holy crap, I done about as pissed as I can get at this damn ibogaine site. In order to register you must solve a math problem. (yeah) Now kids would not (1+6)2 be read as, 6 added to 1 is 7 right. () is what,division (was in my school) SOO the answer would be 3.5? How dumb am I because no matter what I plug in, the damn thing says Im wrong. of course no way to bitch out the person behind it, soo WTF kids? Help.
 
Looks like you mixed up the () as division (symbolized by /), but it implies multiplication (and also to perform calculations within parentheses first) when a sign is left out.
So (1+6)2 would read (1+6)*2 or 7*2=14

What part of the world do you live in where () is division and not multiplication?
 
jesus. Thanks yall. i actually forgot about this after getting all torqued over it. Eboka is an ibogaine forum that requires a completion of the problem in order to reg. Ummm I live in America- we have an AWESOME public school system I was victim, uh, a student of, but math just ain't my fortay.
Actually, if yall wanna make jokes it was the ATLANTA GEORGIA public school system. I was in hell, uh school, like almost 30 years ago, so perhaps the years (drugs) have caused me to transpose some math notations in my head. I dunno... its early. Fixin to plug the number 14 into the field, but I swear I tried. I swear I did.😉
