You are doing the order wrong on number one.
You first solve the parentheses and brackets giving 2
Then divide 16 by 2, and then multiply that by 2
Lastly adding 1.

16 ÷ 2(2) + 1 is the same as 16 ÷ 2 x 2 + 1
So we then go multiplication or division left to right.

you are the reason why mathematicians don't take applied maths seriously

Tell it to the calculator bub.

Actually, you can't go from 16÷2[2] to 16÷2×2 because 2[2] means that it is already 4 before the division. It might mean multiplication but it's not the same as basic multiplication.

No it is not special. The parentheses no longer count, the term has been simplified.
16 ÷ 2(2) + 1 is the same as 16 ÷ 2 x 2 + 1
