Red Leaf High Maths Question
It begs to believe that so many people struggle with such easy math (mathematic) question. They cannot work the maths question out then complain to Nexon, it is a glitch.
Calculators are only as smart as the person is. If you use a calculator and get the wrong answer, it means you input the equation wrong.
Ever heard of order of operation?
[header]There are several varieties of what it's called including;[/header]
- BODMAS [b](used here, Brackets, Order, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction) [/b]
- PEMDAS for USA
- BEDMAS for Canada.
Example if the question is 2 + 3 X 3 + 1 you would 1st do 3 X 3 = 9 because order of operation states do multiplication before addition. Then you do 2 + 9 + 1 giving you 12.
You don't do 2 + 3 equal 5 then 5 X 3 + 1 equal 16.
Please do your math homework for the sake of yourself.

@secksymom I'm not trust me, and all im doing is adding then multiply then adding again and I get it right.

[quote=MapleFruitNinja]This is supposed to be HARD? </3[/quote]
No but some find it hard which baffles a lot of people
[quote=Erag0n1]I'm pretty sure anyone old enough to get into the event maps can solve that[/quote]
Youèd be surprised, a lot of people complain that they cant.
@secksymom: PEMDAS/BEDMAS works for me
I use my android phone, takes about 5 secs to figure it out
Anyway. Pemdas works perfectly in Red Leaf High. I did it loads of times and it works every single time I do it. Some calculators cannot recognize order of operations so bear that in mind when u use a calculator.
sorry but i really don't see the point in this thread. so whats wrong with using a calculator to pass a level on a GAME?
What does the P in PEDMAS stand for o.o
-Canadian guy <--
[quote=ominousnomad]...How did he misuse it if you understand that it can be used as a singular word?
I'm pretty sure that's the meaning that he intended to use, but if it isn't I'm sorry to have offended you.
And just to spite you, the period goes inside the parenthesis
P.S. you can look it up on dictionary.com if you'd like, pretty much same definition
edit: and I've never even seen the term "maths" used as a plural term. Seeing as the term "mathematics" denotes a general field and is singular. Addressing you previous post, there are not different "maths", as mathematics is a term encompassing the entire field. There are different [i]types[/i] of "math," or "maths," as the TS might put it. If the original term cannot be made plural, usually the abbreviation should not become plural either.
/end long rant about the English language[/quote]
It's like color vs colour. Maths is just used in the UK and Australia while math is used in the US and Canada. Anyway I just use google calculator for these problems.
Thats why I only use a calculator to do the multiplication sometimes then add the other 2 numbers manually
Of course they're simple questions.
It's really just that they're too hard for mental math, and for most players - they can't find a calculator at the time the girl asks the questions.
I got questions like 3657 + 88 x 45 - 56 x 412 = ?
Seriously, THAT is what you call hard questions when your calculator is in your abandoned school bag back in June. O_O
It was quite easy to figure out.
[quote=Kunoichi]If you can't solve these simple math equations your too young to play Maplestory... But if your like.. freaking 21... Go back to school idiots[/quote]
I'm actually offended by that, you do know some people suffer from conditions that have not allowed them the capacity to learn math properly? I'm one of those people who suffered as a child, and as an adult does not know math.
.......i've been doing these left to right without using please eat my dead aunt sally.... got them right every single time 0.0
...does anyone actually calculate those from left to right?
waiting for Mars Maple Story
You know its sad when you pull out a scientific calculator and still get the questions wrong, so something is indeed wrong.
[quote=DannySaeWhat]PEMDAS - Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract.
Math Structure on which order you do first. [/quote]
y u americans have to be so different
BEDMAS - Brackets,Exponents,Division,Multiplication,Addition,Subtraction
OToesn't everyone know this?
@ominousnomad: My god youre an idiot. How do you not see that maths is both a plural and singular word? Either way the thread starter misused maths and youre defending that. And i did look at that link, but I wouldnt trust it since Wikipedia is publicly edited and known to have false information. Why dont you just read a book and stop trying to be "Captain Righteousness".
@RubyRidge: ok.... cool
[quote=Thingy]Reminds me of [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/show/screen/221331#photo_top]this[/url][/quote]
It is beyond a joke I know. She even used a calculator and got it wrong. She says she not at math but she does not even know how to use a calculator correctly.
@TrumanB
There are several varities of what its called. It may be called BEDMAS where you are but its BODMAS where I am. In USA also known as PEDMAS
@bombdigity
You know, jokes and sarcasm are very hard to detect online unless you give hints that you are joking. What you said did not seem like a joke and it seems you legitmately did not know what BODMAS was so I gave you some links on it.
If you can't solve these simple math equations your too young to play Maplestory... But if your like.. freaking 21... Go back to school idiots
I thought it was BEDMAS...
@RubyRidge: well actually i was doubting myself so i looked it up on google and apparently there is a huge debate on that so idk idc please stop i don't want to argue don't act superior cause you think that is right math majors have actually said it could be 1 and a lot of them believe the operation is wrong in the first place hence the person who originally said you cant use PEMDAS on it said it. i don't know which is right just stop please=) thankyou
Every time I see someone complain about how they can't get the answer and that their calculator is wrong, it makes me die a little inside.

