Is it weird that that picture is somehow shocking to me? Like intellectually I know that asteroids are just rocks flying through space, but they always had some sort of "specialness" to them that this picture strips away. It really is just a rough hunk of whatever the fuck flying through space at mach jesus

My bad on typing 6 as the final number, typo.

I think the image is discussing the two ways most people interpret the (deliberately slightly obtuse) equation 6 / 2(1+2) Following BEDMAS BOMDAS PEMDAS or however you call it in your area as written, the correct interpretation is interpretation #2, which resolves to 9,

However many people also interpret the implitic multiplication in 2(1+2) to have higher priority, or makes the 2 and () into one unit, as if put into Parentheses, which leads to interpretation #1, which resolves to 1.

The real answer is to make the original question less obtuse, but any parsing algorithm correctly given the rules of mathematical notation would resolve it to 9

I'm not trying to start an argument over this, but I respectfully disagree.

6 / 2 * (1 + 2)

6 / 2 * 3

3 * 3

9 edit: accidentally said 6 here

Parentheses first, then division and multiplication granting priority to operations on the left.
