Good point. I updated the description.

I respect your opinion.

For many people, this problem has appropriate wording, while for others it's misinterpreted. In real-world scenarios, being able to reach out and discuss with others and doing investigation is what makes a difference between a substandard and a great developer.

There is no reason the discussion forums should be a required reading material instead of proper wording.

You share a similar concern that has been brought up and explained several times in the Discussion, but one of the key reasons I've decided to leave the prompt as-is comes down to this: the language used in this problem is the closest to what I was given during my interview for the company I work at now. Talking with the interviewer and getting more details on the specification that I was unclear about is just as valuable a skill as knowing how to code up a solution is, and since the Discussion posts serve as an informal documentation of sorts, having users who aren't certain of their understanding of a problem learning to supplement it with research is an additional lesson they can gain while working on this problem.
