  Lol, I never said nuthin' about 11 ( you did ) . I  said  1 + 10 doubled  = 22 or 1 +10 x 2 = 22.

  Ooooooh no you don't, don't be deflecting. Your example-the one that failed miserably-had me buying 10 sleeves to add to the one I had and THEN you propose the bet. 1 + 10 was what was staring you in the face. Doubled is what you would lose. Thinking that's 22. Was when I went to school, anyway. Totally different problem written an entirely different way. LOL

  I am absolutely astounded that you, a businessman, actually believe there are 2 answers. SMH.

  Lol, Of course i don't Jim. They are two different equations. For the sake of argument, I took the position that if the " () " could be "implied"  the " 11 " could also be " implied ", but not stated.  The actual equations would be this , but, I do enjoy a good round of banter.

  1 + 10 x 2 = 21

  1 + 10 = 11 x 2 = 22

  Once again, I come to quibble.

  1 + 10 x 2 = 21

  ...so far, so good

  1 + 10 = 11 x 2 = 22

  ...hmm...that one's not an equation.  The two equal signs are the giveaway.

  The proper way to express the second one is:

  1 + 10 = 11

  2 x 11 = 22

  Just remember that 1 + 10 x 2 = 21 no matter how you slice it.

  If you really want to get 22, you need:

  (1 + 10) x 2 = 22

  A result of 22 requires parentheses....OOO baby baby.

  PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction)

  WOW! Just got back with my parts

  I haven't seen a shyt storm like this in a LONG time.

   Absolutely hilarious guys

  The one "constant" in the equation, if I may >>>

  alosso, the potential BILLIONARE, is keeping understandably MUM!

  That's the funniest part of all... He knows a winner when he sees, (IS) one lols

  Ok, then, let's turn that 22 into 30 dollars so 3 guys can rent a room in a motel. They pay the clerk and adjourn to the room. The clerk then realizes he overcharged the guys and the room was only $25. He goes to refund the $5 but then decides the guys won't know the difference so he keeps $2 for himself and refunds $3. Each guy gets a dollar back and the clerk's got 2.  Everybody's happy.

  Waaaait a minute here. Each guy paid $9 for the room and the clerk kept $2. Somebody call the cops, a dollar is missing.  $9 x 3 = $27. $27 plus the clerk's $2 = $29. Where's the other dollar?

   

  p.s., This is a perfect example of why the argument for 21 and 22 even exists.  :-)

  $25 + $3 = $28

  $28 + $2 = $30

  There is no "other dollar" just as there is no spoon.

  But wait, how can ya eat yer pudding if there is no spoon?  I think we have to ask Pink Floyd.

  Too easy...30 cows in the field and 28 of them were chicken, so 2 did and 28 didn't.

  mkg335:

  $25 + $3 = $28

  $28 + $2 = $30

  I still have 3 guys paying $9 for $27 total. Can't get around that, they all have a dollar from 10. The clerk has 2. I only see $29.  ;-)

   

  LMAO @ chicken cows.
