According to standard algebraic precedence of operation, division comes before addition, so the order should be:

48 - 20 + 4 = 32

Exactly. I did proper mathematics, not screwey mathematics.
Hey? does this mean I just got laid by an algorythm? I guess I failed 'standard algebraic precedence of operation' but I'm a master of the 'minimalist mathematics K.I.S.S. precedence forlulae.' Therefore I got the right answer, because I kept it simple and assumed the person that formed the formula was not a decendant of Einstein. (besides, the fact that the formula had no "()" to divide the equation in proper fashion, it was left open for interpretation. I'm a better intertreter than you fyron, but you are evidently way better than me when it comes to 'Real' math!

LOL Cheers!
