Think you have a sharp mind? Well, brace yourself! We have a tricky equation that might just catch you off guard. Ready to test your mental agility? Let’s dive in!
Here’s the only equation you need to solve:
1 + 1 x 0 + 1 = 2
Looks simple, doesn’t it? But now, put on your thinking cap and remember the order of operations. In math, we follow the BODMAS/BIDMAS rules – Brackets, Orders (i.e., powers and square roots, etc.), Division and Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction. So, following that, we tackle the multiplication first. Here’s the breakdown:
1 + (1 x 0) + 1 = 1 + 0 + 1 = 2
Ta-da! The final answer is indeed 2. If you got it right, give yourself a pat on the back! Your mental agility is in the 99th percentile, which means you’re quite the sharp thinker. This ability to swiftly jump around in your thoughts, trying out different solutions and making fresh connections, is truly remarkable. Keep it up, and let us know in the comments if we’ve figured you out!
