simple maths

[Dan_GTi8v]

my calculator brings it out as 1   Not saying anyone's wrong but it goes against what I was taught at school (at least what I can remember of it 12 odd years ago )

I know this is being called simple maths, but if certain calculators bring it out as different answers and calculators are what kids are relying on nowadays in their exams, doesnt seem very simple to me

The normal calc returns 1, the scientific calc returns 21, programmers calc returns 10101. Sure we learnt this at school, the last time I would have done something like this would have been 12 years ago, not going to have remembered that little quirk of maths rules straight away so went for the obvious answer, I did try change my answer after a minute as I had remembered the rule but it's not set to allow changes.

multiply first... give you 21. Which was my answer 

[dragongreengolfgti]

Its 1 20+20 x0 = 0 + 1= 1  this is very simple lol

[R32UK]

Its 1 20+20 x0 = 0 + 1= 1  this is very simple lol

which bit of multiply first did you not get

21.
Follow the rules of BIDMAS people. I've been teaching it for the past 13 years

Its 1 20+20 x0 = 0 + 1= 1  this is very simple lol

which bit of multiply first did you not get 

I don't believe this rule in this equation either way i look at it nothing multiplys into zero so i'm left with one and im sticking to my view at looking at this although i might vote for 21 just incase

Screw all this rules of maths tosh I'm sticking with my original answer of 1!
