A cool classic challenge!

Question for the mathematicians and non-mathematicians:

-
Is it possible that the expression (1x+3x+5x) is not equal to 18 if x=2 ?

[Alexey Subbotin]

Richie >>:

Вопрос на засыпку, математикам и нет:

-
Возможно ли, чтобы выражение (1х+3х+5х) было не равно 18, если x=2 ?

Richie, ganjubas?

Richie, ganja?

No, I'm not stoned, it's really possible. But how?

(12+32+52)=96

Cool problem!

[richie]

Itso, that's what multiplication means: (1*x+3*x+5*x). Keep thinking.

[Олег]

Hm, the brackets are there for a reason...

Richie >>:

Itso, имеется ввиду имменно умножение: (1*х+3*х+5*х). Думайте дальше.

double x=2;
if(1* х+3* х+5* х !=18) Print("True");
else Print("False");
