ooh, come to think of it your teacher might be referring to order of precedence for calculating algebra expressions. You might get the "correct" answer from him if you enforce your concept by expressing it something like (230 - 220) x 0.5, for this the answer is 5. Your teacher may have been implying that multiplication is calculated before subtraction, so he might be reading it as 230 - (220 x 0.5). It might be worth it to ask him if this is what he was thinking.

Solution for those of us who are stumped most days.
Why do I read the CCC everyday but never have a clue about it?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

surrender = a + Prohibition + crime lord
surrender = a + ban + don
I posted the solution because I actually got this one! - just 5 hours too late  .
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Sorry Mark ( and others ) because the same group of people on here tend to solve most clues these days I often don't post the breakdown as they obviously know it , I didn't realise other people follow it

they got a machine for me (was working on a VM before that).
The PC has... drum roll.... 128Gb of RAM!
I dig that!

If that's the sort of system employees at [EmployerNameWithheld], is it any wonder that the requirements for [SoftwareProductFromEmployerNameWithheld] are through the roof?
On a more serious note...my first dedicated VM host had 32GB of RAM, which is the maximum its motherboard could handle. Next one (my current) maxes out at 64GB, and it didn't take long to convince myself that my next VM host will have to have 128.

ha! so you understand! ^_^

The part about VM hosts, or the part about employees getting ridiculously high-spec'ed machines resulting into bloated software?
The latter part rings particularly true to me; I remember reading some article decades ago written by someone who was complaining about Windows (and Microsoft software in general) getting bloated, and suggesting that employees should be forced to use old machines that barely meet stated system requirements for a month...and speculating that as a result you'd find a lot of their software suddenly going through some serious optimization.

Only 40GB so far!

I could load up all of my development tools, Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint), a bunch of Chrome tabs, and maybe a game or two and still not hit 20GB. The only thing I do not use is SQL Server, but that would not push that number much higher. So the 128GB I have on my desktop is mostly unused.
