Maths brain teasers are far from ordinary equations — they're riddles wrapped in numbers that challenge logic, defy expectations, and make you question everything you thought you knew in school. Whether you're a student, a puzzle enthusiast, or simply someone who enjoys putting their mental agility to the test, these numerical conundrums never fail to entertain and engage.

And if you're someone who relishes the thrill of untangling logic and numbers, there's a new teaser doing the rounds on Facebook.
A brain teaser recently shared by the Facebook page Minion Quotes has reignited the internet's fascination with tricky maths problems. Accompanied by the bold claim '90% fail,' the puzzle reads:
'2+2+2+2+2+2, 2+2+2+2+2+2, 2+2×0+2=?'
Check out the puzzle here:
At first glance, it appears to be a straightforward sequence. But the catch lies in the order of operations — and ignoring it is exactly where most solvers go wrong.
This isn't the first time a maths puzzle has sparked curiosity. Earlier, a teaser shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user @jitendra789789 left users scratching their heads. It read:
'4 + 3 = 14; 5 + 2 = 21; 6 + 1 = 28; 8 + 6 = ?'
Though these equations seem incorrect at face value, they often follow a hidden pattern or logical twist. Solving them requires lateral thinking — and that's what keeps them addictive.
Maths brain teasers are compelling because they stimulate both the analytical and creative sides of the brain. They offer a quick, satisfying challenge and a sense of reward when cracked.
Whether you're still working on it or already shouting the answer in triumph, one thing is certain — these brain teasers continue to bring joy, challenge, and a little bit of magic to our everyday scroll.

Is Kobe Bryant's widow Vanessa Bryant dating NBA star Jaylen Brown? New speculations go viral after pregnancy rumour

Social media is buzzing once again with a new wave of rumours surrounding Vanessa Bryant—and this time, it's not about a pregnancy. A series of recent online posts have linked the late Kobe Bryant's widow to NBA star Jaylen Brown, raising eyebrows across platforms. But is there actually anything going on, or is this just another baseless online frenzy? Viral collages stir up Vanessa Bryant and Jaylen Brown dating rumours In the past few days, fan accounts and gossip pages have flooded social media, including Facebook, X, and TikTok, with side-by-side images of Vanessa Bryant and Jaylen Brown. So far, neither Vanessa nor Brown has said a word about the chatter, and no outlet has confirmed any relationship between them. This isn't the first time Vanessa's love life has become internet fodder. Earlier this year, anonymous posts claimed she was seeing a 27-year-old NBA player, though no name was ever attached. Because Brown, now 28, fits that general description, many fans have retrofitted the rumour to him. Vanessa Bryant and Jaylen Brown possibilities Just like the pregnancy rumour, this may be fake too Not long ago, Vanessa had to deal with another false narrative: a rumour that she was expecting a child. The speculation started after a photo of her, which shows she has seemingly gained some weight, circulated online. It didn't take long for clickbait pages to claim she looked 'pregnancy glowing.' The rumour gained enough traction that Vanessa stepped in herself and shut it down — but in her own sassy way. Taking to her Instagram Stories last week, she posted a gif of Rihanna lounging in a pool, drink in hand, casually flipping off the camera. Along with the clip, Vanessa wrote, 'Me protecting my peace, not pregnant & having fun all summer.' She followed it up with another meme featuring Rihanna, this one reading, 'I'm not mean, I'm just not the one.' With just a couple of posts, Vanessa made it known that the rumours were false—and that she wasn't in the mood to entertain any more of them. No confirmation, just speculation To be clear, there's no official confirmation or solid evidence that Vanessa Bryant and Jaylen Brown are dating. They haven't been seen together in any intimate setting, and neither has posted anything that would suggest a romantic connection. Fans may be speculating based on minimal context, but without a statement or solid proof, it's all hearsay. Vanessa has remained extremely private about her personal life, especially following the tragic loss of Kobe and their daughter Gianna in 2020. She's focused on her family, philanthropic work, and keeping her late husband's legacy alive. Jaylen Brown, while a public figure on the court, is known to keep his personal matters relatively low-key as well. To stay updated on the stories that are going viral, follow Indiatimes Trending.

Honey Singh BREAKS Silence On Badshah's Viral Dua Lipa Comment, Calls Him 'Genius'

Last Updated: Yo Yo Honey Singh mocks Badshah's controversial 'make babies with Dua Lipa' comment with a sarcastic 'Genius' post, reigniting their decade-old rivalry. Amid the ongoing backlash surrounding rapper Badshah's controversial comment about British singer Dua Lipa, Honey Singh has chimed in — and his reaction is as loaded as it is brief. Responding to Badshah's public justification for his much-criticized statement, Honey Singh posted a one-word response on social media: 'Genius" — complete with laughing and clapping emojis. The post, which quickly went viral, is being widely interpreted as a sarcastic dig at his longtime rival, reigniting chatter about the two rap titans' famously fractured relationship. The moment in question began when Badshah, also known as Aditya Pratik Singh Sisodia, responded to a fan's question on X (formerly Twitter) about whether he'd rather collaborate with Dua Lipa or have kids with her. His blunt reply — 'Rather have babies with her" — drew swift criticism online, with many calling the comment 'cheap," 'objectifying," and 'just plain weird." Trying to do damage control, Badshah the next day defended his remark, calling it 'one of the most beautiful compliments you could give a woman you admire." He added, 'Meri soch nahi, tumhari soch saamne aayi hai," attempting to flip the controversy back on critics. But his 'clarification" only drew more heat — with social media users calling it 'delusional," 'a PR fail," and 'an even worse look than the original comment." I think one of the most beautiful compliments that you could give to a woman that you really admire is to wish for her to mother your children. Meri soch nahi tumhari soch saamne aayi hai.— BADSHAH (@Its_Badshah) June 7, 2025 Enter Honey Singh. Never one to shy away from subtle shade, the Desi Kalakaar singer dropped his 'Genius" comment on a post discussing Badshah's explanation. And while he didn't mention his former bandmate by name, the timing and context made his target unmistakably clear. For fans who've followed the long-running tension between the two, it was classic Yo Yo: cheeky, savage, and just cryptic enough to avoid being called out directly. Badshah and Honey Singh, once part of the same hip-hop crew Mafia Mundeer, have shared a decade-long love-hate relationship. Their creative fallout led to one of Indian music's most talked-about feuds — a cold war filled with diss lyrics, interview shade, and barely concealed one-upmanship. While both artists built massive solo careers post-split, their paths remained intertwined through constant comparison and occasional shots fired on social media. Last year, Badshah made headlines for seemingly putting the rivalry to rest. During his GraFest 2024 concert in Dehradun, he publicly acknowledged Honey Singh on stage, saying it was time for the industry to move beyond old grudges. The gesture was seen by many as a long-overdue truce. As for Dua Lipa, the British singer has yet to comment on the exchange — and given the scale of her global fame, she may never feel the need to. But for Badshah, the backlash at home continues to simmer, serving as a reminder that in the age of the internet, no 'joke" goes unchecked — especially when it comes at the expense of someone else.
