A wife says to her engineer husband, "Could you please go to the
store for me and buy a carton of milk. If they have eggs, get six."

A short time later the husband comes back with six cartons of milk.
The wife asks, "Why the heck did you buy six cartons of milk?"

"They had eggs."

*thinks 6 cartons of milk, thats alot of tea!
 
6/6 = 1 easy, and 01+01 = 10, just to be pedantic.

6/6 is an irrelevant thing to write, because the equation isnt asking for the answer to 6/6 even when you multiply out the brackets. you may as well have written 10/10 +0 = 1 easy, it has about as much relevance.
 
good god the answer is obvious , its 42 :wave: :wave: :wave:
 
one more bump for 9 , still say it is 42 though :lol:
 
In that case there will be those that would say it should have been closed on the first or seventh page rather than the ninth.

i added a smilie to stop you getting your knickers in a twist :)

seriously want to know the uni that teaches maths incorrectly though to avoid it
 
Knickers are not in a twist, I just thought you were very rude and disrespectful.

Adding a smiley after doesn't hide the intent as witnessed by your follow on statement.
 
I thought that was a bit harsh as well.

this thread had been quite well intended up until that point, yes there had been opinions divided but at the same time devoid of any "OI THICKIE" style finger pointing
