Comment:

 to be clearer, I should format the above as a code block:


 {{{
 Things I've entered which should work but don't (or should return more
 kid-friendly error messages). All = signs were entered with = key.

 1. 16=
 2. 8/8=
 3. X=1
 4. (66)2
 5. 2^(2^2)
 6. 2^((2)^2)
 7. (2^2)-1

 Things which I've entered which get wrong result
 1. 0(5)    returns 5
 2. (66)(3) returns 3
 3. 2^2=4   returns false
 }}}
