A lot of it is how they changed the way a problem is written out.

Couldn't that also be expressed as

6
___________

2(1+2)


Changing it to fit on one line changes the answer.

Ok no I see where the problem is. Those are 2 different equations.


6
_ (1+2)
2


would be the correct way to write it the old way.

Viral?

The correct answer to that problem is 9. Most people get it wrong.

The answer to the second way written with a divisor should be 1

Short people got no reason to live.

Yes but you wrote a different equation. 6 should only be over the 2 not over all of it.

Never mind my bad. Multiplication and division are on equal standing so you go left to right after the parentheses

Who ever invented the New Math must have been one sadistic SOB. I still go by the old stuff. 2+2= 4

I wonder if Ricky’s going? Lol.

He would need someone else to pay for his trip. It is not fair for him to pay his own way.

Probably an engineer trying to justify his job like the engineers at FedEx and UPS.
