I am, actually.

I agree with the proveness your project takes. 

Math isn't really hard, but the assignments are absurd

You learnt that suff in year4/5 when your were 9/10 ?

Im 10 and I know:

Mathematics
Subtraction
Division
Multiplication
Pythagoras (Learnt with my annoying, naggy dad.)

Discuss this: 6 / 2 (1 + 2) = ?

You're in luck, I just posted a giant post on who Mario is and what he does.

No, he's a Italian plumber who grows huge when he eats people's heads, can throw fireballs if he touches a flower, used to be able to turn into a flying fox, auto-kills everything he touches when he gets a star, kills evil giant spikey turtles, falls through the floor when he touches something bad like a walking turd, drives a go-kart, had 8 differant parties with his friends, jumps on a flying green dinosaur's back and rides around on it so that he can jump higher and farther, has a tall green brother who's scared of everything and has his own mansion. Mario also has a clone from a parallel universe who's name is practically the same as his except with a 'W' who is short and fat and wants to be rich and has a brother name Waluigi who's tall and skinny and whatever. Mario also eats tons of pasta, gets weak if he's not wearing his red hat, found a water cannon on an island named F.L.U.D.D, saves princesses, saves frogs, and seriously has a grudge againsted a monkey named 'donkey' who chucks barrels at him.

Use THAT in your project.

Actually, no.

The order of operations may be in this order (parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction), but what it really is is (parenthesis, exponents, multiplication and division from left to right, addition and subtraction from left to right).

So,

6 / 2 (1 + 2)
6 / 2 (3)
3(3)
9

Whoops, you're right.

No, he's wrong.
It's this:
6 / 2 (1 + 2)
6 / 2 (3)
6 / 0 (2 + 3)
6 / 5
6 / 2 (1 + 2) = 6 / 5 = 1.2
1.2

Another answer from my computer is 3...

Dude, parenthesis next to a number doesn't mean add, it means multiply.
