Sorry BigP, but you're wrong.

I'll give a hint if the next person that attempts it is wrong.

Wait, nevermind my last post, BigP you're right!

After the first row, the next row describes the previous row and so on.

BigP: A=4
A=-4
Amirite?

-4*-4=16
4*4=16
16/16= 1

4-(-4)= 8


Unless You count A as -4 instead of (-4), in which case -4[squared]=-16, which ends up as -1 instead of just 1...

Moe's got my riddle.

Cool, I saw that riddle before and I just finally got it!

All right, let's try a new one.

If AABCD = 0 and BC = 1 and B/C = 4 and 2C - B = D, what is A?

Ima try to make up a new one.

A=0


Not if you use PEMDAS.

You have to go from left to right, so the other numbers would cancel out the negating effect 0 has, I believe.

Unless B, C, or D also equals 0.

Which I haven't determined yet.

Let's fix my problem up a little.
If AABCD = 0 and BC = 1 and B/C = 4 and D/A = 0, what is A?

A=0

Not if you use PEMDAS.


Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction

A still equals 0
