Snake-Pit Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) I actually worked how I got 49..."I was stoned"and went the 8 x 7 - 7 route when I (somehow) gave it as 14 / 7 = 1, not 2!That's how I came to 49...Should have said 56 (and still get it wrong).

Apollo Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 This was pretty easy. People really don't understand basic math? Quote
Snake-Pit Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 I FINALLY GET IT!and not like a parrot this time...That plus seven at the start gets subtracted at the end..!So they may as well ask what's 7/7 + 7x7? and to Hell with it all.It's 50 because 7/7 is 1 and 7x7 is 49. so 1 + 49.The answer's 50.I get it, now.
