The expression “8 ÷ 2(2 + 2)” sparks debate due to ambiguous handling of implicit multiplication. • With PEMDAS/BODMAS: 8 ÷ 2 × 4 = 16 • With higher precedence for implicit: 8 ÷ 2(4) = 1 Use parentheses for clarity: • (8 ÷ 2)(2 + 2) = 16 • 8 ÷ (2(2 + 2)) = 1 https://mindyourdecisions.com/blog/2019/07/31/what-is-8-%c3%b7-22-2-the-correct-answer-explained/ https://plus.maths.org/content/pemdas-paradox

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1868013953940644302
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
