Do you love those little challenges that pop up while you’re scrolling and suddenly make you feel like you’re back in school? This new, viral math puzzle has exactly the same effect. Seemingly simple, yet it’s surprised thousands of internet users. And what’s worse?

A math puzzle that catches the eye.
It all started with a post that went viral on X, a social network where intellectual challenges often achieve great success. The principle is simple: propose a short, clear, almost childish equation… and watch the comments explode. Here, the puzzle combines logic and calculation, two powerful ingredients when combined.
On paper, it seemed simple enough. However, many hesitated, repeated themselves, and doubted their own assumptions. This only proves that even the simplest mathematics can hide a nasty trap.
