Is BoB being dumbed down these days or am I just getting a lot cleverer?
I'm amazed how many of the questions I can answer (correctly!) these days.
Russell Davies just gave an answer which was a little different to what
I was taught, though. He "translated" the mathematical acronymn BODMAS
(or BIDMAS, which I hadn't heard before) as Brackets, Order (or
Indices), Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction. I was taught
Brackets, Of, Divide, etc. I don't think we'd learned about indices
before we were taught BODMAS, but what does "Order" mean?