A quick google of "BODMAS" would of gave you the answer
o_o FISH
@RubyRidge: yeah but when doing parentheses if a plus or minus sign is before it you change the numbers in the parentheses according and if a number is before it you multiply. 6/2(2+1)= 6/(4+2) 6/6=1
[quote=askmiller]@babieemi: yes, because I bring a paper and pencil with me when I play video games [/quote]
Seems like you have a very hard time getting out of your chair to get paper and pencil or a calculator
@ominousnomad: I didnt say it wasnt a word genius. I said he was incorrectly using it according to the subject matter of his post. I know there are different kinds of Maths, like algebra, calculus and such. But the way he was using it constituted that he use the singular form. Stop trying to be a smartass, it just makes you look more ignorant...
[quote=Ahhloha]whats a calculator?[/quote]
A school supply.
To be honest, the math is pretty much the only thing about Red Leaf High that DOESN'T bother me...
Can't it be said that this teaches and encourages violence in schools?
Beat up the teachers, beat up the students... Run away when the nurses try to give you a shot (enjoy your polio) The hell? O-o
Forget the math just use a calculator. its still summer.
its PEMDAS as in, "Please excuse my dope ass swag" for filipinos BTW.
They won't learn it any other way.
[quote=askmiller]well idk about you, but questions like 33 X 46 really aren't that easy to do in your head.[/quote]
Paper and pencil or a calculator
[quote=Mystelteinn]6÷2(1+2)=?
Use PEMDAS with that and it fails.[/quote]
Answer is 9
How does PEMDAS fail?
EDIT: I see what you may have tried to do there... ?
Were you trying to confuse between 6 / 2 (1 + 2) and 6 / (2 (1 + 2) ) ?
Wait a second... People are actually struggling with this? And there's a thread about it in which the OP scorns such people? And it's over 8 pages long? Oy...
[quote=CuteKitten]Please excuse my dear aunt Suzan[/quote]
It's Sally, not Suszan.
[quote=Mystelteinn]6÷2(1+2)=?
Use PEMDAS with that and it fails.[/quote]
That's not really a good example, because it could be:
__6__
2(1+2)
or
(6/2) (1+2)
Sorry I'm not Asian. I'll stick to my calculator.
Oh Look, a kid Who tried to be smart here..Sigh...
This is not the place to show your math skill tho.
Whoever failed the math during that event quest, they are still too young for the math, who still in elmentary school. Becuase you are just too old(Quit Your Game and go back to your life and not to showing your math skill here OK?) for this game, so you do know the answers for those math questions. nexon knows that many kids havent grow up(ppl still elmentary school, dont know much about the math) yet.
Are you still try to be smart here, because of those easy math questions Son O_____________O?
Are you feel so proud of yourself? because you know those mtfooker "easy" math questions? O___________O
PEDMAS sucks. Just do the distributive property first.
[quote=MapleXAnime247]Actually, you dont do it as Parentheses, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition THEN Subtraction. you do it like this
Parentheses, Exponent,
Multiplication, Division,
Addition, Subtraction
P and E, M and D, A and S are done at the same time. Thats how youre REALLY supposed to use it, not 1 by 1. But you wouldnt know that since you learn that in Pre-Calculus. Just check your facts before trying to correct others, it leads to misinformation.
P.S. - You may be good at math but you suck at English. STOP SAYING MATHS. There is no subject named "Maths" its a singular word, not a plural![/quote]
not really, a good example would be
(2+3)^2
if you solve the parenthesis first, you get
5^2
25
whereas if you do the exponent first you have to go through the whole a squared +2ab +b squared, which would give the same result but would take much longer to calculate in a serious operation
the part of mult/div and add/substract is absolutely true, but anyone that is using pemdas, bodmas or whatever on high school never really learned math.
Thank you. I'm forever telling people about BIDMAS when they tell me I'M wrong about my answer to a maths poll question on facebook.
BIDMAS = Brackets, indices, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction.
[quote=secksymom]Because Nexon is dumb and doesn't know math. I typed it in the way I see it and it works and when I try PEMDAS it fails.[/quote]
Lol then you are mathematically incompetent and doing it wrong. You always do the multiplication first:
Ex. 2 + 5 x 6 + 3 (Standard RLH format).
5 x 6 FIRST.
Then you add on 2 and 3.
That is PEMDAS.
You are clearly doing something wrong.

@maplonian: brackets, exponents, divide&multiply, add&subtract.
fixed
@maplefreak26: Grouping Symbols, Exponents, Multiplication&Division, Addition&Subtraction.
also fixed
[quote=Mystelteinn]6÷2(1+2)=?
Use PEMDAS with that and it fails.[/quote]
What? It works perfectly fine. It's 9.
1+2=3, 6/2=3 and then 3*3=9
It can also be called GEMDAS; Grouping Symbols, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
[quote=RubyRidge]When there is more than one instance of multiplication or division, you go left to right.
Parentheses first, then multiplication/division left to right. So you'd add 2 + 1, and then divide 6 by 2. Multiply 3 by 3 and you get 9. This is how order of operations works.[/quote]
Yeah I see my mistake now. It is 9 not 1.
[quote=Mystelteinn]6÷2(1+2)=?
Use PEMDAS with that and it fails.[/quote]
It works fine. Order of operations works 100% of the time. The answer is 1, not 9...
Set it up so it's 6/2(1+2). Solve the denominator with the distributive property or just use PEMDAS, so you have 6/6 which equals 1.

idk what you guys are doing but it is 1. </3
[quote=solace]Maths is the correct spelling when shortening the word Mathematics. Americans, including myself, have it wrong.[/quote]
I just hate the word. It's so awkward.
