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 :)

Skimmed your comment and it’s wrong

So tell me where it's wrong.

Let me know if you ever decide to read the article instead of arguing against an imagined opponent

There's nothing imaginary about the fact that he claimed it's ambiguous, and is therefore wrong. Tell me why I should read a wrong article, given I already know it's wrong.

Why would I bother to read your comment when I know it’s wrong?

You haven't told me where it's wrong yet. I already said where the article is wrong.

I’ll read your comment when you read the article. Challenge level: impossible.

I stopped reading it when I found it was wrong., and said what was wrong about it. You have still not said where mine is allegedly wrong. I'll take that as an admission that you're wrong then.

I stopped reading your comment when I saw you still hadn’t read the article.

I'll take that as an admission that you're wrong then. Bye now.

P.S. someone else just provided me with even more things which are wrong in it. Even more glad I didn't waste time reading the rest of it.

I’ll take that as admission that you’re too unintelligent to read.
