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 :)

    Yeah 100% was not taught that. Follow the pemdas or fail the test. Division is after Multiply in pemdas.

    I put the equation into excel and get 9 which only makes sense in bodmas.
