In his school (Chinese public school) the rule is hard and fast - equal level operations must be done left to right unless specifically noted by parentheses. 144 is the only valid answer. I am okay with this. It gives everybody in China the same answer. I believe I have been taught the same thing, but I have no text books to prove it. I have never heard of 1 being an answer until these posts were floating around on Facebook, deliberately putting that hard and fast rule to the test. It is also an issue that the first-glance response is 1, then reconsidering the order of operations, arriving at 144. Based on the number of people who do come up with 1 as an answer, it is generally good practice to use brackets to make it clear. So (a/b)c if you have to write it that way for some reason - or a/(bc) if it is supposed to be expressed the other way. All of the text books I have are clear in that way. I am still curious if there really are text books that teach it the other way. Here is an EE professor asking Dr. Math a very similar question. Interestingly, he says he was taught that all multiplication has priority over division and not multiplication and division have the same priority and are resolved from left to right. I have never heard of such a convention until I read this. Quote As I remember them being taught to me, the rules giving the precedence order for the four arithmetic operations are: (1) all multiplication (in any order) (2) all division, as they occur from left to right (3) all addition and subtraction, as they occur from left to right .............. Based upon inquiries I have made of my math colleagues, I am not the only one who remembers multiplication as being given *sole* top precedence. So now I am searching textbooks for at least three conventions! He also quotes a source showing: Quote "multiplication indicated by juxtaposition is carried out before division." Thus, in general, for any variables a, b and c, we would have a/bc = a/(bc) (assuming, of course, that b and c are nonzero). Indeed, this convention is consistent with what I have seen in many mathematical books at various levels; for example, on p. 84 of Allendoerfer and Oakley, _Principles of Mathematics_, 1969 (my pre-college math book), we find: (a / b) x (c / d) = a c / b d Since he cites his work properly, I can go looking for this text book! 2 Quote Classless Human Male Warrior - Introduction Height: 1.77m Weight: 93 kg Spoiler Current Maxes: (repsxkg) Squat: 10x122.3, 5x138.2, 3x147; 1x170 Bench Press: 10x79, 5x93, 1x102 Deadlift: 10x152, 5x192, 3x210, 1x229 Overhead Press: 10x52, 5x61, 1x70.3 Current Battle Log: 1707 Sam Ashen Summer Swole Program 2017 Challenges: 1701 1702 1703 1704 1705 Previous Challenges: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1603 1604 1605 1606 1607 1609 1610 1611 1612 Daily Log:The Daily Grind Form Check: Stronglifts Olympic More FC's: Pistol Squats Want to play?

Sam Ashen Posted August 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 This morning, I had a vivid dream that I was playing an MMO and my character, obviously a Warrior, climbed a ladder to enter a room to fight a boss and some mobs. He gibbed the boss, but the mobs put him to his knees and chopped his head off. Of course I was mad and I had to wait for the reload screen before I could rez and try it again. Then I woke up. Just a couple of hours after posting this on the AMA thread, the interpretation of the dream dawned on me. I was on my knees doing those heavily assisted pull-ups and I was going to see Miss Broki tonight and she was going to chop my head off. My troll post on IG with the b*tch assist pull-ups got me a tongue lashing like you would not believe. What was that all about? ....... Don't get mad at me when you don't get better. ...... Don't laugh! It's not funny! I'm not laughing. (but you're smiling) That's not a smile. It's my natural expression. (You're smirking. You're yelling at me on the outside and laughing on the inside.) ........ She threatened to unfollow me on IG! Then we were talking about the County Fair and I was showing off the food I ate there. Who needs MFP when you have my phone! ........ What's the point of tracking in MFP when you just eat whatever? (remorselessly posting high scores, obviously, but I did not say that, because she was on a rant.) .......... What's for dinner tonight? (Family-sized Lasagna!) No vegetables? You should have one with every meal. It gets better: This is when another troll showed up in the discussion. He talked about how vegetables are bad for you and all the best vitamins and minerals are found in animal products! On one side, I wonder if I actually did it. From the troll perspective, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! I wonder if I net more followers on IG if she carries out her threat and stops following me.

