There's quite a few calculators that get this wrong. In college, I found out that Casio calculators do things the right way, are affordable, and readily available. I stuck with it through the rest of my classes.

My Casio calculators get this wrong, even the newer ones. BTW the correct answer is 16, right?

Depends on the system you use. Most common system worldwide and in the academic circles (the oldest of the two) has 1 as the answer.

There are no other systems - only people who are following the actual rules of Maths and those who aren't. And yes, 1 is the correct answer
