The Correct Way to Think About It
Step-by-step thinkers usually win this challenge:
- Solve what’s inside the parentheses first
- Move left to right for division and multiplication
- Avoid mental shortcuts
Those who follow the rules carefully often reach the correct solution—while everyone else argues in the comments.
