Original title of the article: People almost always get this simple math problem wrong: Can you solve it?
The question goes: “A bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat costs $1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?”
Those tricky questions that trip up AIs? Guess what, many of them trip up humans too, and for the same reason ("intuitive" thinking where you think you just know the answer) (article from 3.07.2023)

Edited the body of the post to make it less misleading.

I think that I will make a new rule where the first thing in the body of the post should be the full original title of the article/paper if the title of the post is not the same.
Edit: added rule 11 and rule 0.
