BODMAS or PEMDAS
Hello,

Was hoping someone could clarify if this is a known fault, or am I overlooking something. Recently someone posted on LinkedIn the following brain teaser 6รท2(1+2)= stating that 9 out of 10 people get this wrong.

Well it seems that even the HP Prime cannot decide which is the correct way to solve. If I enter as written whilst in "Algebraic" entry mode I get 9 as the answer. But if I then use "Textbook" entry mode I get 1 as the answer. This seems to fall into the great debate as to whether you use BODMAS or PEMDAS.
