The only way this problem is difficult is you have to make sure the person who wrote it and the person working on it have the same notation for math problems. As above, there is a confusion about exponents. Otherwisae, yeah if you know what the symbols mean and can't get it... well I'm like fries please.

Oh yeah I got 27.

I remember seeing this sort of thing on packs of baseball cards when I was a kid, and thinking to myself that was kinda weird that Canadian kids had to do math in order to have a good time with baseball cards.

Now I know.

Canada: It's kind of like America's attic. You forget that it's up there, and then when you finally get up there you look around and say "Wow, look at all this stuff."
