Question 1210473
.
.
If ST = 2, QS = 4, and PT = 5, find PQ.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Another version of the Artificial Intelligence (the Google Overview) treats the problem differently,
than @CPhill treats it, using different interpretation, and obtains very different answer PQ = 15.

=======================================================


In Math, there is a golden and immutable rule: the problem formulation must be complete, clear, precise, 
and unambiguous. In this case, the points and line segments are introduced, but it is unclear what figure 
or configuration they refer to.


In school mathematics, formally speaking, such problems are not accepted and are considered as defective.
Therefore, when I see a stream of such defective problems at this forum last days, which, moreover, are 
intentionally made defective, I want to ask: dear sirs, did you fall out of a tree and hit your heads? 
And do you need urgent medical attention?


Dear sirs, do you intend to follow these golden and immutable rules of mathematics?
Or have you come to break them?


You must understand that if you undermine these immutable rules, it will sow corruption in the minds 
of schoolchildren, and they will not take mathematics seriously at all.


God forbid if your exercises damage the already shaky system of mathematics education in this country.
Then generations to come will curse you for your so called artificial intelligence, and quite rightly so.
