A better way to solve the fast ones
Slow down the two-second puzzle.
Compare the conventions, see the fork in the reasoning, and leave with an answer you can actually defend.
Your expression

Make the hidden step visible.
This lens does not pretend a screenshot contains more information than it does. It shows the expression you entered, runs two named interpretations, and keeps your chosen convention attached to the exported card.
That makes the next puzzle faster: less guessing, more explaining.
