Time for the answer
You are completely correct if… one of your answers was 40!
First problem: 1 + 4 = 5
Second problem: 2 + 5 (adding the previous sum, 5) = 12
Third problem: 3 + 9 (adding the previous sum, 12) = 21
Fourth problem: 8 + 11 (adding the previous sum, 21) = 40
But, what’s the other answer?!
The 2nd answer is revealed to be… 96!
First problem: 1 x 4 + 1 = 5
Second problem: 2 x 5 + 2 = 12
Third problem: 3 x 6 + 3 = 21
Fourth problem: 8 x 11 + 8 = 96
Did you solve both answers?
