6÷2(1+2)

So how would YOU solve this?

It's a debate that's been going on on tumblr, facebook and twitter for the past few days, and I am wondering how people from different disciplines would go about this problem.
It seems very simple at first, complicated on the second look, but after some thoughts, it might even be simpler than it looks.

Please explain your reasoning as well..
I will present my thoughts next time I log in.

Happy 'thinking'

  1. Probably falling into Stephen Fry's QI alarm here, but does it not just go as 6/2 =3 * (1+2)=9. If not, I blame it on lack of caffeine ...
