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 :)
Sure. That doesn't mean it's right to do.
Please read the article, that's exactly what it's about. There is no right answer.
I read the article, and it explained the situation and the resultant confusion very well. That said, could we not have some international body just make a decision one way or the other, instead of perpetuating this uncertainty?
There's no decision to be made. The correct rules are already taught in literally every Year 7-8 Maths textbook.
