There's only one line with an equation.

There's only one line with an equation.
Rules:
 1) The first two lines cannot simply be omitted, you need to find a way to use them all.
 2) Consider a 3 line display that only allows 9 characters to be printed on each line.

Hint: There are no spaces in between any of the numbers or operators since white space is ignored in a math problem.  The spaces between the numbers and operators are only there to improve readability.

Where did rule 1 come from ?  Is that a mathematic rule ?  Who says thats part of the equation ?

I feel obligated to post this:

The most important part begins 2:31.

Nobody said PEMDAS is a mathematical truth. The purpose of PEMDAS was to devise a uniform system so all the parentheses wouldn't be necessary. Which is why PEMDAS inevitably starts with the P, because parentheses overrides the order of operations.

So the whole video is just silly.

If you don't care why would you comment?

You missed the point. PEMDAS is convenient, but limiting to a fault.

Also, parentheses is the first operation, but they're seldom used practically speaking, whereas technically using them for every pair of numbers provides absolute clarity.
