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 :)
No it isn’t. It’s the way we write factorised terms (and The Distributive Law is the reverse process to factorising).
Stop spamming me with uneducated nonsense
Maths textbooks are “uneducated nonsense”. Uh, whatever.
How many math textbooks have you read?
Here’s a more relevant question - how many Maths textbooks do you own? If it’s more than zero, then take a picture/screenshot of any pages which you think support your argument. I’ll wait.
A couple dozen
Still waiting.
Do something with your life.
I teach Maths. How about you?
