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 :)

    What is the correct answer according to the convention you follow?

      I have a masters in math, please do not condescend. I’m fully aware of both interpretations and your overall point and I’ve explained my response.

        I still don’t see a number ;-) but you can take a look at the meme to see other people with math degrees shouting at each other.
