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 :)

    Actually the correct answer is clearly 0.2609 if you follow the order of operations correctly:

    6/2(1+2)
    = 6/23
    = 0.26
