    To those saying it's too easy: well, that's the point. Back then, college admission wasn't competitive, because only a handful of people had the time and money to travel to Cambridge, Massachusetts and spend years without a job. So the only purpose of exams was to assess whether you have the basic aptitude needed to learn the stuff taught at MIT, not to decide which highly qualified candidate was better than the 100 other candidates vying for the same position.

School has traumatized a lot of students into doubting themselves when approaching questions and this is evidence of me being said student. Damn.

    It's mostly because around the world the education system actually teaches you a thing or two. I'm born and raised mostly in Canada but did a few years of school in Romania, and this problem I can tell you for certain that someone in grade 5 could solve without difficulty, whereas here I'm sure most people who even graduated highschool here might struggle. It's not necessarily that they're flexing, it's more that they're laughing at how stupid NA's education is.

    when x^3+a^2y is 0, the original fraction is 0/0 and therefore undefined. your simplification only has to match the original question on its domain (which it does), you just can't use your simplification's new domain to say things about the original version
