Math equations that involve addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication are perhaps considered some of the easiest to solve. However, that is not usually the case, as many people have always found themselves sweating over these ‘simple’ math equations.

Are you one of those who sweat? Or are you among the smart lot?

There’s only one way to find out. If you can solve this equation below easily and fast enough, then you certainly need a pat on the back and an addition to the list of smart people.

So, you’re ready?

Here’s the equation. Can you solve it?

It’s a no-brainer.

Well, get your brain to action. Is your brain wondering too much? Hopefully, you have the right answer by now. Write it down but don’t peep to the correct answer down there just yet. The time to view it will come sooner.

This equation aims to tease your brain a little and test your speed as well. While you’re still wondering whether you got the correct answer or not, let’s have a look at some of the benefits of a brainteaser.

Why You Should Have More Brainteasers

Your brain can inevitably get dull and tired for several reasons. However, when you engage in brainteasers like the equation above, you give your brain more reasons to be alive and active.

More benefits of brainteasers to your brain and body include:

You should fully enjoy all of these benefits every day by making it a habit to solve puzzles.

Now that you know the benefits of a brainteaser let’s find out if you solved it correctly.

The Solution

The correct answer is 61.

But how did it come by; you may ask?

Beginning with the multiplication, 60 x 0 = 0

This leaves the equation reading: 60 + 0 + 1 =?

Making the additions: 60 + 0 + 1 = 61

Hence the correct answer is 61.
