No. I have a degree in computer science and a degree in math.

It's not an ambiguous equation.

There's no ambiguity there. Absolutely bloody none.

There's no gag in there, this shit is taught in middle school. You would not fail a paper if you handed in an equation with no brackets when it's as obvious as this one. In fact you'd probably get marks docked off for putting brackets into something bloody obvious as this.

Fuck's sakes.
