What ancient invention allows people to see through walls?
A window.
If you’re given a number, subtract 1, then 2 from the result, then 3 from that result and so on until you reach 0 or a negative number.
For example, if you’re given 15:
15 – 1 = 14 14 – 2 = 12 12 – 3 = 9 9 – 4 = 5 5 – 5 = 0
Which of these numbers will finish exactly at zero?
102 103 104 105 106
105
105 – 1 = 104 104 – 2 = 102 102 – 3 = 99 99 – 4 = 95 95 – 5 = 90 90 – 6 = 84 84 – 7 = 77 77 – 8 = 69 69 – 9 = 60 60 – 10 = 50 50 – 11 = 39 39 – 12 = 27 27 – 13 = 14 14 – 14 = 0
105
105 – 1 = 104 104 – 2 = 102 102 – 3 = 99 99 – 4 = 95 95 – 5 = 90 90 – 6 = 84 84 – 7 = 77 77 – 8 = 69 69 – 9 = 60 60 – 10 = 50 50 – 11 = 39 39 – 12 = 27 27 – 13 = 14 14 – 14 = 0

What is the answer to this math problem:
8 ÷ 2 (2 + 2)
16 or 1, depending.
According to PEMDAS, parentheses come first: 8 ÷ 2 (4)
Then, even though multiplication is first in PEMDAS, you go left to right: 4 (4) = 16
If you got 1, you’re in good company. That’s what I got at first too but most calculators I’ve tried get 16.
