The example problems in my sources don't explicitly back up my claims but they provide some evidence that do go against your claim that parentheses mean multiplication. There is no explicit multiplication in (1+1+1) - (1+1+1) and you're taking things crazy out of context.    I counter your...

The links provide the example problems that back up the claim that parentheses don't necessarily mean multiplication. Cause that's what you're supposed to do... you know, back up your claims. 288'ers have an abundance of sources. I haven't seen anything from you except your little drawings on...

Division sure is the inverse of multiplication. But parentheses don't necessarily mean multiplication. http://math.about.com/library/weekly/aa040502a.htm

Everyone look at this guy! Pizzas and Gremlins! Can you people honestly take this guy seriously from now on? Parenthesis don't necessarily mean multiplication. Only if no operator (like +,-,*,/ etc) is before the brackets do they mean multiplication. Example 1 Parenthesis don't...

It says 48÷2(9+3). Let's keep looking at the original problem like you keep on saying. You get 288 by not putting a crown on 2(9+3). Don't fall into the hype of the parenthesis. It ain't special and doesn't get to cut to the front of the line for the Order of Operations pack release.

Everyone is getting 288 by looking at the original problem and  following the order of operations and not assuming that 2(9+3) is a special grouping for some random reason.  The (9+3) can, in fact, be seen either as a number multiplied by the result of 48÷2. We are applying basic math rules...

The problem is written on a single line. The linear nature of the notation of the problem, with the lack of additional brackets and parenthesis makes everyone follow the fundamental order of operations. The grouping of 2(9+3) is an ASSUMPTION. Can you get sources where the notations for division...
