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 :)

❤️ True, but I think one of the biggest problems is that it's pretty long and because you can't really sense how good/bad/convining the text is it's always a gamble for everybody if it's worth reading something for 30min just to find out that the content is garbage.

I hope I did a decent job in explaining the issue(s) but I'm definitely not mad if someone decides that they are not going to read the post and still comment about it.
