To challenge your calculation skills, we offer you this interesting and seemingly easy puzzle, the key to which lies in the order. Can you find the result of the following problem? We leave you with a clue: the result is neither 1 nor 12. Go ahead!

The result is 30. Why? Very simple, as mentioned before, the key is the order. In the absence of parenthesis, all multiplications and divisions go first. With this in mind, the first calculation is multiplication 1 x 0.
Then, 0 is added to remaining numbers. The double 1s that don’t have any plus sign in between are considered to be 11s, therefore 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 11 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 11 + 0 + 1 = 30.

Only a few people pass this test: How many M’s can you see in this picture?
You have 10 seconds to solve this puzzle. Look at a picture full of W’s, your task is to figure out how many M’s are hidden in the image.
I shared this puzzle with 3 of my relatives – and nobody answered correctly on the first attempt. Of course, it will be easier if you take more than 10 seconds, so don’t cheat.
Let‘s start – how many M’s do you see in this picture?
