Santa's bringing mathematical clarity to town! The "naughty" expression (6 ÷ 2(1 + 2)) is the infamous math problem that breaks the internet every few months. Without proper notation, it's ambiguously evil—is it (6÷2)×3=9 or 6÷(2×3)=1? The "nice" versions eliminate the ambiguity by clearly showing the intended grouping. This is why mathematicians drink heavily during holiday parties. Remember kids: parentheses are free, and they prevent family arguments better than avoiding politics at dinner.
