@Simi_2210_ So, you’re saying that only one in 50 million people remember basic arithmetic/algebra from school?? Huh. I bet rather more do.

@StirredNoShook @Simi_2210_ I’ve proven my point beyond a doubt and proven that you are constitutionally incapable of admitting you are wrong. Bye.

@DanielJFunk42 @Simi_2210_ Sorry, don’t see it that way. You can just as easily say half of 100 is 50 - you do not need to say one half of 100 is 50. It’s the same thing, just dividing.

@StirredNoShook @Simi_2210_ “While ‘divide by half’ is sometimes used in casual speech, it is technically ambiguous and grammatically incomplete…. ‘One half’ is the name of the numerical value 0.5.” Concede???
English

@DanielJFunk42 @Simi_2210_ Same. FYI, all of my engineer coworkers also agree with my take.

@NostalgicHubb No possible way to reason this out. The poster just had a name in mind they want us to guess.

@StirredNoShook @Simi_2210_ My apologies at underestimating your training. But I’m sticking by my argument.
English

@DanielJFunk42 @Simi_2210_ Wrong - not a phd, but master level, stem, including a math minor.
English

@StirredNoShook @Simi_2210_ No it isn’t. Guessing you aren’t a college graduate.And you might have inferred from my being a scientist that I have some familiarity with math. I am also a skilled and experienced writer who is familiar with the English language, which is the actual issue at hand here.

@DanielJFunk42 @Simi_2210_ Except it is. Guessing you weren’t a math major.

@Matt_Pinner Hard to be sure. Depends on the color settings for the photo. But it looks medium well to me.
English

@StirredNoShook @Simi_2210_ “Half” is not a number. “One half” is a number. It’s a problem with language.
English

@DanielJFunk42 @Simi_2210_ 500 divided by half makes perfectly good sense - 500 / 0.5 =1,000, then + 50 = 1050.

@Haway_The_Lads @Simi_2210_ Dude, I’m a tenured science professor and scientist at an elite university with an IQ of 150. Which one of us is thicker?
English

@DanielJFunk42 @Simi_2210_ Have you always been thick? 🤔

@NoDMsPerfavore All of them contribute to balance but the answer you are looking for is ears.

@atensnut Yes! Finally an honest appraisal of one of these simplistic puzzles. You don’t have to be a genius to solve this! You should be able to do it in your head! So long as you know gradeschool arithmetic.
