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 :)
FACT CHECK 5/5
Maths teachers already know how to do Maths. Huh, who would've thought? Next thing you'll be telling me is English teachers know the rules of grammar and how to spell!
Literally NOTHING can convince a Maths teacher it's ambiguous - Maths teachers already know all the rules of Maths, and which ones you're breaking
To fact check it for the benefit of others
At this point I hope you understand why it isn't ambiguous. Tip: next time check some Maths textbooks or ask a Maths teacher
Neither of them is a thing
Facts you mean. The rules of Maths are facts
There absolutely is! You just chose not to ask any experts about it
...they are all solvable by following the rules of Maths
There is - The Distributive Law and Terms
No, BIDMAS and left to right is the full story
No, post a link to this order of operations thread index - it has textbook references, proofs, memes, worked examples, the works!
