As you indicated it is valid through the 4th step. Dividing by zero (X-Y) is not allowed. This confuses a lot of people so your initial premise in this thread may not be correct.
Here is a valid mathematical riddle:
You are a wildlife photographer at a small camp in the wilderness. You wake up in the morning and start looking for wildlife to take pictures of. You head 8 miles due south but don't see any animals to take a picture of. You continue by heading 8 miles due east and still don't see any animals to take a picture of. You then head 8 miles due north and see a bear in your camp so you take a picture.
The mathematical question is: What color is the bear?
Being well schooled in the old math, the answer of course is Kodachrome. If it is an Alaskan bear it would have been a Kodiakchrome color.
Cute answer even though mathematically incorrect
Well I tried. Anyway, seeing a bear ( or your camp) from eight miles away would be tough, unless…. Let’s just say it’s Polar Bear white. How cute is that!?
