Hello readers!
In my previous blog post, I asked the readers to spot the factual mistake(s) that I might have or might not have made in the solution (of mine) to one delicious inequality problem.
Today, I am going to discuss with you the mistake that I intentionally made.

Hello all!
Today I'm going to post something that is going to be very different than my style in my previous blog posts, as today I wanted to train students to spot the factual mistake(s) that I might have or might not have made in the following solution (of mine) to today's delicious inequality problem.

Prove the following inequality holds: $\sqrt{(\log_3a^b +\log_3a^c)}+\sqrt{(\log_3b^c +\log_3b^a)}+\sqrt{(\log_3c^a +\log_3c^b)}\le 3\sqrt{6}$.
Let the reals $a, b, c∈(1,\,∞)$ with $a + b + c = 9$.
Prove the following inequality holds:
$\sqrt{(\log_3a^b +\log_3a^c)}+\sqrt{(\log_3b^c +\log_3b^a)}+\sqrt{(\log_3c^a +\log_3c^b)}\le 3\sqrt{6}$.
