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 :)

"Next, we perform operations on multiplication or division from left to right." Found that in like 20 sources. Funny how I didn't see any of that yesterday.

This is crazy swear never heard that rule.

100% sure I solved everything in class following the acronym. Glad we sorted this out before I helped any kids do Homework.
