Math problem that is driving the Internet crazy

[Rev. Rye]

Its not a math problem at all, its very simple 3rd graders math.
The real problem is that the equation is presented in an ambigious way. We have math symbols for a reason.

If the originator would have bothered to specify the problem, it wouldnt be a problem at all.

#1 8/(2*(2+2))=1
#2 8/2*(2+2)=16

Now, what was the original problem? #1 or #2?

The way I read it, it would have to be #1, then again, I first heard about this in an article, I don’t remember what it was, but it did end with a reminder that expressing simple arithmetic problems in such a needlessly ambiguous way is just fucking meaningless. Math doesn’t need trolls.
