Intentionally writing equations shittily is a special type of brain rot.

40 - (32 / 2) = ?

Ftfy.

The cleverness is that it works either way

40-16=4!

8/2=4

But then there's no joke/trick.

It's not written shitty, though.

It really is.

Just because it can be written The original way doesn't mean it should be. It's like developers that use obscure or single letter variables instead of descriptive variables. Sure, you can write variables in an obtuse manner, but it's better for everyone if you write them in a descriptive manner.

fun fact, ? = sqrt(-|x| / 0) for all real x

Nothing wrong with the way it's written - division before subtraction.
