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 :)

    All of the programming languages I can think of apply operator precedence as noted in the first reply. That’s the only standard I ever learned, and I’ve never seen any ambiguity in that.
