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 :)

    ChatGPT’s Answer:

    The expression 6/2(1+2) involves both multiplication and division. According to the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), you should perform operations inside parentheses first, then any multiplication or division from left to right.

    Let’s break down the expression step by step:

    Inside the parentheses: 1 + 2 = 3

    Now the expression becomes 6/2 * 3

    Division: 6/2 = 3

    Multiplication: 3 * 3 = 9

    So, 6/2(1+2) is equal to 9.
