Random question fail...

[mr_naler]

So I just registered on this site, and I have a little problem with the registration. In the registration there was a "Random Question" which was: What is 3 plus 1 times 2? The answer to this question is 5, however the accepted answer was 8. I'm guessing this was an error. Anyhow, I guess this was an odd first post, but I look forward to being an active part of this community.

Were there parenthesis involved? lulz

3+1x2=5

(3+1)x2=8

That's what I see.

But welcome! You made it through the test! You shall pass!

Haha, no parenthesis. It was written just as I typed it. I had a feeling it was going to be done improperly. Not a big deal, I'm just a math nerd.

Guess the forum doesn't know order of operations.

Unfortunately I don't think that most people do. PEMDAS FTW.
