I wrote a (very long) blog post about those viral math problems and am looking for feedback, especially from people who are not convinced that the problem is ambiguous.
It's about a 30min read so thank you in advance if you really take the time to read it, but I think it's worth it if you joined such discussions in the past, but I'm probably biased because I wrote it :)
What the heck are you all fighting about? It’s BODMAS.
I'd would be great if you find the time to read the post and let me know afterwards what you think. It actually looks trivial as a problem but the situation really isn't, that's why the article is so long.
I was being facetious. I will try to find the time to read the post, but I know already that the problem isn’t trivial. It involves, above all else, human comprehension, which is a very iffy thing, to say the least.
Oh sry. I'm one of those people who are to stupid to detect sarcasm in text comments, unless it's very obvious. Probably a combination of it actually being a hard problem and me not being a native speaker.
