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 :)

Markdown fucked your comment. Use escape symbols.

Never mind, here's another better way to do this:

^6^⁄~2(1+2)~ ⇒ ^6^⁄~2*3~ ⇒ ^6^⁄~6~ ⇒ 1

Works on the web page, but looks weird on some mobile app. Markdown is a fucking mess. Some implementation has MathJax support, some have special syntaxes.
