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 :)
A couple of edits (not trying to be rude but people sent to your article are going to be pedantic)
*current beliefs
This sentence needs editing: "They even split the category into two and the make a distinction between implicit multiplication with variables other implicit multiplications."
Thank you for reading the post, and thanks for pointing that out. Should be fixed and live in the next few minutes.
Update: Also fixed that sentence. Thank you so much.
