If you'd ever taken any advanced math, you'd see that the answer is 1 all day. The implicit multiplication is done before the division because anyone taking advanced math would see 2(1+2) as a term that must be resolved first. The answer still lies in the ambiguity of the way the problem is written though. If the author used fractions instead of that stupid division symbol, there would be no ambiguity. It's either 6/2 x 3 = 9 or [6/(2x3)] = 1. Comment formatting aside, if someone put 6 in the numerator, and then did or did NOT put all the rest in the denominator underneath a horizontal bar, it would be obvious.

TL;DR It's still a formatting issue, but 9 is definitely not the clear and only answer.

Been saying that for a while now too. The people bankrolling him; Saudi Arabia and Russia, have a vested interest in seeing Twitter burn after the Arab Spring organized around it, and Ukraine found so much support on the platform. The thing is, he can't directly run it into the ground without lawsuits so he's doing it piece by piece.

To me, sounds like: "You're allowed to play this game where odds are we will we take your money but you're not allowed to pay attention."

It's exactly what they mean and you're just telling me that you choose to communicate your ignorance by being confidently wrong.

"Prisoners are one of the federally-protected populations of research participants. This status, accompanied by additional regulatory requirements and ethical considerations, is designed to reduce specific risks that may be experienced by this vulnerable population. This includes confidentiality risks as well as vulnerability to undue influence on the decision about whether to participate in the research."

Yes, but here's the thing...some casinos have now started to advertise single-deck blackjack. To me, as soon as fewer decks have become an incentive to entice people to your particular casino, they should have no right to kick you out over card counting at those tables. But that's just me and my silly basic morals.

I think you two are talking past each other. "People wearing swastikas" is not a class of people because nazism isn't a religion. They are just people making a choice to wear a shitty and offensive armband. Classes are about things people either couldn't possibly help; such as nationality, race, sex, disability, color...or things so closely tied to their identity that they should never be expected to change; such as gender, sexuality, and religion.

Then there are some outside of the standard discourse as well, like prisoners are a protected class when it comes to psychological research.

He did repeat the same. Mwuahahah.

Well, if it's on the internet, it must be true. Everyone knows that.

There's nothing bad about admitting you were wrong, it only proves you are wiser today than you were yesterday.
