I am not young enough to know everything...

Or it could be said to be 32.
But if that's what was said it'd be a total lie.

When I ran the numbers I got 18!! This number was arrived at by doing the calculations in the order they appear.. 32x3 = 96, 96 / 2 = 48, 48 - 20 = 28, 28 + 8 = 36, 36 / 2 = 18!
I tried to get 32 but the closest I could get was 34.. ((32 x 3) / 2) - ((20 + 8) / 2) = 34!
So my question is How you get 32 as the answer Fyron?
Cheers!

How so? What *should* be the result?

According to standard algebraic precedence of operation, division comes before addition, so the order should be:
((32 x 3) / 2) - 20 + (8 / 2)
48 - 20 + 4 = 32
