    I spent a large amount of time at my former employment trying to "Stupid Proof" things... It is nearly impossible!

    It's 1...

    8÷2(2+2)=8÷(4+4)=8÷8=1

    So yep... it's 1...

    Finally another soul that understands math!!!!

    Thats because you added extra parentheses... The way it is shown in that screen shot the answer is 16

    I worked as a custodian in a High School at one time. Mentioned to another custodian that the posters in the Algebra class room were good and helpful. He spread the word. They didn't have the slightest what the posters were talking about. All I could think then was: "I don't belong here."
    On the "Stupid Proof". I remember a guy who was a foreman talking to me one time. Said his guys acted retarded so they wouldn't have to do anything.

    The problem is that most people dont understand that 2(2+2) mean 2 times everything inside the parentheses. If it was written as: 8÷2×(2+2) then the answer would be 16.
