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 :)

    the American Physical Society state in their Style and Notation Guide on page 21 that they do “multiplication before division”, but you must be careful to not take that out of context
