oh that's clever, I hadn't even though of that angle. Sadly i think the consensus is it was based off of dunk tanks

until the 50's it was exclusively black people in the contraption and it had a more colorful name. CW slurs https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunk_tank#Origin
Big ups on name changes, I had no idea and it's always good to root that kind of stuff out.
however 
the removal of the concept of the dunk tank. The loweffort liberal slopbucket is a pillar of this community. It may not be the most productive, but it is an infinite wellspring of leftist-aligned content, which is always needed and lets people continue to participate in a leftist community when they don't feel like theoryposting/theoryreading. unless the vision for this website is solely theoryposting and anyone who wants to have fun has to schlep back to 
My bad on typing 6 as the final number, typo.
I think the image is discussing the two ways most people interpret the (deliberately slightly obtuse) equation 6 / 2(1+2) Following BEDMAS BOMDAS PEMDAS or however you call it in your area as written, the correct interpretation is interpretation #2, which resolves to 9,
However many people also interpret the implitic multiplication in 2(1+2) to have higher priority, or makes the 2 and () into one unit, as if put into Parentheses, which leads to interpretation #1, which resolves to 1.
The real answer is to make the original question less obtuse, but any parsing algorithm correctly given the rules of mathematical notation would resolve it to 9
I'm not trying to start an argument over this, but I respectfully disagree.
6 / 2 * (1 + 2)
6 / 2 * 3
3 * 3
9 edit: accidentally said 6 here
Parentheses first, then division and multiplication granting priority to operations on the left.

I'm not really here to argue, i was just sharing something i learned earlier today. but i will point out that the entire concept of dunk tanks was racist in origin, not just the old name(s). It's original form was just trying to throw balls at black people's faces, and it developed from there.
