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 :)
Typo in article:
Except should be 'accept'.
Not trying to be annoying, but I know people will often find that as a reason to disregard academic arguments.
Thank you very much 🫶. No it's not annoying at all. I'm very grateful not only for the fact that you read the post but also that you took the time to point out issues.
I just fixed it, should be live in a few minutes.
The "academic arguments" can be ignored since this is actually high school Maths - it's taught in Year 7-8.
A person not knowing the difference in usage between except and accept sounds like a perfectly reasonable reason to disregard their math skills.
Especially when said person keeps making incorrect statements about Maths and ignores completely what is taught in high school.
