A nearly year-old Facebook event for a "simple maths competition" has been one of the most viral posts on the platform for six months.

      I like the version where these problems are made purposefully ambiguous so people will fight over it and raise the level of interaction

        None of them are ambiguous. They all have only 1 correct answer, just like this one only has 1 correct answer. They all test if people remember the order of operations rules. Those who got it wrong, don’t.
