Mathematics brain teasers offer a perfect blend of entertainment and intellectual stimulation, turning downtime into a fun challenge. These brain teasers, ranging from simple arithmetic puzzles to complex algebraic equations, are a great way to sharpen your problem-solving skills, exercise your cognitive abilities, and delve into the fascinating world of numbers. Having said that, the internet is full of math puzzles that challenge users’ minds and keep their cognitive abilities sharp. Yet again, here’s a new challenge making waves on social media, and we bet it will leave you scratching your head.
Shared by a user named Brainy Quiz on X (formerly Twitter), the puzzle that has quickly caught the attention of thousands comes with three equations. The expression says: “5×2 = 10, 5+5 = 10, 5÷? = 10.”
If you think it’s a simple arithmetic problem, let us make it clear the challenge requires more than just basic calculations.
If you think the aforementioned puzzle was easy-peasy for you, here’s another challenging question. In this puzzle going viral, the math expression comes with an overlay text, “90% fail,” followed by four equations. It says: “3 + 5 = 24, 4 + 6 = 40, 5 + 7 = 60, and 9 + 7 = ??”
“90’⁹⁹% failed to solve this? If you are smart in MATH, then solve,” read the caption.
The brain teaser, shared a few hours ago, has already sparked curiosity and debate among internet users who are trying to find the answer to the math question. A majority of users confidently stated the answer was 144, while others struggled to crack the puzzle. A couple of users, uncertain about the answer, echoed both 117 and 151. A few also guessed the answer to be 96 or 153.
Another brain teaser shared on X puzzled the internet earlier. There wasn’t any mathematical question, but the challenge required users to count the total number of holes in a T-shirt featured in an image. At first glance, many assumed the answer to be two, but the reality is not so.
The T-shirt, set against a yellow background, has visible holes on both the front and back, making four intentional holes. Adding the standard openings, which are the neck hole, two armholes, and the bottom opening—the answer comes to eight.
Whether you’re a seasoned mathematician or a puzzle enthusiast, spare a few minutes and try to crack these tricky equations.
