First comment! w00t!
I really don't like math all that much... and I'm no good at it... but I got it right away. (Lucky guess probably... usually this kind o' thing takes me HOURS!) Good idea though. At first I was a bit confused... oh, and 2/2+2 works. You also don't need parentheses (because of O of O, division is always ahead of addition.) Good! (I think... not much for math, you see.)
