Hi, I made up a game of guessing the chess piece people are thinking of. How to play: write a math equation, the answer should be the value of a piece, then you guess the piece based on what you got.

If you do the operator in the wrong order you get 5 meaning you are thinking about the rook. Calculators, and most websites, will give the wrong answer.

PEMDAS (Order of Operations) say do the multiply and divide first, left to right.

9+3x5-12/6-3 becomes 

9+15-2-3 Then do add and subtract gives

24-2-3 is 19 and there is no piece worth 19 points.

 

Enjoy.

Before posting math puzzles, please learn math and the value of chess pieces. Nothing is worth 19 points.
