Math Puzzle Will Challenge Your Brain

The answer is 30.

You have to look at the ends of the lines. Because there are no “+” signs at the end of the first and second lines, the “1” at the end of a line combines with the “1” at the start of the next line to form “11”.

The full equation becomes:

1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 11 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 11 + 1 x 0 + 1 = ?

Following the order of operations:

• Multiply first: 1 x 0 = 0

• Add everything left to right: 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 11 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 11 + 0 + 1 = 30
