Back to the OP, I just got 7 after wine and beer (which mentally makes me 11 again).

oh, Dizzy, it's not "bankers know how to count", it's "bankers are c......" sorry, we're U rated here aren't we.

45 think 5, only 38 think 7

It's 7.

BODMAS isn't an excuse, it's here to help solve ambiguity just like this.

It's because of this that programmers bracket the hell out of everything to make it clear.

So, the latest one doing the rounds on Facebook is:

1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 -1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 x 0 = 0, 14, 16 or 17?

14, unless the minus is supposed to be plus, in which case it'd be 16

15?
