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 :)

I see only one of us is stupid enough to roll through a 3 month old thread chirping at everyone

Engaged in several proper conversations with people now, so it's active again, not "3 months old". Maybe you should try reading some of those conversations (since you don't seem to want to read textbooks).

trying to shill the fact that you’re a teacher

I try to mention it as little as possible actually. It's only when I see something outrageously wrong mathematically that I point out they're trying to gaslight a Maths teacher, so that ain't gonna work.
