The puzzle that’s got X users talking

A brain teaser recently posted on X (formerly Twitter) by the account Brainy Quiz has stirred up fresh excitement. The puzzle reads:

“Tricky Maths: 6×0 = 6 ÷ 6 + 6”

At first glance, it seems straightforward. But users have been debating the correct approach and final answer in the comments. Some are applying standard BODMAS (Brackets, Orders, Division/Multiplication, Addition/Subtraction) rules, while others are coming up with alternate logic to crack it.

An older teaser still doing the rounds

This isn’t the first time Brainy Quiz has baffled the internet. An earlier teaser also gained traction on the platform. It read:

“1+1=8, 2+2=64, 3+3=?”

Unlike conventional equations, this one invites out-of-the-box thinking. The puzzle uses pattern recognition rather than basic arithmetic, and many users admitted to scratching their heads for quite some time.

Social media’s favourite mind game

Brain teasers like these continue to flood platforms like X and Instagram, captivating users for hours. While some see them as a fun way to challenge the brain, others admit they’re just in it for the entertainment (and chaos) of seeing people argue over maths.
