I'm confused as to why US can't use electronic voting system. While it may be technically possible, many people don't trust it. Many people will never trust it. I'm not sure which system I would prefer, at this point in time. I'm a retired IT guy. I don't believe there is any such thing as an unhackable computer based system. Then again, I don't trust human beings either. I prefer a monarchy, wherein I become King of the World. I'll fix everything, by decree. 😂

I personally did not vote for Biden but I’m not mad at him winning. I’ll be glad to have someone in the White House who I don’t feel embarrassed every time he opens his mouth or tweets lol

Biden/Harris were definitely not my first choice. I have my issues with Biden. These four years are still not going to be easy. But Trump being president would have been a whole other disaster. That's all I'm gonna say because I don't really like talking politics on the internet.

It’s like, who is better of the two devils lol. I hope, we have someone else to choose to from, the current ruling party in my country has systematically destroyed opposition. India will turn fascist if the PM gets a much longer term. At least, with Trump not in power, the Indian PM will not get blind support as they both are terrible towards minorities and Islamophobic.

Any math wizards want to take a shot at this?

That's right. You do parentheses first, so that becomes: 8/2*4 Next, you go from left to right. 8/2 is 4, so it is 4*4 I thought this might go on for a while longer.

I ended up Googling it and found a YouTube video that explained the answer. I was confused as to how it wouldn't be 1 as well because of the order of operations but never knew when you have multiplication and division together, that you go from left to right. Or maybe I just forgot that from school haha

In school, we were taught to resolve the parentheses first before doing the multiplication/division. So it will be like:
8÷2(2+2) 8÷2(4) 8÷8 =1
Not sure if we were taught correctly haha. 16 was kinda a lucky guess. How I get 16 was because I ignored the parentheses rule XD. I did the division first before resolving the parentheses so it was like:
8÷2(2+2) 4(2+2) 4(4) =16
But, from my school syllabus, the answer would have been 1 haha. The explanation posted by Uncle Bob also made sense.

Me too. I would’ve solved to 1 in my day.
