A viral video posted by @bowaledeen on Instagram has sparked a heated online debate over a simple math question: "What is half of 4 + 4?".
A simple math question posed by a woman in a viral video has ignited a heated debate online, leaving viewers scratching their heads. In the video, which @bowaledeen posted to Instagram, a woman is seen asking her partner, "What is half of 4 + 4?"
The man answers sharply and seemingly confidently, "Four." The woman, on the other hand, is not convinced by his response and maintains that the right answer is six. Social media users have been talking about and exchanging opinions about the ensuing fight nonstop.
Many users agreed with the woman's response, but some maintain that the man's explanation is equally reasonable. Some have noted that the uncertainty stems from the question's uncertainty, which leaves open whether "half" refers to the entire statement or only the number four.
