Your answers are just about all wrong .

not just about, they are all wrong, and I assume it must be a level. 20 minutes? It took less than 5. all of the alternate answers are right.

I'm so confused. Is this some sort of weird level that I'm not privy to? My first response was going to be "this forum is not your calculator" but I thought that sounded a little harsh. The fact that Phil got any of those wrong, and that people are arguing about your answers has left me thinking that I must be missing something.

lol @ being outspoken and wrong.

Jay got them right first but to be fair these are 'order of operations trick questions' which a lot of people will screw up for the simple fact that they don't think twice about it.
