Does anyone know the method(s) used by those quiz show programmes that ask you to "add the numbers"? Usually it is something on screen like "seven plus twelve time nine miuns eight", then under the box is "Add all the numbers". They seem to defy conventional maths, but people still seem to win. Any suggestions please??

This has been bothering me as well. I think its a plot to take the minds of the people who stay up late at night and twist them into brainless zombies who keep on trying to phone a silly quiz. They want to win £50 but end up spending three times that and are pleased they got through.

(7+12) X (9-8)
(7+12X9)-8
(7) + 12 X (9-8)
etc etc etc. If asked I'd go with the first one. I watched one of these for about 10 minutes yeasterday and was astounded to see people paying a quid to look like fools unable to answer a simple problem
