A wise friend told me "t is a loaded question. You can bypass all ambiguities and misunderstanding with a bracket. Modern Western interpretation says 16. Old Eastern says 1. You can just write 8 / [2(2+2)] as is what is accepted, or (8/2)(2+2) as was used to be accepted, in order to resolve this conversation. Therefore, I would place blame on the opacity of the question."
