      It became a meme a few years ago, people would post problems like this and argue about whose was right, as if there were no objective truth. It hurt to watch.

      In the rest of the world: yes.

      In the US: I highly doubt it.

      This is just basic math, if you can’t figure this out you’re probably 8 years old.

          Thanks for confirming. I probably sounded too condescending but I wasn’t sure if it was a false memory.

          I loved math as a kid though, so I ran through the curriculum as fast as I could to get to the good stuff. I think having older siblings helped - it gave me a preview of more interesting material.
