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 :)

  • your response is “Following my logic, there is no confusion!”

    That’s because the actual rules of Maths have all been followed, including The Distributive Law and Terms.

    there clearly is confusion in the wider world here

    Amongst people who don’t remember The Distributive Law and Terms.

    The blog does a good job of narrowing down why there’s confusion

    The blog ignores The Distributive Law and Terms. Notice the complete lack of Maths textbook references in it?
