Yeah - that's what makes it fun.

48÷2(9+3) = ? | Know Your Meme:
"48÷2(9+3) = ? is a math problem that, depending on the order of operations used, leads to two different answers: 2 and 288. What is the correct answer is currently a hot topic for debate, and is sometimes used to troll other users because of the argument that can result afterward"
I can't seem to get WolframAlpha to do it again, but the first time I entered the equation as posted here, it converted it to the extra set of parentheses and gave the answer 2 (the first screen shot above). The second time I entered it, it didn't and gave the answer 288. Interesting, no?
