Creative interpretations also surfaced, as some participants considered the proximity of the written word “midnight” in the options. This led to the selection of option “A” by those who associated it closely with the word itself.
The Role of AI in Resolving the Puzzle
In the midst of the debate, some participants turned to artificial intelligence for assistance. The chatbot ChatGPT provided a straightforward solution, stating, “The closest time to midnight would be D. 12:03 a.m.”
The Controversy of Multiple Correct Answers
Amidst the fervent discussions, a commenter pointed out the potential for confusion among young learners and argued that the question might have more than one correct answer. The distinction between interpretations, such as the closest time until the next midnight or raw minutes forward or back, was highlighted as a source of frustration and potential dislike for mathematics among students.
As the online debate rages on, the question remains: Which option would you choose, and do you agree that this puzzling question can have multiple correct answers based on different interpretations?
