RE: silly math puzzle

The Prime is interesting.
In PPL the implied multiply is required: 16 is returned (but not from an exact copy of the specified program).
In Home (Textbook) the implied multiply is optional: 1 is returned in both cases (with no use of cursor the parentheses default to the divisor).
In Home (algebraic) : 16 is returned in both cases.
In CAS the implied multiply is required: 1 returned.

Updated to include results for Home(Textbook) and Home(algebraic), as it makes a difference.
