We gathered up a list of some of the hardest math problems going around the Internet right now. See if you can solve all of these without using a calculator! Then brag to your friends and see how many they can solve on their own: 1. This math problem actually has two possible answers... which one is actually correct? Remember, there are two common solutions to this math problem. See if you can find both of them. Okay, ready for the solutions? First, add the equation. After, combine the sum of that equation to the previous equation. 1 + 4 5 2 + 5 7. So add the first sum of the previous equation, like so: 5 + 7 12 3 + 6 9, so add 9 + 12 21. Solution: 8 + 11 19, so add 19 + 21 40. Did you get another answer? Let's find the other solution to this math problem. Instead of simply adding, you can multiply the second number by the number you are adding to it. 1 + (4 x 1) 5 2 + (5 x 2) 12 3 + (6 x 3) 21 Solution: 8 + (11 x 8) 96 What do you think? Which answer did you get? Do you think they are both correct? 2. This one seems easy but has stumped millions of people... If you tried to solve the math question we previously posted, this one also uses PEMDAS. Remember you go in order from left to right: Parentheses/Brackets, Exponents/Orders, Multiplication-Division, and then Addition-Subtraction. Have you figured it out yet? The correct answer is 9! If you got 1 as your answer, you might be using a different version of PEMDAS that was taught way back in the day before 1917. 3. Can you figure out Cheryl's Birthday in this math problem?
