The Secret Rule Behind the Puzzle
To solve this challenge correctly, we must follow the Order of Operations.
This rule tells us the sequence in which calculations must be performed.
Many countries teach it using acronyms such as:
- PEMDAS
- BODMAS
- BIDMAS
Although the names differ slightly, the principle remains the same.
The order is:
- Parentheses (Brackets)
- Exponents (Orders)
- Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
- Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
The key thing to remember is that multiplication comes before
