Oddly it seems to be about a 50/50 split. I found the thread with the similar equation and someone graphed the results from various forums:

Until I read the website names at the bottom, I totally thought your post was about the election... the graph, the percentages, the colors...

I was confused.

Lol. PEMDAS was designed as an aid. It should be written more like (P)(E)(M/D)(A/S)

See:
Order of Operations - PEMDAS

The people who insist it is 1 are the most comical. No offense, gray ^

For total verification, plug that bad boy into Wolfram Alpha.

No it's not.

6/2(1+2)
6/2(3)
3(3)
9

I did the division first just for readability.

Exactly. But, it'd probably confuse more people that way. You just got to remember that M/D and A/S bear the same weight.

Applying the operations in the correct order, the answer is 9.

At that point I'm almost shocked you're 'convinced' that the answer might be one..

Unrelated to mathematics or politics... I'm totally stoked to be replacing the wheels and tires on my Jeep today.

Wooooo!

Nice! Although it is slightly related to mathematics, when you add up the prices! I used to have a Jeep, depending on the size (twss) and style the wheels/tires can get really expensive.
