That may be right. I always forget the order of operations bit.

Forgot for sure. I don't do much math anymore. Used to be decent once upon a time. 🤣

yeah in the UK it's 8 too - order of operations says multiply first then divide, so 52 / 26 = 2, times 2 is 4? wait no, that's not right. beats me actually, math's not my strong suit

brackets first so (1+1) = 2
then division before multiplication so 52 / 13 = 4
not the multiplication 4 x 2 = 8

ah yeah that clears it up - so 52 divided by 13 is 4, then times the 2 from the brackets makes 8. math's tricky with the order stuff
