Is half of two plus two equal to two or three?


PM answers to me only please and DON'T forget to post on this thread when you have PM'd me - if you don't, it delays your rep points....

Also, some of you haven't received rep points - I have to wait for the system to catch up - they will come through eventually

The answer is 3.

It seems that it could almost be either, but if you follow the mathematical orders of operation, division is performed before addition. So... half of two is one. Then add two, and the answer is three.



Thanks everyone for playing
