Going that far though shouldn't one assume that the actual size of the light bulbs plays in if your going to look at every single difference?

Interesting, 333 was correct last week on Facebook, I guess those thousands of folks missed the threads too. Funny that they said I won their contest.

Okay...I got all the values correct, but added 9+9=18, and multiplied 18X44=792.  And I did another of these a while back on Facebook, and the answer depended upon doing that final equation in order of the digits, as I did this time.  So I'm calling foul.  Unless you put the brackets around the calculator and lightbulbs, as Gavin did to get the "correct" answer, there really IS no correct answer, but some guy on Facebook when I did the last one quoted some math text that said you are supposed to do the calculations in order.  So I'm saying I was right!

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally! Order of operations. Parenthese, Exponents, Multiply & Divide, Add & Subtract. Multiplication & division comes before addition & subtraction. Does not matter if the parentheses are there or not. You multiply & divide first, then add, & subtract. PEMDAS. Pretty good observations if you got all the values right. Have never known an artist, attorney, or doc that was good at math! Close but no cigar...Think FW was the only one to hit legit. Quillback said he checked the interwebs and consulted with the deep state behind the scenes😃!
