Only 10% Get This Right on the First Try – Can You?
Get ready for a little trip down memory lane — back to the math you thought you’d never need again. This puzzle is deceptively simple… until you realize you’ve forgotten the rules that made it all make sense.
Think you’ve got what it takes to crack this one?
We’re about to hit you with a classic school-level math problem — but don’t be too confident. Most adults struggle with it, especially if high school math feels like ancient history. One key rule often gets overlooked… and that’s where it all falls apart.
Here’s the challenge:
Can you solve the equation below without making a mistake?
A
B
C
Take a moment. Don’t rush.
Try to remember the order of operations — it’ll make all the difference.
The Answer:
Look closely. The trick lies in spotting that certain numbers aren’t what they seem.
See those “2”s at the end of some lines? There’s no sign between them and the next “2” — which means they’re actually part of a 22. That changes everything.
And don’t forget: multiplication comes before addition, always, unless parentheses say otherwise.
So when you break it all down:
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 22 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 22 + 2 × 0 + 2 = 60
Got it right? Congratulations — you’re in the top 10%!
