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 :)

    Skimmed your comment and it’s wrong. Let me know if you ever decide to read the article instead of arguing against an imagined opponent.

      Read it, wasn’t imagined. In fact it was even worse than I thought it would be! Did you not notice about how a blog about the alleged ambiguity in order of operations actually disobeyed order of operations in a deliberately ambiguous example? I wrote 5 Fact check posts, starting here - you’re welcome.

          you’re a slow reader

          I see you like to use made-up “facts”, just like the blog does. Is that the best you can come up with after repeatedly insisting I should read it? (which yes, would’ve been a huge waste of time, exactly as I said, had I not turned it into a positive use of time by writing a fact check about it. Alleged fake news turns out to be… fake - who would’ve thought? Oh that’s right, me :-) )

          I’ll read your comment when you read the article

          So, did you read it now? Or are you a “slow reader” and I need to wait longer for your responses?

      So tell me where it’s wrong.

      There’s nothing imaginary about the fact that he claimed it’s ambiguous, and is therefore wrong. Tell me why I should read a wrong article, given I already know it’s wrong.
