A calculator does not perform PEDMAS, it performs each operation as soon as you enter it.

50 + 50 = 100
100 - 25 = 75
75 x 0 = 0
0 + 2 + 2 = 4

Some fancy calculators might.

I need to bring food for a party.

Veggie trays are also often disappointing. A lot of times its just random, barely seasoned veggies and doesnt taste like anything.

Theres all kinds of stuff you can take. Potato salad, macaroni salad, chex mix any kind of chip and dip not to mention nacho's use your imagination.

I hate what passes for macaroni and potato salad at most parties and i could have brought chips or something but that would have been just one bag among many and i wanted to bring something substantial.

I seriously considered nachos but i didnt have those ingridients and the place that makes the best nachos by me does not do catering trays of them.


The risotto actually worked out beautifully, though i still wish i put less black pepper.

I do like black pepper...everyone seemed to like it, and like that it had a lot of pepper. Whew.

A bird stopped by my window , it doesn't seem to be scared of people , it moves a little.

You should google bird rescue in your area, there are usually people who will come and try to save the bird. I don't know how old you are but I would tell your parents first if applicable.

I would get 104, based on how I was taught in school the order of operations are. I think it may be things have changed since I was in school though.

I was taught PEMDAS = Parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction. Where multiplication and division have equal priority, and addition and subtraction have equal priority.

Since there are no parenthesis or exponents, according to PEMDAS you mutliple 25x0 first. that gives you 50+50-0+2+2

100-0+2+2

And from there it's easy to see how I got 104.


Important to note that order of operations is pretty arbitrary. It's just how a bunch of academics decided that the language of math should be written.

My mum calls me lazy.

Hi Lazy, my mum calls me Lano.

The fact is we rarely have particularly smart, rational, or unselfish parents. At best our parents are average. This is sad but it may help you take less of what your mother tells you to heart.

It took me longer than usual to realize such things as well and im still getting over the disappointment to a degree.
