43 today. Some quite tough questions this time! The bonus answer is Neptune, who was the Roman equivalent of the Greek Poseidon. In the arithmetic problem, do the bit in brackets first, so the calculation becomes 8/2x4 Multiplication and division have equal priority and so are performed in the order in which they occur. 8/2x4 therefore becomes 4x4 = 16. This the ONLY correct solution!! Trust me - I taught high school mathematics as a career!

"You might alter your will," loved that! Bonus question, Neptune. Also, both fables and parables have moral or spiritual lessons. Fables use animals and parables use humans in the stories. I love the literature section. The science always does me in.

Neptune is the bonus answer. A good quiz as always, Sean.

Mr Sean, this edition's questions are quite tough. Bravo! You're always a step ahead of your subscribers and viewers. Thank you very much Mr Sean.

Great questions. Always enjoy your quizzing.

Kicked my butt!

Nice one, enjoyed that.

There's only 1 answer 8/2x4 = 4x4=16. Must do the brackets first, then times or divided by from left to right

37/50 bonuses 1 and Neptune, great quiz thanks very much 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Hi Sean . I recently discovered your channel . Some good challenging quizzes . Have subscribed . Keep up the good work , Buddy .

Ferdinand Magellan did not circumnavigate the globe.. some of his crew did.

Heiio Sean. This 77 year old thanks you for helping me excercise that very important muscle. Brilliant quizzes, I look forward to them every day. Bonus answer Poseidon. Subscribed.

Got 37 right, but didn't know the answer to the bonus question. hAD TO LOOK IT UP. Had great fun, thanks Sean.

Currie cup of brilliance yayyyyy 🏆 Must be all the years of my husband sharing his general knowledge fun facts 😅 Love your quizzes!

Much better today! 42/50...just squeezed back into Einstein! Regular bonus is Neptune. Math equation is 1. The way I learned it: inside the parenthesis first, so 2 plus 2=4, then multiplication, 2 times 4=8, and finally division, so 8 divided by 8=1. I don't see how the rules would've changed for new math. I'm curious why/how there could be a different answer. ???

40. Aced all the science questions only got one right in literature, and the other misses were scattered across the other categories. During the into, when I saw "Jacked up" with the photo, I thought section 2 was going to be about body building, not people named "Jack" clever.

#5. We had lead pencils in grade school. I’m 62 years old.

Tough one, Sean, but although I only scored 34, it was still an excellent, well-rounded quiz. Thanks!

Yet another shining example of my ability to guess the wrong answer 75% of the time when I have narrowed the answer down to 2 choices!

Gosh, this round was really difficult, just 36/50 for me, thanks again Sean for a very enjoyable journey.

45/50 Bonus - Neptune. I love your quizzes but there are some answers I take exception with.😊

39/50 and the bonus question is UNQUESTIONABLE: 1 as I guess I learned today that I was brought up with classical or old mathematics...when there seems to be a NEW way of calculating numbers.....well in the NEW way I guess the answer would be 16 ? anyway it just proves how creative even those disciplines are..that used to be regarded as rather reliable... So I learned again..the only constant in the universe...is CHANGE ;)

Answer - Neptune. Hard quiz sean. Thank you

Excellent quiz today, Sean! I improved over last quiz - 37/50 this time. 1st Bonus question answer: I was taught to solve inside the parentheses first, so my answer is 1; 2nd Bonus question answer is Neptune is the Roman god of the sea. Thank-you so much for all your work putting together these quizzes, I really appreciate your efforts!❤Happy Father's Day, Sean!

Usually Einstein but this time Hawking!

BODMAS gives1. Neptune.

43/50: Neptune. Good grief! This was a tough one!

On Round 77 of the Ultimate Trivia Quiz, I scored 49/50, admittedly, I had a few guesses. I only missed #27 (surprisingly, as you said). The bonus is Neptune. I almost got my Neptune confused with my Poseidon but remembered that planets are named for the Roman gods. *whew*😆 Now, for that maths bonus question... Using the traditional PEMDAS order of operations, I was taught multiplication THEN division. The answer is "1". Newer math seems to make multiplication and division equal, so you do them as encountered from left to right. This method gives an answer of "16". So, which is correct? I suppose it depends on your math teacher!. Thanks for this excellent quiz.

14/50

Great quiz. I'm guessing, is it Neptune? I came up with 16 for the math challenge. Not my strong point. Thanks for nice challenge thise morning.😊

Uranus

41, I was surprised about: oxygen (65 percent), carbon (18.5 percent), Neptune, bonus question.

36/50 and Neptune for bonus, thanks Sean.😃

S--t! I missed 5, the most ever on one of your quizzes. Maybe it was the red vino I am drinking.

Neptune. Got 43, good questions again!

Nice Quiz. Question 8 can't be right though, unless you meant of the 3 element presented, which one is more abundant. The human body is mostly water and there are twice as many hydrogen atoms as oxygen atoms in water, so there is no way oxygen can be the most abundant element. So just in the water part there is enough hydrogen atoms to account for about half of the total atoms in your body, so it's just not possible for there to be more oxygen. Unless you mean by total weight, since oxygen is 8 times heavier than hydrogen. The math bonus question's answer is 16. The whole pemdas vs bodmas thing is wrong, they are the same. Also there's no old way vs new way. The common mistake is to think that the multiplication outside the parentheses has anything to do with solving inside the parentheses first. The other common mistake is that there is a preference of multiplication above division. They have equal preference and has to be solved from left to right. So the answer of 1 isn't "also correct".

