All wordplay aside, it doesn't matter if technically it's interpretable. It's not a coincidence that people get a different answer. The equation is intentionally ambiguous. We all know it. It's obvious. This is all about sociology, not math.

i really wonder....will this meme make it onto Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?
