8÷2(1+3)
Apologies for posting this, but I am curious what people think this evaluates to.

Luckily, as RPN users, we don't need to argue about whether our calculator does it "right" or not.

But wanted to see what people thought the answer is and why.

There's a lot of viral videos out there and argument, and I agree the general consensus is that there are better ways of writing equations with less ambiguity.

However, I think it is still worth considering what a sequence of infix algebraic operators evaluates to, especially since many calculators and programming languages do not allow for natural mathematical expressions.
