PEMDAS tells me the answer is one. 2+2=4, 4*2=8, 8/8=1
(For non-mathies, PEMDAS is the order of operations for math functions: First is whatever's in Parantheses, then Exponents, Multiplacation, Division, Addition, then lastly Subtraction.)

I'm lost. I read 8 divided by 2x4 (8) = 1

Well, I'm a misanthropic introvert, so...what is this "parties" you speak of?

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."
