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 :)
It's not ambiguos nor an communication problem, it's basic Math
You should read the part about WolframAlpha in the blog.

Heyoooooo
Now you changed it to an explicit multiplication. The ambiguity only comes from the implicit multiplication after a division, that's when the interpretation can be ambiguous. That's what the blog post really is about.
