Here are some fun, tricky and hard to solve maths problems that will challenge your thinking ability.

1. If 1=3

2=3

3=5

4=4

5=4

Then, 6=?

Answer: is 3, because ‘six’ has three letters

1. What is the number of parking space covered by the car?

This tricky math problem went viral a few years back after it appeared on an entrance exam in Hong Kong… for six-year-olds. Supposedly the students had just 20 seconds to solve the problem!

Answer:

Believe it or not, this “math” question actually requires no math whatsoever. If you flip the image upside down, you’ll see that what you’re dealing with is a simple number sequence.

1. Replace the question mark in the above problem with the appropriate number.

Answer:

1. Which number is equivalent to 3^(4)÷3^(2)

This problem comes straight from a standardized test given in New York in 2014.

Answer:

1. There are 49 dogs signed up for a dog show. There are 36 more small dogs than large dogs. How many small dogs have signed up to compete? 

This question comes directly from a second grader’s math homework.

Answer:

To figure out how many small dogs are competing, you have to subtract 36 from 49 and then divide that answer, 13 by 2, to get 6.5 dogs, or the number of big dogs competing. But you’re not done yet! You then have to add 6.5 to 36 to get the number of small dogs competing, which is 42.5. Of course, it’s not actually possible for half a dog to compete in a dog show, but for the sake of this math problem let’s assume that it is.

1. Add 8.563 and 4.8292.

Answer:

Adding two decimals together is easier than it looks. Don’t let the fact that 8.563 has fewer numbers than 4.8292 trip you up. All you have to do is add a 0 to the end of 8.563 and then add like you normally would.

1. I am an odd number. Take away one letter and I become even. What number am I?

Answer: 
Seven (take away the ‘s’ and it becomes ‘even’).

1. Using only an addition, how do you add eight 8’s and get the number 1000?

1. 3 Friends went to a shop and purchased 3 toys. Each person paid Rs.10 which is the cost of one toy. So, they paid Rs.30 i.e. total amount. The shop owner gave a discount of Rs.5 on the total purchase of 3 toys for Rs.30. Then, among Rs.5, Each person has taken Rs.1 and remaining Rs.2 given to the beggar beside the shop. Now, the effective amount paid by each person is Rs.9 and the amount given to the beggar is Rs.2. So, the total effective amount paid is 9*3 = 27 and the amount given to beggar is Rs.2, thus the total is Rs.29. Where has the other Rs.1 gone from the original Rs.30?

Answer: 

The logic is payments should be equal to receipts. We cannot add the amount paid by persons and the amount given to the beggar and compare it to Rs.30.The total amount paid is ₹27. So, from ₹27, the shop owner received 25 rupees and beggar received ₹ 2. Thus, payments are equal to receipts.

1. How to get a number 100 by using four sevens (7’s) and a one (1)?

Any mathematics practiced by the peoples of Mesopotamia (now Iraq), from the time of the ancient Sumerians through the Hellenistic era and almost up to the advent of Christianity, is referred to as Babylonian mathematics. The old Babylonian period began a few hundred years into the second millennium BC, and the last few centuries of the first millennium BC was when the majority of Babylonian mathematics was created (Seleucid period). Because Babylon played a significant role as a center of learning, it was given the moniker Babylonian mathematics. Later, Mesopotamia, particularly Baghdad, rose to prominence as a hub for Islamic mathematics research throughout the Arab Empire.

The majority of the information about Babylonian mathematics comes from more than 400 clay tablets that have been discovered since the 1850s, as opposed to the limited number of sources for Egyptian mathematics. Tablets with Cuneiform writing were carved while the clay was still wet, then hardened in an oven or under the sun. Some of them seem like graded assignments. The ancient Sumerians, who established the earliest civilization in Mesopotamia, are responsible for the earliest examples of written mathematics. Beginning about 3000 BC, they created a sophisticated system of metrology. The Sumerians began writing multiplication tables on clay tablets circa 2500 BC, and they also dealt with division issues and geometrical exercises. This is also the timeframe for the earliest indications of Babylonian numerals.

Sexagesimal (base-60) numerals were used to represent mathematical concepts in Babylonian writing. The contemporary usage of the terms 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 360 (60 6) degrees in a circle, and seconds and minutes of arc to represent fractions of a degree all originate from this. The sexagesimal system was most likely chosen because 60 can be split in half equally by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, and 30. Additionally, the Babylonians, unlike the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, had a place-value system in which the numbers written in the left column corresponded to bigger values, similar to the decimal system.

Because fractions could be represented in the Babylonian notational system just as readily as whole numbers, multiplying two numbers that contained fractions was equivalent to multiplying integers, just like it is in current notation. The Babylonians had the greatest notational system of any culture up to the Renaissance, and because of this, they were able to attain astounding computing precision; for instance, the Babylonian tablet YBC 7289 provides an estimate of 2 that is exact to five decimal places. However, because the Babylonians lacked a sign for the decimal point, it was sometimes necessary to deduce the place value of a symbol from its context. The Babylonians created a zero symbol for vacant places by the time of the Seleucids, although it was only used in intermediate locations. Due to the absence of the zero sign at terminal places, the Babylonians came close to creating a genuine place value system but fell short.

Fractions, algebra, quadratic and cubic equations, and the computation of regular numbers and their reciprocal pairings are further topics addressed by Babylonian mathematics. A remarkable accomplishment for the time, the tablets also contain techniques for solving linear, quadratic, and cubic problems as well as multiplication tables. The Pythagorean theorem was first expressed on tablets that date to the Old Babylonian era. However, unlike Egyptian mathematics, Babylonian mathematics has no understanding of the distinction between precise and approximative solutions, the solvability of a problem, or, more significantly, the necessity for proofs or logical principles.

Mathematics written in the Egyptian language is referred to as Egyptian mathematics. Greek began to take the place of Egyptian as the written language of Egyptian scholars throughout the Hellenistic era. After Arabic was adopted as the written language of Egyptian intellectuals, mathematics was still being studied in Egypt under the Arab Empire as a branch of Islamic mathematics. According to archeological data, Sub-Saharan Africa may have served as the genesis region for the Ancient Egyptian numbering system. Additionally, Egyptian architecture and cosmological symbols feature fractal geometric patterns, which are common in Sub-Saharan African civilizations.

The Rhind papyrus, which is often sometimes called the Ahmes papyrus for its author, is the most comprehensive Egyptian mathematical treatise. It is dated to around 1650 BC, but it is most likely a copy of an earlier work from the Middle Kingdom, which lasted from around 2000–1800 BC. It is a textbook with instructions for geometry and algebra. It also contains evidence of other mathematical knowledge, such as composite and prime numbers, arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means, and simplified understandings of both the Sieve of Eratosthenes and perfect number theory, in addition to providing area formulas and methods for multiplying, dividing, and working with unit fractions (namely, that of the number 6). Additionally, it demonstrates how to resolve arithmetic and geometric series as well as first-order linear equations.
