Earlier this month there was a huge debate on this forum about an error KTN had made on their interactive game show. The issue was with the simple arithmetic - 11 x 2 + 32 - 21 + 5 x 3 + 5 x 1 The answer that won cash was 120, which off course was WAY off.

Well, today KBC ran something similar on their show. 23 - 12 x 5 + 112 - 20 + 3 x 8 + 12 The choices were -125, -170 and 250

I took screen shots:

The answer that won Kshs.50,000 was 250

So how did they arrive at 250? Here's their calculation:
