Facts, I second guessed myself :mjlol:

These nikkas are enthusiastic as hell with 21 so much so that they damn near convinced me lol

Originally I thought OP was trolling with this easy ass question. But clearly alot of ya'll don't really know math like that :francis:

Explain to me how addition comes before multiplication in the order of operations?

I get 42. Order of operations says multiplication and division must be done before addition and subtraction. the horse is 10, the horseshoe is 4, and the boot is 2. 10 x 4 is 40. Add 2, that's 42.

:yeshrug:

Edit: Ahh I see now. The mind fukkery. LOL. It's 21

If this was the bar one had to pass to work at a company, I would immediately conclude that this is not a company worth working for.

This is a stupid problem that doesn't tell you anything that would filter a good employee from a bad employee.

Sure it does. You can tell if someone is

Overconfident
Lacks attention to detail
Doesn't process shyt well
Lacks confidence
Or they're just plain slow. The longest someone took to do this with was 27 minutes. And they still got it wrong :unimpressed:

This is true, although in my experience it also tells you how much an employer values the dignity of it's employee's.
Type of businesses that are this unconventional are the usually type that will have you doing mandatory coworker relations classes like forcing you to yoga together and have mandatory holiday dress codes like ugly sweater day, then reprimand you for not being an enthusiastic enough participant in all the random activities and deny your promotion. if you the type that already has friends and just wants to show up to work and go home, instead of spending your after hours planning your secret santa gift to someone you really don't care that much about, this would be a big red flag.
