IMO due to the lack of brackets defining the actual sums both 20 and 320 are correct...


Neither is wrong but neither is right as the perimeters of the sum have not been defined... :P :P :P

No you are wrong  :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

Swap the number 4 for 1

so

4x4+4x4+4-4x4 => 1x1+1x1+1-1x1

because you only have 1x it's the same as 1+1+1-1 which we all know is actually 3-1 = 2

anyone that still thinks the answer is anything other than 20 here's some primary school maths;
