@Claire, ever heard of Dunning-Kruger <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect>effect? One skunker once pointed that out to you when you argued in this list that the number 666 is in the new constitution. Just saying....

@paul
At what point do we decide to put the brackets?
I believe sospeter said that they are imaginary and that they just make it easier in grouping...
...therefore, would I be wrong if I just imagine that there are brackets there because I want to make the grouping easier?

just keep in mind that both 4's are negative so there is no 4-4, its -4-4, plus there's no need for brackets here....

@joram...
My point exactly:
----- quoting joram ----- - with the bodmas rule do you calculate left to right or right to left? - when you have 8-4-4 which substraction do you do first the (4-4) or the (8-4) ----- end of quoting joram -----
a) 8-4-4 can be equal to 8 if we first do (4-4) b) 8-4-4 can be equal to 0 if we first do (8-4)
What I also ask is which left? My Left or Your Left.
Kudos to Joram for throwing in the whole toolbox in the works instead of only the spanner...
