Are You Smarter Than a Middle Schooler? Try to Solve This Tricky Maths Problem

Are you a math whiz, or are you a person who absolutely dreads math? It seems to me that there are two kinds of people in the world: those who enjoy math problems and those who do not. However, sometimes the fear of math comes from a lack of confidence in our ability. Even if we did our homework every day as kids and tried our best, the fact is that most of us may have forgotten a lot of basic math. However, one thing I’ve learned is that by doing puzzles and math problems regularly, you can get better at it.

For example, the image below is one that I figured out, and I miss a lot of math problems, believe me. However, because I’ve worked a problem like this before, I had an idea how to go about it. As it turns out, my guess was correct. Try to figure out the last number in this problem. Use your logic to think it through clearly. If you can’t figure it out, don’t worry. On the next page, we’ll give you the answer.
