Hahahaha
LNCHBOX is arguing that the answer is 9 in that one and that it isn't 9 in this one.
And he gets pissed when people call him a contrarian...
Nb4 "link?"

And toss in the fact that this was discussed merely three months ago
And LNCHBOX is in there arguing for 9 the whole time.
ETA: Although if I remember right, the OP changed his syntax a few times.

It wasn't. It was ambiguous. No it isn't. quote: The 1/3 was intended to be a fraction Link?
He is in that thread saying the only answer is 9
quote:
Technically this one isn't even poorly written. There is no division sign to confuse people. There is literally only one way to interpret this problem.
quote:
I actually know math
quote:
It's properly written for anyone that knows how to properly solve a math problem. If the intended answer is 1, it is not written correctly. But if a specific answer other than 9 is not desired, it is written properly.
quote:
"Purely as written" is the only way to correctly solve math problems. Anything else is arbitrary nonsense.
quote:
Don't care. Problem as written in OP has one exact answer: 9.
quote:
It's not an assumption. It's a fact dictated by order of operations.
quote:
I'm not going to apologize for being able to solve simple math. Saying it's ambiguous is a cop-out. You can argue intent all you want. There is only one answer to the problem in the OP.
quote:
My response is the same as it always has been. The answer to the problem in the OP is 9, and it can only be 9. You're overcomplicating it to try to sound smart.
quote:
This is simple guys
9-3÷1/3+1=9
9-3÷(1/3)+1=1
Which problem is written in the OP? That is your answer
But what about the intent? Intent is important in math

This thread is living proof that the people living on this planet are so fricking dumb.

9-3 / 1/3 + 1
ETA: But yes, these stolen from facebook math problems are dumb.

I'm sorry you don't see the glaring difference. It's there if you're not trying to be a retard. OP in that thread changed the problem halfway through the thread.

fricking hack
He re-wrote the problem like this early in that thread
9 – 3 ÷ 1/3 + 1
I can post the time stamps
Hell, you even replied to posts with the newly written problem