I admire your skill in providing such an interesting variety of questions. But.... Question 2 is problematic. None of the answer options are cells. A chloroplast is part of a cell - a cell organelle to be precise. Even though I am being so picky, this is one of the worst results I had. 42/49. The Jacked-up section was my undoing.

30/50 Poseidon

I got "Graphite". However, it is also called "lead".

When you solve the brackets first, you get 8/2x4, division and multiplication are equal, so 8/2=4, 4x4=16

Only 38/50 today. I learned a lot of vocabulary I didn't know I lacked. I didn't think there was a difference between classical and modern math. The order of priority is parenthesis, multiplication and divisions, and addition and subtraction in that order, therefore the answer to your equation is 16. The other bonus is Neptune.

Can’t get out of the “Fleming” category at the moment!

38/50 A great challenging quiz. Tyfs. 👍😁✌️ Bonus: Neptune. The equation at the beginning.... well, let's just say maths are not my cup O tea. 😂 Have a nice week ahead, everybody.

the answer is actually 16 not 1 it is because of MDAS, multiplication and division have the same precedence so as addition and subtraction therefore you should calculate first on what's on the left side, so in that case after it becomes 8÷2×4 it transforms into 4×4=16. Even if you input this equation 8÷2(2x2) in any type of calculator the answer is always 16. Thank me later!😅

I got 16(the right answer) then created a prompt to ask ChatGPT for clarification and got this answer “Hello, this is Copilot. I am happy to help you with math problems. 😊 The viral math problem 8/2(2+2) has caused a lot of debate on the internet because it can be interpreted in different ways depending on the order of operations. The order of operations is a set of rules that tells us which calculations to do first in an expression. There are two main methods of order of operations: PEMDAS and BODMAS. PEMDAS stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication-Division, Addition-Subtraction. BODMAS stands for Brackets, Orders, Division-Multiplication, Addition-Subtraction. Both methods agree that we should simplify the parentheses or brackets first, so we get 8/2(4). The difference comes in the next step. According to PEMDAS, we should do division and multiplication from left to right, so we get 8/2(4) = 4(4) = 16. According to BODMAS, we should do division and multiplication in the order they appear, so we get 8/2(4) = 8/8 = 1. The correct answer according to the modern interpretation of the order of operations is 1612. This is how most calculators, programming languages, and textbooks would evaluate the expression. However, some people may argue that the expression is ambiguous and can have two different answers, 16 or 13. This is because historically, the division symbol ÷ was used to imply parentheses around the denominator, so 8÷2(4) would mean 8÷(2(4)) = 1. To avoid confusion, it is better to use parentheses or fractions to make the expression clear. I hope this helps you understand the viral math problem and the order of operations. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me. 😊”

great quiz, am subscribed so do not miss any. neptune

If you use equations as I was taught in algebra, you solve whatever is in the parentheses first, then whatever is modifying them, so 2+2=4×2=8 and8÷8=1. Easy. And Neptune is the bonus answer.

46/50 and Neptune. NEXT!

Poseidon is the God of seas

Hard one for me today. 34/50. Fleming. Poseidon for the bonus. 😏

Poseidon

16 for the bonus question (I took a of Math in college) This was a particularly hard quiz for me I did miss 5/50 Questions - Fyi on question 21 what is the smallest country in the world - it's Vatican City not the other you mentioned! fyi... so I gave myself a credit for that one! Anyway you have an exciting day! 🤔

16 (BODMAS) (and or 1 if you use order of operation (addition then multiplication)).

I came up with 16 and Neptune. I see a lot of 1’s and 16s for the math answer. I’m not sure…. Thank you for the challenging fun quiz!

16 is my answer to the math question

All Things Science 8/10 ... I didn't get Foramen Magnum .. or CAT !! Jacked Up 10/10 Mixed Trivia 9/10 ... I didn't get John Hancock Picture Trivia 9/10 ... I didn't get Agraffe Literature 9/10 ... I didn't get Rhonda Byrne TOTAL 45/50 BONUS The Roman God is Neptune .. and the Greek God is Poseidon.

Answer for math puzzle is 16. First Bracket then division then multiplication that's the order to follow

About the initial bonus question: first, you are stuck with what your calculator does in that situation, and they don't all do the same thing. Second: context, please! I want to know what one is trying to calculate. I want to be able to write r = C/2π and be understood, when C is circumference and r is radius. I also want to be able to write E = 1/2 mv² for kinetic energy, and be understood. In the latter case, I could write E = ¹/₂mv², E = ½mv², or E = mv²/2. But I still want to be understood. So let's just throw out these kinds of questions.

Please give the answer to final Q

This one was hard. 5/10 7/10 10/10 5/10 5/10 Poseidon? Stay safe over there in South Africa.

Neptune is the Roman god of the sea

Oceanus otherwise depicted as ophiuchus the one who transcends time and space the serpent barrier he is the godhead because he is in control of all 88 constellations otherwise known as the serpent.

I find it funny they all got them right but none got the bonus. As posidon is God of the seas, like the red , Caspian, or black but his uncle oceanus is the brother of Saturn cronos as it states in Mesopotamia enlil zues and his uncle oceanus this is why everyone is misunderstanding posidons roll in the mythology. Like when they think zues was the top dog but was not oceanus is the godhead and controls all the aspects of contiousness. Just so you know.

6 wrong Neptune

16 is the answer to the math question. IMHO
