Words appear: Solve this puzzle to open the door:
10 + 2 * 4 ÷ 2^2 - (5 + 4)
Note: 2^2 means 2 to the power of 2
If your answer is correct: the door slowly opens a little, showing the next challenge.
If your answer is wrong: The door stays closed, and the ground shakes under your feet.
Answer:
[[start with the brackets so the answer is 10 + 2 * 4 ÷ 2^2 - 9]]
[[start with exponents so the answer is 10 + 2 * 4 ÷ 4 - (5 + 4)]]
[[start from the left so the answer is 12 * 4 ÷ 2^2 - (5 + 4)]]

"To cross safely, continue solving the puzzle :10 + 2 * 4 ÷ 2^2 - 9
Answer:
[[You start with multiplication so the answer is 10 + 8 ÷ 2^2 - 9]]
[[You start with exponents so the answer is 10 + 2 * 4 ÷ 4 - 9 ]]
