“You must be an engineer.”

The answer is 16.

He has the wrong answer of 1. Engineers know the order of precedence of math and know to perform left to right multiplication and division.

So are you claiming to be an engineer and engineers always do things right? LOL

It’s *you* who needs to go back to post #36 and re-read it.

Hartley never said there was one correct answer and it was 1. He was pointing out the need for an additional set of parentheses for the answer to be 1.
