Original Note:
This is not a serious math problem because the obelus is actually ambiguous and not used in serious math literature. In some contexts it implies terms on each side should be first evaluated and in other contexts it implies division with order of operations going left to right. https://plus.maths.org/content/pemdas-paradox
