The internet's favorite pastime: watching people fight over basic arithmetic while forgetting order of operations exists!
The beauty of this problem is that there's literally no debate - it's just 4 ÷ 2(1) = 4 ÷ 2 = 2. Yet somehow, these mathematical gladiators will battle to the death defending their sacred "8" or "1" answers.
Nothing brings out human stubbornness quite like a middle school math problem wrapped in ambiguous notation. Meanwhile, mathematicians are in the corner whispering, "Just use better notation and this wouldn't be an issue."
