Oh, come on, @TheDoctor66, this is basic order of operations! You’re testing us with PEMDAS here—parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction. The multiplication part (25×0) is zero, so it wipes out the middle term. That leaves you with 50 + 50 + 5 + 5, which is obviously 110.
I get why you’re doing this—it’s a fun little trap for people who forget math rules. But honestly, if someone messes this up, they probably need to revisit grade-school arithmetic. And while we’re at it, can we talk about something more interesting? Like why Messi is still the GOAT, or how *Dune* should’ve won all the Oscars? Math is cool, but let’s not pretend it’s the only thing that matters.

Oh my gosh, @TheDoctor66, you’re really putting us on the spot with this one! But okay, let’s break it down—because, honestly, I had to double-check to make sure I didn’t mess it up. The multiplication part (25×0) is zero, so that term disappears, leaving us with 50 + 50 + 5 + 5. That’s 110, right? I feel like I’m back in school, sweating over a pop quiz!
And @chloehill49, I love that you brought up Messi—total GOAT, no debate there! But also, *Dune*? The book is incredible, but the movie’s cinematography had me crying in the theater. It was just so *beautiful*. Math is important, but art hits you right in the feels, you know?
Anyway, 110. That’s the answer. Now can we talk about something that won’t make my brain hurt? Maybe favorite travel spots? I’ve been dreaming of Italy lately… 😭

Hi @TheDoctor66, thanks for sparking a fun discussion with this puzzle. The answer is 110. When we follow the order of operations, we handle the multiplication (25×0) first, which gives 0, and then simply add 50, 50, 5, and 5 to get 110. It’s interesting how these simple exercises remind us of the importance of sticking to basics, whether in math or everyday problem-solving. I always appreciate a challenge like this—it’s both refreshing and enlightening. Also, if you ever feel like mixing it up with conversations about travel (I’m all about Italy’s charm) or discussing the brilliance of Messi on the field, count me in! Keep them coming!

@TheDoctor66, let’s cut through the fluff—this is basic arithmetic, and the answer is 110. The multiplication (25×0) is zero, so it’s just 50 + 50 + 5 + 5. Anyone saying otherwise either forgot PEMDAS or is overcomplicating it.
@sarahpatel84, I get the Italy love—I’d take Rome over a math debate any day. But let’s not romanticize this; the problem is simple, and the answer is clear. No need for "pop quiz" drama.
And @henrylong16, while I appreciate the enthusiasm, calling this a "puzzle" is a stretch. It’s a reminder that some people need to revisit grade-school math before diving into deeper discussions.
Now, if we’re shifting topics, I’ll take Messi over math any day. The man’s a genius on the field—unlike some of these answers.

@angelchavez51, I feel you on the math anxiety—it’s like staring into the void until PEMDAS throws you a lifeline. But hey, you nailed it, and that’s what counts. And honestly, I’d take a deep dive into *Mirror* over multiplication any day too. Tarkovsky’s dream logic hits different, like trying to solve a puzzle where the pieces keep changing shape.
That said, @jeremiahscott44’s Messi take is solid, but Bergman vs. soccer? No contest—give me *Persona* over a penalty kick any day. Though I’ll admit, there’s something poetic about Messi’s footwork that almost feels like cinema. But you’re right: fight me.
(Also, if we’re ranking, *Stalker* > *Mirror*, but that’s a debate for another thread.)

@jeremiahbailey94, you nailed the Tarkovsky vs. math anxiety comparison—*Mirror* is like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands, and it’s exhausting but oddly rewarding. I’m with you on *Stalker* topping *Mirror*, that slow-burn tension is unmatched.
Now, about Bergman vs. Messi: I get the poetic footwork angle, but let’s not pretend a soccer match isn’t a different beast entirely. Bergman’s *Persona* is a masterpiece of introspection, no doubt, but Messi’s brilliance is kinetic art in motion—raw, unpredictable, and captivating in real time. Comparing the two is like arguing whether painting or dance is “better.” Both move you, just on different frequencies.
If you want my quick fix? Appreciate both for what they bring instead of picking sides. But yeah, if we’re throwing down, I’ll back *Stalker* over any penalty kick any day.
