I can't even fathom how people can be so dumb when it comes to math.

I feel like half of these people were just trolling with these answers. I am pretty sure I could solve this problem when I was 6.

Most 3rd grade mathematics textbooks would disagree.

I dont know what's more sad. The fact that people get this basic math wrong, or that people need an acronym to learn basic order of operations with an acronym

The fact that people can't conceptualize what 16 x 18 +3 is disturbing

16 groups of 18 (or 18 groups of 16) plus 3

it is very weird to me

shrug

There's nothing at all wrong with using mnemonics as a memory aid

Yes, there is. It is a shortcut for not actually understanding why order of operations functions as it does. It also just slows you down.

You shouldnt need a memory aid. This is a conceptual issue, being alleviated through memorization. Both are a sign of a lack of intellect imo

It's designed to be skewed or trolled. Anyone that understands knows the answer isn't there so they either troll it or do nothing. You are just left with people that either don't know it, or second guess themselves when their first answer wasn't in the list. Pure social engineering.

What? The answer is 10. 10 isn't on the answer list. The closest to 10 is 13. People pick that instead.
