The order in which tasks are performed is knowledge that is usually acquired at the 4th grade level. Meanwhile, it turns out that later in life we do not use it often, which means that some of the rules evaporate from our minds. See if you can solve our equation.
Math puzzles for adults and more. Solve the equation
Riddles are unflaggingly popular on the Internet. We often spend a few minutes looking for a missing element in a photo, something that doesn’t fit in a graphic or crossing out words from rows and columns of letters. It is not only a simple way to exercise your mind and take a break, but also have fun. They are equally popular with the queen of sciences, mathematics, in the main role. Can you solve the addition and multiplication equation?
A simple math puzzle? 1 in 10 people solve it
The math we have prepared is nothing more than an equation to which the correct result must be provided. What does it look like? All you need to do is answer the question how much is 60+60×0+1. Seems simple? Maybe. But before you give the result, you better think twice because many people fall into the trap. If you don’t want a hint, do not scroll down, because you will find them under the photo. The correct result will also appear at the bottom.

A math puzzle with the order of operations. What is the answer?
A similar equation was recently published on , from which Internet users could also choose one of three answers: 1, 61 and 122. It turns out that even this simplification did not help, and even made the whole task more difficult, because in the comments most people pointed to the wrong result. The most common answer was 1.
1, because anything times 0 is nothing
– explained one of the users. Which answer ultimately turned out to be correct? The result is: 61. It’s all because of the order in which the actions are performed. So first there are parentheses, then powers, then multiplication and division from left to right, and finally addition and subtraction, also from left to right. Taking the equation 60+60×0+1, just follow these rules. First we do multiplication, the result of which is zero, so: 60+0+1= 60+1=61.
