Puzzle 1: Answer
Puzzle 2: Answer
If you found the math equation a little trickier than it looks, here is the answer.The correct answer is ... 104. Did you calculate out this figure, too? If not, here is how.
As we said, it’s all about the basics. Apply the order of operations: PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).
Start with the multiplication first: 25 x 0 gives us 0. That leaves us with 50 + 50 - 0 + 2 + 2, after deducting away that little zero, we arrive at 104.
If you got 104, you’re correct—pat yourself on the back. Wait for a second, yes, did you also hit the 5-second time check for this math equation? We are sure you did! And if you enjoyed these two quick puzzles, why not challenge your friends and find out who is the fastest? Share them away!
