This viral math puzzle is a fun exercise in pattern recognition! By following the established cumulative pattern, each equation uses the result from the previous step as part of the current equation.
Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
First Equation: 1+4=5
Second Equation:2+5=7, then add the previous result (5):
7+5=12
Third Equation: 3+6=9, then add the previous result (12):
9+12=21
Final Equation: 5+8=13, then add the previous result (21):
13+21=34
The answer to the final equation, therefore, is 34.
This puzzle encourages looking beyond straightforward arithmetic and challenges our problem-solving skills. It’s a great example of how mathematical patterns can surprise and engage us!
