this is not really a math problem its more visual
if you would look carefully then you would solve it correctly
but when you do it fast then you make stupis mistakes

[smurf]

based on the fact that most people got it wrong so far, it would seem that all the people saying how easy it is actually got it wrong

This is 100% a math problem. If you do not know the rules of math you will get it wrong.

[MnM1130]

if u dont know math rules it may take u a while.. if u knew them it takes 1 second.

[AJK]

I dont think we are doing pretty well here at all.

Please excuse my...

The poll results explain why most DDF’s believe points are better than cash back. 
Sorry I couldn’t help myself.

That's written in a way to mislead you, this is very straightforward. Follow the rules and you'll get it right

its also done in a way to trick you that if you just look at it quick then you will get it wrong
just like the sentence

Lets make this simple.
1 + 1 X 0=?
If you don't apply math rules you will most likely get it wrong

Lets make this simple.
1+1x0=?
If you don't apply math rules you will most likely get it wrong

+(1+1x0)

that is easier to read then the op so ppl will get that right more often

Based on the results they are getting it wrong because they don't know math rules not because they are reading it wrong.

well, either that or they're answering without thinking...

My dear aunt Sally died the day after I took that test, like most information did in school after being tested on it.

I assume that this was intended to be solved by the standard order of operations (and answered accordingly), but you can actually get 2 different answers with different calculators. The easiest way to show this is to run the problem through the Windows calculator in 'standard' mode and then again in 'scientific' mode (you can switch by clicking view and then the appropriate mode). You'll see that standard view will return 0 because it processes the operations as you put them in, which is to say left to right. But in scientific view it will return 14 because it processes the operation according to the standard order of operations.

...and one of them is wrong!

Still haven't gotten to a computer yet. Can I assume the question ends off X0 ?
