I suspect those who think the answer is 288 are far younger than those of us who know the answer is 2.

Well, let’s see.
I wrote my first “Hello World” program in Forgo (a stripped down Fortran) on an IBM 1620 in 1963.
And I think the correct answer is 288.

As you have said, the answer is 2. I've done more math in my life than I care to admit (I'm a civil engineer). Having said that, a few more parentheses would have made the equation alot less ambiguous.
