The question is about “superpermutations”. The permutations of 1 and 2 are “12” and “21”. A “superpermutation” would be “1221”. It contains the numbers 1 and 2 as well as all permutations of 1 and 2. However “121” is also a superpermutation of 1 and 2. It also contains “12” and “21” and it’s shorter than “1221”.
The problem is finding the shortest superpermutation. Stand-up Maths has a video where he interviews a mathematician that published Anonymous’ solution. So yes, there is a math paper where the main author is “Anonymous 4chan Poster”.
Meh, just put your question and wrong answer in a meme and post it anywhere, within an hour everyone will correct it with the right answer 😂
Or post your question with a picture of Kurisu Makise saying “you should be able to solve this”
That’s how they got a 4chan user to post the solution to an unsolved math problem
I’m clearly not understanding the problem, because I think the only answer is 14!. What am I getting wrong?

Holy shit that’s actually amazing
Obviously thats so wrong. The correct answer is to pray for the answer and keep taking naps until you get your answers.

It’s Murphy’s law
It’s actually Cunningham’s Law
Quite often it gets corrected with another wrong answer.
