There are two kinds of folks in the world. Those who love a good math problem and those who run screaming like it’s a skunk with a chainsaw. However, math is something we can’t really run from, it’s a part of the natural world, and within everything we do. Every movement, every action, requires math. If you just scratched, you instantaneously located a point on your skin with your hand and made contact. That was actually some high-level trigonometry, congrats!
Now when it comes to mathematical games and puzzles, it can take a keen understanding of certain principals to solve them. You see, the answer might seem easy enough at first glance, but it often hides behind tricky procedural rules that many people had long forgotten to follow. This math problem illustrates this point perfectly. Take a close look and see if you can come up with the correct answer.
