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 hilarious seeing all the genius commenters who didn't read the linked article and are repeating all the exact answers and arguments that the article rebuts :)
No, it doesn't. It never talks about Terms, nor The Distributive Law (which isn't the same thing as the Distributive Property). These are the 2 rules of Maths which make this 100% not ambiguous.
