- I was not educated in America. Why would you even assume that
- What I said is mathematically correct (even though it's different from programmatic math)

You can refer to a scientific calculator.
Google will use the programmatic definition (which is not incorrect by any means) but there's ambiguity in this expression. And the mathematical definition should definitely be treated as being the correct one in case of an ambiguity
Any real mathematician wouldn't write a stupid expression like this anyways
That is so true and is literally the main reason for the entire argument. It's not a mathematical expression if it's ambiguous and there's multiple ways to interpret it.
However the fact that people now consider 9 as the accepted answer is surprising to me but it's probably because people are more concerned with the programming aspect of mathematics than the scientific.
Math in computer programming has different conventions than academic math.
I do see your point and if you're speaking in terms of computer programming then yes multiplication and division operations are evaluated serially.
But every math textbook I have used would treat a coefficient different than a multiplier.
It's a popular argument people get into all the time about how you treat the expression a÷bc. Is it (a÷b)×c or is it a÷(bc)
And the answer is that the expression is just poorly written since it is not presented in an unambiguous way. So if you're a computer programmer I can understand why you'd think 9 but from a strictly mathematical point of view it's 1
The expression is 6÷2(1+2) and not 6÷2×(1+2)
Yes that × operation makes a huge difference. If the expression were written as the latter one, it would evaluate to 9. But since there is no × between them, it makes the 2 a coefficient of the bracket, and not simply a multiplier. And coefficients are evaluated first.
For example consider the expression "10a ÷ 5b" with a and b being unspecified constants. In such a case you will perform the 5×b operation before the division because it is a coefficient. This expression is (10×a)÷(5×b) and CANNOT be evaluated as (10×a÷5)×b

Yes the question is meant to start a war that's for sure. Regardless, there's only 1 correct answer
Yes I know what PEDMAS is. The answer is still 1 (read the expression a bit more carefully)
Again, let me know if you want me to explain it
Blud it's a mathematical expression how can it have multiple answers. There is only one correct value of the expression (like every other expression) and it's 1
No I mean 1
Let me know if you want me to explain it
1
edit : To be more clear so as to not create more confusion. The answer is that the expression by itself is simply an incorrect expression since it is ambiguous in interpretation. So for a computer programmer it is ok to say 9 bcoz in programmatic math, division and multiplication are evaluated serially
Masters and Champions both mickey mouse
Redbull Homeground is the real shit 😤
No he didn't lol. He only had 1 bad series against PRX.
NRG wouldn't even be at Masters without crashies (and sam) putting the team on their backs
Putting crashies as a fraud is a crime
He has carried them every step of the way
Fan since reykjavik = bandwagon
~ "NRG fan" (Gold2 cocksucker)
Sentinels is 100T's first body on their way to a deep champs run.
There fixed it
Don't worry 100T is NA's last hope they will save NA
So many MVPs and always high impact in-game. I can't name a single other player outside of Fnatic who can do all that while not playing a single duelist
I think Giants could do great if they get their shit together. They have insane individuals
And NAVI obviously
Vouch for Cloud. Easily a top 5 initiators in my books
He learnt from the best 🗿

Frfr NRG getting nowhere unless Ardiis becomes a consistent entry + OPer
oh shit mbmb didn't see the 5

Boaster's right there in the top 10 what do you mean 4/5 ?
Chet is peak alpha male performance. Stay mad
Saving strats for champions. Didn't want to give away stuff therefore avoided Masters 🗿
The flair is going away soon but I enjoyed it so much
100T win champions not even kidding 💀
I don't care where they host these events but I want RIOT to pay for and fly out 1000 Japanese fans to every single event moving forward
NAVI fucked up anyways might as well have played Yoru for the memes
I would like to take a moment to appreciate my bois C0M and ethan
None of this would have been possible without their megabrains
Best run I have ever witnessed
Clowned so hard before the season. From that to 2nd place itw o7
^^ to anyone who says LOCK//IN wasn't a major
Deep down I was hoping for EG to close out Bind so we could watch Leo sova and Derke Jett
certainly not for KEKWzera 🗿
Asuna >>>> KEKWzera
for some reason I have developed a hatred for DRX
Those mfs have been playing together for 2 years now but they have always been stuck below 4th position
But yes a PRX win would be amazing
Most lovable goof
Posts tiktoks a day before grand finals and then wins 😭
nah haters will still find an excuse to discredit them
But we all know who the real goats are
