I'm pretty sure you'll need to rearrange your progression:
? - 4 + 5 = ? - 9
I think you want it to be ? + 5 - 4

Actually wait. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operationsOn the 'Mnemonics' section, there is an example: '10 − 3 + 2.' evaulates to 9 instead of 5. Its seen as 10 + (-3 + 2). PEMDAS, multiply/division have the same precedence, as does add/subtract. Just want to confirm with you, if this really is a mistake?

Okay i'll stick with this equation for now unless I am truly mistaken. Could confuse maybe others as well ;p

Trevor didn't rearrange his tiles This could be interesting....cause before the trade, he had 2 "addition" symbols.....he trades one with you, but doesn't sort out his tiles before the deadline. So where in the order will mas put the multiplication sign that you traded him ?

Er yeah, I think we should just honestly wait for Trevor to rearrange before posting guesses. I wasnt sure what position he was going to swap with multiply.

I;ve just noticed that, actually, it makes no difference because he as the number 1. So in effect, it doesn't matter where the multiplication sign goes, the result will be the same. The only way it would change the outcome is if the numbers were changed round

If i kept the 10 - 4 x 5, would it be easy for them to guess?

It was because you changed that I was able to guess your number...I assumed you would rather have 11 or 9 than 10.
It would be better if players had to guess without the need to rearrange the tiles, sometimes it gives a huge hint, especially if you have multiply. Also, if you make trades, it jhelps other players. This is how I was able to guess Trevor's number, also why I knew that he needed to rearrange his tiles but he missed the deadline
