What is 2+2x2?

This is a survey to see what answers people come up with. In my school, the majority came up with two different answers. I want to see if the same thing happens here. I'm trying to find out what answer will come up the most. Thanks for your time!

We recently saw a remote controlled car in a shop which had instructions in English on the side. (The car wasmanufactured abroad) It advised the user 'please not to drive car on crapet or other soft underneath, as the fiction may cause lack of speeding and the final stopping with no more driving eventually!' My husband had to practically carry me out of the shop, I was laughing so much. Has anyone any similar examples of brave but uninentionally amusing attempts to communicate in our so difficult language?

The theory behind representative government is that superior men--or at all events, men not inferior to the average in ability and integrity--are chosen to manage the public business, and that they carry on this work with reasonable intelligence and honesty. There is little support for that theory in the known facts...

I just wanted to know if an 89 average (about 3.5-3.6 gpa), 1800 on SATs (reading, math, and writing combined), and a bit of volunteer experience can get me admission to SUNY Binghamton. How about Cornell? I plan on applying early to Cornell if my grades are high enough, and if not, then Binghamton. All suggestions and comments are welcome. Thanks!

I work full-time as an office manager but really need to get back into school! I've tried working part-time and going to school, but it's so expensive to live here that I couldn't afford to pay my rent! I really work better by myself, as I went through high school in independent study. Does anybody know of a school that does online only classes where I can get my education in San Luis Obispo County?

I work in financial services and I meet people all the time who have no clue as to how to manage money. Some people don't even know the BASICS. Am I alone in feeling this should be taught in all schools?

I have to prove something in my WWI essay, but I'm having trouble with it. The question is:

Why did Germany claim they were fighting a defensive war, as stated by the German Delegation in response to the Versailles Treaty?

I have a 4.1 GPA, but my rank is low because my school is extremely competitive (it takes a 4.4 average to get into the top 10%). I live in Texas if that helps.

I have taken 9 AP classes, and I got a 1900 on my SAT.

My extracurriclars are as follows:

-Debate Team- This is what I spend most of my time in.
I qualified for, and participated in, the state tournament for 3 years and was captain of Lincoln Douglas Debate as well as Webmaster and Secretary of the team. I have won 1st place in 4 tournaments and 2nd in 2 tournaments and 3rd in 3 tournaments.


-Orchastra (3rd best orchastra in the state, although I only participated in the program for 2 years)

-Model U.N

-WorldQuest

I need a realistic view of my chances please!!
