Try type

solve 2+2*2-2 or
solve 3+3*3-3 or
solve 4+4*4-4 etc, etc

Is this a bug? To whom can I report it?

Well remember that in maths they do multiply/divide first then plus/subtract

Yes, I know this.
But if i do 2+2*2-2 it eguals 4 not 2. The same thing with i.e. 5+5*5-5=25
not 5, or 6+6*6-6=36 not 6 and so on...

Which is correct !

Try using parenthesis eg (2+2)*(2-2)
