Here we have the “clickbait” finale! After the aunt’s recipe and the mysterious object, it’s time for a math puzzle for geniuses. These examples are fascinating in that they are not really about genius, but about attention to detail and basic rules that we learned in fifth grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are usually one of two types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$$6 \\div 2(1 + 2) = ?$$<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wrong reasoning: People first multiply $2 \\times 3$, get $6$, and the result is 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Correct reasoning: The parentheses are worked from left to right. $6 \\div 2 = 3$ and $3 \\times 3 =$ 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the first line, there are 3 apples = 30 (one is 10).
In the second, there are 2 bunches of 4 bananas.
But in the last line, there are only 3 bunches of bananas, and there is only half a coconut.
The genius notices that the number of pieces of fruit has changed, while the others are still counting with the same values.
Why do we enjoy it so much?
These examples are designed to make us feel: \u201cIt\u2019s obvious, everyone else is stupid!\u201d This motivates us to write that comment and share it further. It\u2019s a great psychological trick to increase the reach of posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, what \u201cproblem for geniuses\u201d do you have in mind? Sure, if we can solve it right away!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
