A brain teaser, being called ''fruit algebra'' was shared by facebook user Lisa Woelke on January 30. Since then, the puzzle has been liked over half a million times, shared a little over 158,000 times, and a staggering 2.5 million people have commented on it, most of them arguing over the answer.
Why? Because it looks really simple, but it isn’t at all:
What do you think the answer is?
Most people can figure out that apples equal 10, banana clusters equal 4, and two halves of a coconut equals 2.
So, if you think the answer is 16, you would be wrong. If you were a bit more perceptive, you may have noticed that the last equation only features half a coconut, and (like me) quickly guessed 15. You (and I) would also be wrong.
That’s because the cluster in the last image is missing one banana, making it worth 3 in the last equation. Meaning the answer is 14.
