      Mike was the only one who seemed to put some thought into his number. Plus 8000, divided by 20, plus 1? Oh, yeah, and the plus one was given after he took the earpiece out to supposedly prevent him from cheating.

      ​@@Alacritous, it must be a scientific calculator.

      ​@@AlacritousWhat's PEMDAS stand for? I've always heard it called BIDMAS/BODMAS.
      Guessing parentheses for P but then I'm stuck! 😅
      Oh, Exponents?? And then multiply and divide are reversed?? 👀😱
      Feels wrong, me no like! 😅 What country are you from? I'm UK

      ​@@MrQotasMultiply before divide does make sense though, as you also have addition before subtraction.
      In truth it doesn't matter, because both pairs are on the same level.

    That is the correct answer technically (if not logically because the sum was given one step at a time), but you wouldn't come up with that answer on a desk calculator. Each time an operator is used, a calculation is made ie. it calculates in order, not by BODMAS rules.
