A couple of people posted a mnemonic recently about the order of operation of arithmetic signs absent parentheses. Of course, being an old fool, I did not write them down and cannot remember them. Little help?
Mushrooms: Number of spots, Hands of bananas: Number of bananas.
3 10-spotted mushrooms equal 30 –> 1 10spotter equals 10 –> 1 sheep equals 5 –> 1 bunch of 4 bananas equals 4
Assuming the missing door is a glitch (I do hope so): 9 spots times 3 bananas plus 1 sheep equal 27 plus 5 equal 32
wasn’t that the one where Goldie and Chevy had a madcap ride driving a cab with a pair of older,Asian folks in the back seat having a grand time?
I think a Catholic big shot Cardinal was implicated in the crime….
and there was an albino hitman …..
no?

Mushroom are M
Sheep are S
Bananas are B
M + M + M = 30 ∴ M = 10
10 + S + S = 20 ∴ S = 5
B + B + 5 = 13 ∴ B = 4
M × B + S = ?
10 × 4+ 5 = 45

Mushrooms: Number of spots, Hands of bananas: Number of bananas.
3 10-spotted mushrooms equal 30 –> 1 10spotter equals 10 –> 1 sheep equals 5 –> 1 bunch of 4 bananas equals 4
Assuming the missing door is a glitch (I do hope so):
9 spots times 3 bananas plus 1 sheep equal 27 plus 5 equal 32
I knew there’d be a catch!
There is a tripwire here with the Bananas and the Mushrooms.
A Sheep is worth 5:
The Hand of Bananas is worth 4:
BUT:
The Mushroom in the fourth row only has 9 spots, so the spots, not the Mushroom is counted:
There are 4 Bananas in each hand in the third row, and only 3 in the fourth row, so each Banana is worth 1.
So we get:
9 x 3 + 5 = ?
Using PEMDAS to Solve:
(9 x 3) + 5 = ?
9 x 3 = 27 + 5 = 32

I’d hate to have seen the more complicated version…

When they said they wanted to catch a dog thief on camera, was it this they had on their minds?
They had a problem; they solved it.
