Granny's gone and done it again

Ah, that explains a lot. I like things to make sense. Away with randomness!

Exactly!! That’s what I love about biology. Everything makes sense…in a logical way. Maybe that’s why it’s biological science.

My psych teacher in college gave a class of 60 this math problem. I was 40 something years old at the time, the oldest in the class. I was the only one to get it right. ..

Here's a math problem for you, Cherry.
Divide 30 by one-half and add 7.
What's your answer?

Is this a trick question??

67?

My thinking is that 30/(1/2) should be 60…technically. The wording is pretty weird tho

67 is correct, sorry Granny. Good night!

30 ÷ 1/2 =
30 x 2/1 remember to invert and multiply! =
30 x2 =
60
+ 7 = 67.

The wording is designed to throw you off! It's not "Divide 30 IN half," but divide BY one-half.
