Pick a Number?

It says "2+4*7=?" I exceeded my maximum number of registration attempts trying to figure this out. What's the answer supposed to be?

I miss the days of the little "x" for multiplication. Well, thanks. I'm going to try registering again.

LoLED SO HARD

What?

It was the question you would be asked during registration. I was asked that same question, but I got it right.

I'm not sure why everyone is laughing...

Two people are laughing someone at someone less capable than them. Happens all the time, not a big deal.

There's nothing less capable about that.

There's a lot "less capable" about someone who didn't know * is the symbol for multiplication.

It's different levels of math literacy. Again, the issue was resolved, not a big deal.

There's a reason we use that question. I don't think giving it away is the right idea.

Let me guess. Since this is more of an adult-friendly site, you're giving a question that would be harder for the little kids so we don't have to worry about the whining or complaining. Am I correct?

That and we are looking for a minimum level of intelligence (i.e., a level that is required to at least understand the basic concepts in mafia).

It was never used in my school, and that doesn't make me stupid. This isn't a math site.

No one said you were stupid.

quadz was kind of hinting at it...
Anyway, I'm going to lock this now.

Oh, well apparently I can't, since I made it before creating an account. Can a mod do it?

Quadz was talking about why the test was required.

But it does kind of imply that someone who couldn't figure it out was therefore not smart.
Posted: Mon Jun 18, 2012 3:04 pm
That's true.

It is a simple maths problem.
