My answer would be "do you mean one plus two-times-three, or one-plus-two times three?" Do I win an apple? Are you the teacher? Well, I seem to agree with the majority. :-P Seriously, you can't claim only 20% 'got it right', as asking where the brackets are is a perfectly reasonable (and imho, much more sensible response than assuming there are none) question. Brackets are very hard to hear in spoken questions. (I assume it was a spoken question - if it was written it would be a slightly different matter) Sorry, no cigar, nor apple. There is a single correct answer without brackets. |
