lolno, there is a difference between obelus (÷) and solidus (/) and a single correct answer to this problem. This isn't some magical problem that has multiple possible correct answers depending on the reader's interpretation, it simply exploits the fact that people have failed to learn the difference between the two symbols (As obelus is generally pointless to use past basic arithmetic) and causes confusion.In basic arithmetic, the difference between obelus and solidus is grouping. Obelus is simply the division operator, while solidus implies a fraction that contains everything unless it is encapsulated in parenthesis.6÷2(1+2) implies (6/2)(1+2) which works out to 9while 6/2(1+2) implies (6)/(2(1+2)) which works out to 1

E. And reading Jorick's post, I'm wrong.
