Order doesn't matter with multiplication (eg: (20 * 5) * 2 == (5 * 2) * 20) but it obviously does with division ((20/5)/2 != (2/5)/20) so the question doesn't make sense. It's you making grade-school level mistakes here.

The question makes perfect sense. Here it is written in logical language. I'm curious at which point does it stop making sense for you?

  numbers divided together  
    ↓----------↓ 
    ((a / b / c) = a + b + c) ← numbers added together
  | ((a / c / b) = a + b + c)
  | ((b / a / c) = a + b + c)
  | ((b / c / a) = a + b + c)
  | ((c / a / b) = a + b + c)
  | ((c / b / a) = a + b + c)
  | ((a / (b / c)) = a + b + c)
  | ((a / (c / b)) = a + b + c)
  | ((b / (a / c)) = a + b + c)
  | ((b / (c / a)) = a + b + c)
  | ((c / (a / b)) = a + b + c)
  | ((c / (b / a)) = a + b + c) = true

    So you want it to solve 12 simultaneous equations? LLMs are not good at that. Is there in fact an answer? ChatGPT says no.

      What? It's a single logical equation, not a system of equations you gpt-head. There are 12 expressions with OR signs between then and they must be equal to true, meaning any one of them must be true. In your prompt to LLM you messed up the syntax by starting with an OR sign for some reason

      By the way my LLM tells me that it's a deep and thoughtful dive into the problem, which accounts for the potential ambiguity to find all possible solutions, so try better.
