You could be a math GENIUS if you can solve an “easy” riddle in 20 seconds
MATH lovers, lo and behold, a brain teaser that will put you to the test.
TikToker MathPuzzles revealed a fun little challenge – but can you figure out the answer?
With the first answers we get an idea of where to go.
So the first one is simple: 1 + 5 = 6.
After that, the usual pattern goes well.
The TikToker claims only 10 percent of people can figure it out.
But we suspect there are many more that can do it.
The next sum is 2 + 6, which somehow equals 14.
And after that, it’s 3 + 7, which makes 24.
Then 4 + 8 = 36.
So what is the last pair equal?
It says 5 + 9 – and the answer is not 14.
The correct answer is actually 50.
For those who don’t know how to do it, it’s quite simple.
The answer to the previous question is sneakily inserted into the mix every time.
So the last question was actually 36 + 5 + 9, which equals 50.
