Long time since I did my BODMAS but why isnt the answer 12?

How do you decide which divide to operate first?

Did I hear somewhere that the Mayan calendar runs out today?
Is this the end of the world?

It's just a marketing strategy to get you to buy the new Mayan calendar :lol:

Why does everyone discount the "20" ?
Shirley if we are allowed to discount sections just to fit a pattern then we can engineer all sorts of significant dates/times?

I didn't notice at 12:12 but I was mostly sitting in Wetherspoons drinking wine around that time.

Did the world end earlier then?

No wonder I ended up getting the bus home.

I think the world must have ended about lunchtime today. It was too frosty to go out on the bike.

Ditto today. It may be reading +2deg out there, but the car is still iced over, so no doubt the lanes still have black ice on them.

Not been out riding since Saturday.
On the rollers today, just done five miles and cooling off before another five.

By all accounts, the frost and ice will be gone tomorrow ................ to be replaced with wind and rain.
