If you're a fan of these kinds of mental challenges, we've got a puzzle that's sure to twist your brain into knots. Shared by the X account Brainy Quiz, the teaser reads:
"IQ Test: 11 = 8, 22 = 64, 33 = 216, 44 = ?"
Check out the puzzle here:
At first glance, the equation looks nonsensical – but that's part of the fun. The real challenge is spotting the hidden pattern, which often involves creative thinking rather than straightforward calculations.
Before this, another number puzzle posted by the Facebook page Maths Tricks had users equally baffled. The riddle reads:
"111 = 21, 222 = 44, 223 = 46, 334 = ?"
While the format is different, the challenge is the same: identify the logic behind the number transformations. Many have tried to work it out, with different theories popping up in the comments.
So why do we keep coming back to these teasers? Part of their appeal lies in the sense of accomplishment when you finally crack the code. It's a test of logic, pattern recognition, and occasionally, sheer guesswork. More than that, these puzzles are easy to share and spark immediate conversation.
