I think that all of us would like to be smart but sometimes, we may be lacking in intelligence. Quite honestly, we sometimes are smarter when we are in middle school than we are when we are an adult.
Of course, we may gather wisdom and over the course of years, we become smarter in that way. That doesn’t mean, however, that we aren’t lacking in some way or another and this math problem is a prime example.
When you look at the math problem, you might think that it is relatively simple. It’s an equation like we might do in math class when we are in middle school, but did you get the answer correct?
The fact is, most middle school students would get the answer correct every time but as adults, we are going to fall short of the mark. Go ahead and try it for yourself.
Keep the answer to yourself for the moment but consider the following. There are certain rules that we must follow in life, and this includes rules as far as how we do math problems.
Most of us understood those rules when we were in middle school but as adults, we may have forgotten many of them.
For now, we are going to provide you with the answer. Did you get the answer 61? If you did, you are absolutely correct.
The reason why this is difficult is because most people forget that they need to do the multiplication first. In other words, the equation ends up being 60+0+1 = 61
