    What I meant was is that it should have either been written as (48)/[(2)(9+3)]=2, or (48)/(2)(9*3)=288. The way original problem was written doesn't make sense. It's like making a sentence out of a bunch of random words.

    It makes perfect sense to me how it is written. I don't like when there is a gratuitous amount of parenthesis

    The 2 in front of the parentheses implies multiplication, so the only way it really needs to be re-written is 48÷2*(9+3). Going through PEMDAS, this equals 48÷2*12 = 24*12 (since multiplication and division are performed left to right) = 288.

    4100? That seems too easy to be the answer.

    Easily got 4100 but I can see how some people would mess up and get 5000 if they were doing it too fast or without thinking too much about it.

    Same.

    As it's all addition, I would never actually follow that order...my brain always scans the whole lot of numbers.

    So add together the four 1000's, and then add together the smaller numbers. If possible, always adding together numbers to make 10 such as 8 and 2.

    Regrouping is always easiest but that's not what this is asking you to do. You are suppose to do it in order as it's given to you

    the difference is between the word add and again. if there is no difference between those words then it is 4100. But i assume with all mind fuck puzzles the answer is in the trick which is that they only say add like two times..

    Again has no mathematical operation equivalent (like plus means add, of means multiply, etc.) so it means just repeat addition. The wording isn't the trick, the trick is to catch people fucking up going from 4090 to 5000 because they miscarry the one the last time they add 10.