Sam Ashen Posted August 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Sam Ashen Summer Swole Program, Day 20 of 30: Today was CounterFit - a partner workout: 75 Russian KB Swings each (24 kg) 25 Plate to Overhead each (45 pounds) 50 Sumo DL KB Pulls each (24 kg) 25 Plate to Overhead each (45 pounds) 75 Calorie Row each 25 Plate to Overhead each (45 pounds) That did not go too badly. Then they took us outside for lunges. It was not long before I lost my cool and decided SCREW THIS - and went inside to do lunges on the turf. I have no idea why I pulled off crap like that. When I think about it even more, I was a little bit like that with my previous trainer and it might have something to do with trainer-client relationships and group classes. It could also be that group classes are not my best suit. On the other hand, I did martial arts classes a long time ago and for some reason I cannot put a finger on, it seems different. Also, if I wanted to inflict pain and torture myself in the name of developing character and building friendships with poor souls in the same situation, I would go back to Monk training. Wait! @Urgan suggested as her kind of cardio! Thinking about it even more, I might do better in Little John's class for a host of reasons. I also took a trip to the library, searching for some insight on that little bit of ambiguity in the order of operations (implicit multiplication) and the search came up empty. In the mean time, posting a question like what is 6/2(2+1) is an excellent troll post and you get treated to a show as two people will fight each other to the death over it. It is very similar to playing a board game and suddenly a big argument and mortal struggle erupt over something in the rules and what exactly the rules say and what exactly the rules mean.

Sam Ashen Posted August 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Sam Ashen Summer Swole Program, Day 25 of 30: Today marks ten consecutive training days. Tomorrow and Saturday I have friends in town and therefore they are rest days. Sunday I will finish off the Accessories I did not get done during the week. I am getting my amusement park fix for the year! Snatch High Pull + Snatch: 4 at 94, 2 at 114, 2 at 134, and 1 each at 144, 154, and 164 pounds - and I had an..... incident.... Clean, Front-Squat, Jerk: 2 at 134, 2 at 164, and 1 each at 184, 204, 214, 224 pounds - the 224 pounds took two tries to get. Squats: 3x184, 3x224, 3x274, 3x289, 3x3x264 pounds We are sharing a spot in the Temple of CounterFit and my last snatch rep coincided to a long and detailed explanation of the next part of their workout. So I held the weight overhead waiting for her to finish, but the explanation kept going on and on. (We are talking about two exercises: Bulgarian Split Squats and those push-ups on those bars.) Finally Miss Broki yelled at me to put the weight down, along with what the heck I was doing, so I dropped the weight down and it hit the ground with loud clangs. The explanation was still going. So the lecture I got was she would never have me hold the weight overhead like that and that is how one gets injured. So...... I should have done a triple overhead squat? (Or maybe ten reps with the length of the explanation.) Then I realized just before I started the rep, she was trying to tell me to either control the weight on the way down, or wait. Something is funny with the communication this week. It should have been fairly obvious if she was trying to tell me something important that I did not understand the message at all. I have not figured out what.

Sam Ashen Posted August 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Sam Ashen Summer Swole Program, End of Week 5: My guests arrived Friday morning and Friday night. We ate at Chili's. Hindsight says I should have had the fried cauliflower, because I get nagged about needing more veggies in my diet. Saturday was all day at Valley Fair for my annual amusement park fix. It was crowded during the day, of course, but we managed to get our pick of the feature rides well enough, but not all of them. That would be very challenging, logistically. Ditch the younger kid and leave her with Mom and Auntie for the water park and kiddie land and reconnect later. We managed to get the 6yo on the smallest woodcoaster. Later that evening I got dragged from kiddie ride to kiddie ride and that must have been a very amusing sight, given the number of pictures and videos they took. It's the small things, right? Sunday morning they were gone, freeing up the rest of the day to recover and finish off the week's accessories. Leg Press: 10 x 2 plates, 3 plates, 4 plates, 4 x 10 x 5 plates Farmers Carry: 4 x 80 paces x 70 pound dumbbells - The last two sets I had to rest a bit. Weighted push-ups: 4 x 15 x 10 pound technique plate Funky Hip Exercise I had been doing wrong all along: 3 x 6 whatever that means Superman: 4 x 15, superset with Stability Ball Cobra: 4 x 15 x 3 pound dumbbells Shopping got done.
