I believe it is 4.

I don't do math. I did say I was stupid. I still don't get it. I thought one did the math left to right. In order. Unless the equation had parentheses. I'm old.

If you're not going to fill in your 2 - 25 then I will do it.

You have been warned.

Only need 3-25. Stretch out the first one into 2 things.

I usually divide the bill by five. Example: $25 / 5 = $5. Either that or the bill rounded up, then times two and divided by ten.
But, then, I don't eat where the bill is $320 before the tip.

Yes, dividing the bill by 5 is the same as taking 20% - but for most the math seems easier to just say divide by 5 - or double and divide by 10 = 2/10 = 1/5 = .2 = 20% = divided by five!

Had my phone interview today. It seemed like it went well.

We're starting to discuss what car to buy this fall.

Would you rather have a Prius or a second Challenger?

I like having two different types of cars. You have muscle, go for efficient and clean.

These days I'd look at a Chevy Volt first.

We were early adopters of the Prius' (number 900 something) and had it 11 years before it was rear ended and totaled because the cost to repair sheet metal exceeded a certain percentage of the residual value. Did I mention it was 11 years old?

The car was reliable, to MPG was great, and it was an awesome local run about. When gas prices went up it was great to have such an efficient car that was not an econo box.

The base model Prius is still a really good buy and a great car with lots of features. However prices climb quickly from there for "comfort candy". Car makers are marketing hybrids to a certain economic group.

It just went from 4 users to 13 in the blink of an eye.

They heard you posted your 25.

What's your tattoo?

Of course you're left handed.

Second Challenger, if you can afford the gas. You only live once.

Hello, I am someone who lives on an island and I have TWO V8 vehicles, and it is very difficult to get over 70 MPH on most days. I am looking for something with a smaller motor when one of my vehicles dies. Preferably something without a roof.

BUT I LOVE MY V8s! NOOOOOOO! They make all the right noises! I can lay black stripes on the road!

It's 4. Not sure why it would be hard.

Very easy. Pedmas. The order of operations: Parenthesis, Exponents, division/multiplication left to right, addition/subtraction left to right.

Multiplication and division first. So when you see an expression like that, place parenthesis around the multiplication and division.

The best sushi I've had in the last five years has been a place in San Francisco owned/operated by a white guy and a half Japanese guy who fly the fish in from the Tsukiji fish market in Japan. It was ridiculously expensive. The other place was a little mom and pop place in Santa Barbara that limits their selection to what is only the freshest available that day (their rice was really good too).

The only sushi I've ever had was at the local Chinese buffet restaurants. They get good scores on their health inspections, so the sushi must be excellent, right?
