From personal experience, we got introduced to those in our 10th year (might have been 9th?), so I would have been 15 or 16 when I got introduced to the idea of formal proofs. The idea is fairly intuitive to me, but I also have a decent respect for people who seem to routinely produce correct answers via faulty reasoning.
so you consider those answers correct?
I assume you're refer to that?
A correct ANSWER is different from a correct METHOD. I treat an answer as correct if I can verify it.
Problem: X^2 = 9 Solution X=3
It doesn't matter how they arrived at "X=3", it's still correct, and I can verify that (3^2 = 9, yep!)
