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 :)
Not sure if sarcastic and woosh, or adding to the joke ಠ_ಠ
The mean of 1 and 9 is 5
woosh
I think you got hit hard by Poe's Law here. Except it's more like people couldn't tell if you were jokingly or genuinely getting your math wrong... Even after you explained you were joking lol
I thought the "/j" tone-tag was enough ;_;
jarcasm?
Joking
If one doesn't realize you're op, the entire thing can be interpreted very differently.
Then "Not sure if sarcastic and woosh, or adding to the joke ಠ_ಠ" could be interpreted as something like "I'm not sure if you are adding to the joke and I'm not understanding it".
