biden x 4 = 16 votes for Biden. Simple math

Gumbo Man · 11-30-2022, 03:30 PM

I see it as 10 being the right answer. And if I’m wrong I really did pick the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

Ahhh.
Well, either way, I could see the mistake in coming up with 16. But 13, 14, 15....That requires absolutely zero math skills whatsoever.
