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 :)
100% related actually, since that's the actual next line of working out. i.e. you cannot remove brackets unless there is only 1 term left inside, a mistake which those who have prematurely removed brackets have made and ended up with the wrong answer (because it flips the 3 from being in the denominator to being in the numerator).
