How I was taught math there's no ambiguity and the answer is 3, but this might not be true for everyone. Math is made up. PEMDAS/BODMAS might be "made up," but it's still universally recognized as the correct way to work your way through calculations to arrive at an answer. If 99% say 300 and 1% say 3, chances are the 1% simply don't know how to use PEMDAS correctly. --- Politicians are the weeds of the galaxy. <cite>Paragon21XX posted [p:974685884] in Viral Math...
