"Well, Reggie got 1 in 1 in 3, and 25 is 6 to 4."
Is the left-wing really pinko? Colonel Sanders, what a bore!

I did that to verify.
I see it this way:
24 x 12 = 288

In cases where a power is applied to the contents enclosed in a parenthesis, the contents of the parenthesis is evaluated prior to the power. I suppose its still PPMDAS either way. Of course all this logic breaks if you are multiplying anything by multi term polynomials enclosed in parenthesis as you have to first apply the multiplication to resolve the polynomial within the parenthesis.

If that makes any sense. I wasn't a math major.

I learned you keep going inside the parentheses until there are no more. Then you start at Excuse.

When it comes to math, I'm all about the excuses.

How I learned Order of Operations last year at Perry Tech:

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally

Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction

9+3 = 12 x 2 = 24 divided by 48 = 2

I'm sure more raunchy and entertaining acronyms could be developed.

If I plug it in to my TI-84 Plus Gold Plated Expansion Pack Edition I get 288.
