"I thought it was about cultural differences" - there aren't any. Maths is universal https://dotnet.social/@SmartmanApps/112019943359120289
"so I asked both Wolfram Alpha and good old GNOME calculator" - both of which give the WRONG answer. 🙄 Pick up a calculator instead https://dotnet.social/@SmartmanApps/111164851485070719

@SmartmanApps@dotnet.social I tried, but, although my prefix calculator can evaluate infix expressions, it complains about the lack of the explicit operator in your expression. I see that you have already had this discussion with actual mathematicians, so I am not going to waste any more time.
