I make everyone I interview solve this math problem. And if they can't, I won't hire them

Why does every single internet math problem just come down to pemdas and why are so many people confused by an elementary school concept.

a lot of us haven’t did that type of math in 20 years. Unless you have kids you not gonna remember the order of operation. I had to look it up, I will always remember the concept but I don’t remember the exact order. I did great in math when I was in school. I use calculators these days I have to calculate figures all day everyday. The only thing I get out of this math problem is paying close attention to detail which is needed not so much giving an answer under pressure. At first glance I missed the fact that it was only one horse shoe and one boot which is crazy cuz my whole job is paying close attention to detail.

The answer is 42 if you use order of operations correctly in the last step.

Also, this is wack as fukk.

I'd walk out of the interview if I was asked that

Horse is 10
Two of the shoe is 4
Two boots is 2

multiply the 10 by the one shoe(2) +one of the boots(1)

This

Do you at least let them look up pemdas? shyt I’d have to look this up to remember the order.

Pemdas is spelled out in the word tho

Let this be a lesson. If you all work in HR or are in charge of staffing.... this is why something so simply can be highly affective.

 

[Weaver31]

He used pemdas to get 21. You read the equation wrong.

Oh damn I did fuk up...some of us didn't notice the one shoe and one boot.
