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 :)
We do teach children how to solve this. It’s not children who get it wrong - it’s adults that get it wrong! Cos they’ve forgotten the rules of Maths (in this case The Distributive Law and Terms).
