I'm sorry OP, but it's critical that we maintain a minimum level of mathematical ability around here. I suggest that your friend undergo an intense week of revision before attempting the test again.

Clearly can't do math then, there's not way that question could equal 42.

I weep for math teachers and all their apparently wasted efforts to teach people how to do arithmetic.

It's also not working for me
This is weird because I created a hydra a few months ago and it worked just fine
I'd suggest bringing this to the help section of the forum

When I learned it it was PEMDAS

Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction
first M, then A.
2 + 4*7 = 2 + 28 = 30!
that was fun.
It's okay Matt.
They taught me to spell fish like "phish" in 2nd grade and they told me that was how it was spelled
