    Just look at those viral math problems. I recently saw one that was something like (1+2*3)*(1*0) and most comments were arguing if it was 7 or 9

      I think you mean (1+2*3)*(1*0).

      Escape your asterisks, kids.

          I was going to claim 9 because I though there was some markdown that italicised things with a single ^, and your intent was (1+2³). Before the (1•0) of course.

              And I agree. You’re completely missing my point, though

              The only advice I can give is to re-read the thread, starting from @[email protected]’s comment. If the source of your confusion is that you don’t know what escaping the asterisks means, then just ask
