Order of operations - what is 6÷2(1+2) ?

[jthole]

When I was in school, we were taught this (but it is universally recognised as outdated now):

"Meneer Van Dale Wacht Op Antwoord".

Machtsverheffen (power)
Vermenigvuldigen (multiply)
Delen (divide)
Worteltrekken (taking the root)
Optellen (add)
Aftrekken (subtract)

Brackets were not seen as an operation, with that ordering scheme, but were understood to be evaluated first.

Dutch students were taught this until at least into the 1990's, I think? (definitely in the early seventies).
