Grade school math problem confuses people but the answer is actually easy - can you solve it in 30 seconds?
A seemingly simple math problem has left social media users confused as they argue over the correct answer. The equation, shared by user @BholanathDutta on X, appears simple enough for grade school students - but users were left with different answers. The problem reads: 4 - (4 ÷ 4) x 2 = ? Can you solve the problem within 30 seconds? At first glance, it looks like basic arithmetic that a typical middle schooler could solve. Yet users commented conflicting answers, causing a debate. The majority of respondents confidently answered 2, while others wrote that they believed the correct answer to be -2. The confusion stems from a simple math rule - the order of operations. The acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction) determines which calculations to perform first in math equations. It's important to break down the problem step by step. 4 - (4 ÷ 4) x 2 = ? First, solve what's inside the parentheses: 4 ÷ 4 = 1 This gives us: 4 - 1 x 2 Next, perform the multiplication: 1 x 2 = 2 Finally, subtract: 4 - 2 = 2 The correct answer is 2. Those who arrived at -2 likely made the mistake of working from left to right without following the proper order of operations. Others could have calculated: 4 - 4 = 0, then 0 ÷ 4 = 0, then 0 x 2 = 0, giving them an incorrect final answer. This type of math puzzle regularly goes viral on social media platforms. Last week, @BholanathDutta shared another math riddle with followers, asking 'Can you solve this #math' alongside an image decorated with colorful flowers. The post shows a calculation that looks simple: 500 + 450 ÷ 5. The post has now been viewed more than 3,000 times, with dozens of commenters sharing their answers. But not everyone agrees on the solution. The overwhelming majority of respondents believe the answer is 590, with many users showing their working to prove their point. One user methodically explained their approach. They wrote: '500 + 450 ÷ 5 = ? 450 ÷ 5 = 90, 500 + 90 = 590.'

Chinese ship runs aground off Philippines-occupied island in the disputed South China Sea
A Chinese ship ran aground in stormy weather in shallow waters off a Philippines-occupied island in the disputed South China Sea, prompting Filipino forces to go on alert, Philippine military officials said Sunday. When Filipino forces assessed that the Chinese fishing vessel appeared to have run aground in the shallows east of Thitu Island on Saturday because of bad weather, Philippine military and coast guard personnel deployed to provide help but later saw that the ship had been extricated, regional navy spokesperson Ellaine Rose Collado said. No other details were immediately available, including if there were injuries among the crewmembers or if the ship was damaged, Collado said. Confrontations have spiked between Chinese and Philippine coast guard and navy ships in the disputed waters in recent years. "The alertness of our troops is always there,' Col. Xerxes Trinidad of the Armed Forces of the Philippines told reporters. But when they saw that a probable accident had happened, 'we tried to provide assistance as professionals' in accordance with international law on helping distressed vessels at sea. "We're always following international law,' Trinidad said. Filipino villagers living in a fishing village on Thitu, which they call Pagasa island, immediately informed the Philippine military and coast guard after seeing the Chinese ship lying in the shallows about 1.5 nautical miles (2.7 kilometers) from their village, said MP Albayda, a local Filipino official, told The Associated Press. 'They got worried because the Chinese were so close but it was really the strong wind and waves that caused the ship to run aground," said Albayda, adding that other Chinese ships pulled the stricken vessel away. The stricken ship resembled what the Philippine military had repeatedly said were suspected Chinese militia ships, which had backed the Chinese coast guard and navy in blocking and harassing Philippine coast guard and military vessels in the disputed waters, a busy conduit for global trade and commerce. Thitu Island is home to a Philippine fishing village and Filipino forces and is the largest of nine islands and islets occupied by the Philippines. It lies about 26 kilometers (16 miles) from Subi Reef, which China transformed into an island base along with six other barren reefs to reinforce its claim to virtually the entire South China Sea. Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan are also involved in the long-simmering territorial standoffs, an Asian flashpoint that many fear could pit China and the United States in a major conflict. The U.S. does not lay any claim to the South China Sea but has repeatedly warned that it's obligated to defend the Philippines, it's longtime treaty ally, if Filipino forces, ships and aircraft come under an armed attack, including in the South China Sea.
