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 :)
I'm still not used to having combined image and text posts so I usually don't notice the text portion if it isn't a big ol' wall and I hope I'm not the only one.
he made a mistake posting this to a comment section, now he must pay the price
❤️ 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.
No, it doesn't. It never talks about Terms, nor The Distributive Law (which isn't the same thing as the Distributive Property). These are the 2 rules of Maths which make this 100% not ambiguous.
