What General forum doesn't have a General Knowledge quiz, well, now this one does.
In this thread General Knowledge questions will be asked and you, the ppl, must give answers. After this first question, the winner will be stated here and then will have to give a question; and so on and so forth. Please don't use the internet, cause where's the fun in that.
The author of the question has to tell people who guess whetehr they are correct or wrong.
Rules
1)If no-one gets the answer within 24 hours of it being posted then the person who set it must ask a new one.
2)If no new question is set within 5 hours someone else will have to set a new question.
3)If you find out the answer on the internet(i.e.Google,Wikipedia) then you can't enter.
4)If you answer a question, you will get a point, providing that you also set a question.
5)No points will be added to the setter's total if no-one answers their question (Because than you could just set a really hard question that no-one would get)

...I can't bloody well remember. It has something to do with sorting out numbers with plus and minus in front of them first. (After brackets, obviously.)
EDIT: Exponents!

It makes so little sense that another thing that made no sense happened, you gomdoogle.
And I'm right, the whole point of Bemdas/Bimdas is to remember the order of operations in a math problem, so if you have multiply after divide it makes no sense.
A ytmnd flash was gonig to be after this, but....

BIDMAS
BEMDAS
BODMAS
...
There are quite a few more as well. It matters little though, they all mean the same thing. Different schools/teachers usually end up using whichever one they were taught.

No it aint, it's BIDMAS - Brackets, Index (numbers), Divide, Multiply, Add and Subtract. But of course, multiplication and division are kinda grouped, as are adding and subtracting :)

Well, according to BODMAS, multiplication comes before addition, so its then 2 + (2x2) = 2+4 = 6 :)

It's either 6 or 8.
I'll say 8, because i'm pretty sure Multiply comes before adding on Bidmas/Bodmas.
