Do you enjoy solving simple maths puzzles? Many people aim to sharpen their mental abilities and enhance logical thinking by solving mathematical and visual puzzles. These challenges demand a great deal of concentration and strong cognitive skills. Recently, a video has gone viral on social media, in which a woman asks another woman a basic maths question, but she fails to answer correctly. The video has attracted considerable attention on social media.
Though we learn new things every day, we often forget lessons from the past. When faced with similar questions, it’s common to struggle to recall the formulas needed to solve them. This was the case for the woman in the video, who was asked a simple maths question but couldn’t remember how to solve it.
In the viral video, a woman casually asks a random passer-by a basic maths question. She asks, “What is the answer to 3-8+1?” The woman thinks for a moment, and tries to calculate, but gets confused and asks for the question to be repeated. When asked again, she confidently answers, “6.” However, another person in the background points out that the correct answer is “-6.” The woman, frustrated, tells the person in the background not to give away the answer.
The video was shared from the account with the handle @thebrownishbros, with the caption, “Claire is back guys.” From the profile, it appears that this woman regularly creates videos where she asks random strangers simple maths puzzles.
The video has garnered 34.7 million views. Many users have shared their thoughts in the comments section, with some solving the puzzle and providing the correct answer. Numerous users stated that the correct answer is “-6,” while others guessed it to be “-4.” Although many agreed on “-6,” one user explained that according to the BODMAS rule, because it’s “-8” and not “+8,” the correct way to solve it is: “-8 + 1 = -7” and “-7 + 3 = -4.” Thus, the user claimed the correct answer was “-4.”
