Without applying bodmas you could arrive at an answer of 60. By applying it 5+ (1×10) Or 5+10 = 15 Anyone writing 5+1x10 wants shooting anyway, just write 5+10 - it's deliberately confusing otherwise, forcing second guessing. If it's 5+2x10, then less so, giving 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the (any) calcs within brackets, then any "to the power of" then any /, then X then + then -. edit - that's what you said. Reading not so good And he still gets to design the latest supersonic aircraft . If I only I never listened in maths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon 1939 - 1945 were worse. 1348 was pretty bad as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump plus Brexit = a pretty **** up year. Although 1979 beats it for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 It's probably the worst year in my lifetime, for someone with my views. Obviously it isn't anything like as bad as 1914-1919 or 1929-1950ish or whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I bought a mattress off a seller on eBay (proper bed shop) 15 months ago and now it's knackered. Springs twanging and clunking when you move about. I dropped them a message and they said they won't do anything as it's over 12 months since it was purchased. Is there any grounds from a "Sale of Goods act" point of view to get it repaired/replaced as 15 months isn't really a reasonable amount of time for it to last?
