But that's what you use if you haven't sold your soul to Adobe.

You build stuff like a 3d model from corner points and curves then fill them with a color or pattern.

Yeah, that sounds like a lot of work, at least more than I'm willing to pour my time into. LOL. Oh well, guess I won't be contributing to the decals then. Haha

Actually, it's pretty easy. Think of it as a magic wand selection tool that converts the shape to a bunch of mathematical expressions to describe the line it creates.

TIL, or remembered, I shouldn't wash a fuzzy blanket with my other clothes. I have burned through 3 travel size lint rollers and will have to start resorting to tape.

Just run them through the dryer again with a damp towel instead of your wubby.

As originally listed by @gen3v8 the answer should be 120, unless something has changed about precedence in math I'm not aware of.

I always was taught that grouping for operators is

exponentiation and root extraction
multiplication and division
addition and subtraction

Therefore "230 - 220 * .5" is actually "230 - (220 * 0.5)" which equals 120.

What am I missing?

EDIT: Turns out I am missing something. Read on if you want to find out!
