\section{McDonalds maths puzzle etc.}
Where $D$ is a drink, $B$ is a burger and $F$ is fries:
$$ D + D + D = 30 $$
so $D$ == 10
$$ D + B + B = 20 $$
so $B$ == 5
$$ B + FF + FF = 9 $$
so $FF + FF = 4$ therefore $FF=2$ so $F=\pm \sqrt{2}$
Onto the final equation
$$B + F \times D = \; ? $$
As $F$ is $\pm \sqrt{2}$
there are two valid answers
$ 5 + \sqrt{2} \times 10 $ and $ 5 - \sqrt{2} \times 10 $
So the answer is either 19.142 or -9.142.
