Who the hell are you asking this 3rd grade math problem?

Let me guess, you don't understand the rules for the order of
operations.

i guess you don't know the answer

Putting

calculate 9 - 3 ÷ 1/3 + 1

into Google gives the answer as 1. There is an ambiguity as to whether
1/3 should be construed as 1 divided by 3, or as the quantity one third.
Google calculate takes the latter view.

However, what this shows clearly is that as a test for being a robot,
it's useless.

Guess all you want, dim wit.

This is not a grade school math class.

Correct answer, sorry dim wit.

And as others have pointed out, the question is useless as a robot wall.

Nope, she ran it through google as a test for viablility as a robot wall
and it failed the test.

Did you not understand the sentence:

"However, what this shows clearly is that as a test for being a robot,
it's useless."

The term 9 - 3 ÷ 1/3 + 1
contains two different division operators.

A robot could eventually treat them as equally valid, while a human
would see the visual difference and would think, the difference might be
intentional.

So a human would think about 9 - 3 ÷ (1/3) + 1, while a robot 'thinks'
9 - (3 ÷ 1)/3 + 1, because robots usually don't try to understand
something.

Google is certainly not a good example, because their AI is too far
developed.

Correct. -Conventions- on the order of arithmetical operations
differ by country, and even within some countries with time.
The only right way of doing it is to insert parenthesis
to make the expressions unambigeous.
Impossible of course, for doing so would rob school teachers
of an opportunity to use their red pencils,

The order of operations rule is hardly a sophisticated challenge
requiring advanced AI.

A robot would have to be programmed first to recognize a string of
numbers and mathematical symbols as an expression to be evaluated.

Then it would be programmed with the order of operatons.

All that is pretty trivial.

Thus any entity that got the wrong answer is human as only a human would
forget the order of operations, which makes it fairly useless as a robot
test.

I bet all you people have trouple with those Captcha codes...

probably banging on your computer screen...

Confirm that you are not a robot...

Confirm that you are not stupid...

should be what it reads.
