Can You Outsmart This Tricky Math Puzzle? 90% Get It Wrong!
Remember those math lessons from your school days? This challenge might take you right back—only now, it’s not quite so easy!
Let’s see if you can crack this brainteaser that’s stumped most adults. It looks simple, but don’t be fooled. Many forget the order of operations—and that’s where things get tricky.
Here’s the challenge:
Can you solve this equation?
🧠 It’s time to dust off those brain cells and put your math skills to the test!
Most people get it wrong on their first try. Will you?
The Puzzle:
A
B
C
(We’ll reveal the equation below—but try solving it first!)
The Reveal:
Here’s the twist: look closely at the numbers. Notice that there’s no sign between some of the digits—so for example, a “2” followed by another “2” with no symbol becomes 22, not two separate numbers.
Also, don’t forget your math rules: multiplication comes before addition when there are no parentheses.
So let’s break it down:
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 22 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 22 + 2 × 0 + 2 = ?
Following the correct order of operations:
- First, handle multiplication:
2 × 0 = 0 - Now do the addition:
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 22 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 22 + 0 + 2 = 60
✅ Final Answer: 60
