We present to you some exciting mathematical puzzles that you may find difficult to solve, but that is actually the strong point of the challenge. While we usually present simply a set of math puzzles, today we present a twist. Wondering what it is? Read the rules and you will know them.
The rules:
The rules of these math puzzles are quite simple and straightforward. You are allowed to use paper and pen so there is no pressure of mental calculations, you are even allowed to use the calculator when necessary. However, the one thing you can’t do is spend more than 15 seconds on a single math puzzle. Yes, you read it right. All you have to do is set a timer on your phone for just 15 seconds before moving on to each math puzzle. Start solving the math puzzle right when the timer starts. Stop right when it beeps and move on to the next one. Yes, it will feel like an exam, but don’t worry, we won’t give any grades, so you can have it just as much fun.
