I do believe two of the equations have an Odd Ordinate Outcome.

I have to side with mycrob and calculators. This thing: Quote:
(468/12*7/49*0) / (12*23/3*0*8) doesn't make sense. Edited by svslav

---===| Time for a Time Out |===---
I did not expect the game to have proceeded as quickly as it has. I am hereby notifying all players that I will not be available between 5pm and 7pm this evening. I may return sooner, but cannot guarantee this. Anyone posting a guess during this time will receive a response when I return. All responses will be given one at a time in the order that the corresponding guesses were posted.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

I think it is a matter of accepted conventions. I assumed since all players were American they would understand that '/' meant 'divided by'. After all, we all accepted '*' as 'multiplied by'.
(468 ÷ 12 X 7 ÷ 49 X 0) / (12 X 23 ÷ 3 X 0 X 8)

As mycrob pointed out division by zero is undefined!

I understood! And 49* 0= 0- and this is the 3rd position in there, making it in the denominator and you can't dvidie by zero in the denominator. OOO= Obvious Obvious Obvious! |
