I like your style Dr. Pizza.Your superficial understanding of PEMDAS is flawed, and you don't understand nuance. The problem you wrote is obviously designed for you to claim that people are wrong, by you sticking to an overzealous understanding of PEMDAS. A mathematician would look at that and say the answer is 1. The mathematician would also say that your expression is poorly and ambiguously written. Because of your spacing, and use of the division symbol ÷ right next to 1/3, no mathematician would claim that the interpretation of 3 divided by one-third is an incorrect interpretation, and that 3 divided by 1, then divided by 3 is a better interpretation.
Suffice to say, you probably have one of those Beavis and Butthead laughs when someone says the answer is 1, instead of the answer of 9 that you're going to claim is correct.
Lets see how long it takes for someone to post a wrong answer.
9 - 3 ÷ 1/3 + 1 = ?
Looks like some kind of Islamic terrorist secret code bullshit to me.
You are right, the "group" is called...
AL GEBRA, and is fighting FOR MULAs and other animals.

No one cares that you wrote an equation to cause a confusion in the "official" order of operations.
PEMDAS...
Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sara.
parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction
oh wait is that even an answer?
Some of those have equal priority and would be evaluated from left-to-right.parentheses, exponents, multiplication AND division, addition AND subtraction
