In 4D this could be simplified to

3+4*5^2/6-3*(1+2)   // but with the compiler bug is real then it would be
(3+4*5)^2/6-3*(1+2)   // this one

4D only has 2 rules of precedence () first then left to right. I didn't know 
about the compiler bug. I guess I don't use powers a lot in database 
applications. Either way in my opinion this is much easier to learn than C++ 
for example that has 16 levels of precedence.
