Good job mpython, the answer is -46. It makes no difference how you look at it, (it's not "just a sum" anyway, there is addition, subtraction and multiplication) you don't just do it all in the order it is written down, maths/science wouldn't work otherwise! This is an appalling question!

It's not an appalling question, it's an interesting one; why else are we talking about it.

Applying the rules of operator precedence, i.e. apply time and divide before plus and minus, you get -46. It's the sort of question we used to get at school. They've been cunning with their answers.

Just to add more confusion, having read the entire thread, and deciding to go with the middle option, I see the options now are

80
-46
100

So both the answers reached in this thread are "eligible".

Do we get more than one go at this.

I think I'll enter once in my name and once in DH's name, giving us at least a chance!
