I understand why this is wrong (order of operations dictates the division happens first, so it's really 25 - 1 = 24), but why is it funny? I don't mean "This isn't funny," I think I'm just missing the joke.
Cause math people has a weird humor?
The exclamation point in the answer, from a math perspective, makes it 4 factorial: 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24, which is the correct answer.
Could it be you’re responding to the wrong person?
Indeed, it could.
Sorry to said that, but you made my guess quite real.
