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.

    This kind of problem falls under “communicating badly and acting smug when misunderstood”.

    No it doesn’t. It falls under adults forgetting the rules of Maths.

    Use parenthesis and the problem goes away

    There is no problem, other than adults who have forgotten the rules.
