So as far as I can tell (based on a small refresher if I’m to be honest) it’s based on one of the more subtle points of order of operation
First you do the parenthesis as we’ve been taught: 8/2(2+2) -> 8/2*4
However at this point you’re just supposed to go left to right: 8/2*4 -> 4*4 -> 16
This is because there is no inherent order between multiplication and division; they should be done essentially at the same time, left to right
The issue lies in the fact that most of us are taught to foil when we see multiplication paired with parenthesis: 2(2+2) -> 2(4) -> 8
Hence why we would intuitively end up at: 8/8 -> 1
(The spacing of the terms in the problem also make this seem more correct)
Edit: just noticed the Keep Reading in one of the posts above, which is a very good/better than my explanation and afterwards

https://www.reddit.com/r/mattcolville/comments/axlq5p/spoiler_the_cult_of_nails/ I’m sorry followers, but I may never shut up about Nails. I was thinking about this idea as well, and honestly it’s my favourite possibility opened up by the Nails scene. I just really like the idea that circumstances beyond his own control quickly turned Nails into a developing god, and whether Sweet’s sacrifice to save his friend’s humanity truly stopped his ascension or not doesn’t matter, because belief is what makes gods and saints, and the common soldiers of The Chain eventually make prayers to Nails to look out for all of them, like he always tried to do in (mortal) life, and to Sweet, as a saint representing the foolhardiness and self-sacrifice that members of the Chain praise. The comment where someone said “A lesser deity of mercenaries and lost causes,” fits too well, and in my mind, Sweet’s sacrifice was what kept Nails’ humanity from diminishing; the moment where this infantile deity was no longer the universal threat Omega Nails, but he became Silver Eyes, deified protector of the Chain.
again, there IS a problem of straight actors playing all the gay roles, but the answer isn’t as easy as “straight people shouldn’t play gay people” because a) it’s acting and there’s nothing intrinsically physical about gayness and b) it’s bad to insist that actors make their sexuality public information
Scrumpy.

Turned some more Disney Heroes into DnD characters for this week’s speedpaint! These designs have probably been my favorite ones so far to put together~ °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
(I went into detail in the video about what class I made each character into and why, but if you haven’t seen it yet then feel free to make your own guesses based on these artworks!)
