I suspect people might be getting confused by this because of colloquialisms like “divided in half”, “divided in the middle”, “divided by two”
things is, math doesn’t care about idioms
another area in mathematics that I’ve seen ppl (myself included lmao) suffer from this is propositional logic. like with the non exclusive nature of the OR operator

if it makes you feel any better, I did a couple semesters on math college plus a couple years on computer engineering and recently went to a therapist… When they asked me how old I was, I couldn’t calculate my age for the life of me
I stayed about 2 fucking minutes trying to calculate it… And in the end it wasn’t even the right age lmao
Wait until you find out 0,99… (repeating nines forever) equals 1
sorry for this lmao
if you were to beat up your grampa, you’d beat’em till their face showed what colour?
