How many sides does a pentagon have?

I put five.

Yeah, the numbers thing is a pain.
Unfortunately, to my knowledge there's nothing we can do without removing it entirely.
I'll experiment with it tomorrow morning, when nobody is likely to be registering.

Hmm.  I think I may have known how to do that at some point... (Referring to Cesium's post)

I can see how that question would have been misleading.  At least mine was obvious... 8 -3 + 3 = ?

That's awfully unfair to the colour blind. :(

Well, if only noncolorblind psychic people are not counted as bots, it's completely successful.

See, for me that shit is actually more potentially misleading, because it assumes you're going to apply the terms in a standard left to right order. Not 8 - (3 + 3), which is actually 2, not 8

Shut up. My mathematics exists on a plane that is extremely precise and complicated, so even simple maths confuses me unless it's laid out meticulously.

You Brits. You always overcomplicate everything.

... and have different words for everything. Everyone knows [ is a bracket and ( is a parenthesis.

I have to agree with Rosti on this one actually.

Maybe it's one of them things that are different for Canadians and the Brits. :P
