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 :)
I'd would be great if you find the time to read the post and let me know afterwards what you think. It actually looks trivial as a problem but the situation really isn't, that's why the article is so long.
I was being facetious. I will try to find the time to read the post, but I know already that the problem isn’t trivial. It involves, above all else, human comprehension, which is a very iffy thing, to say the least.
Oh sry. I'm one of those people who are to stupid to detect sarcasm in text comments, unless it's very obvious. Probably a combination of it actually being a hard problem and me not being a native speaker.
Because it actually is.
The article was really long because there were so many stawmen in it. Had you checked a Maths textbook or asked a Maths teacher it could've been really short, but you never did either.
