Can you solve this Math Challenge of 7? | Do it in 7 seconds

You already know that we love the whole team to ask you logical riddles, such as The riddle of coffee cups, and some other mathematical challenge to make you think.We are sure that you are one of those bright and fast minds and that you can give solution to the next mathematical challenge that we bring you.

To curl the curl, and since the mathematical operation goes from number 7, we challenge you to find the solution on 7 seconds, do you dare?

The best thing about math is that they do not allow interpretations, either it is white or black, or it is correct or incorrect, so you should know that the mathematical challenge that we present below has only one solution.

Presentation of the mathematical challenge

Can you solve this Math Challenge of 7? | Do it in 7 seconds

The following algebra problem is apparently very simple to solve, however, it is true frustrating entity to see how most people give a wrong solution to the mathematical operation.

The next mathematical challenge was presented by Presh Talwalkar, presenter of the MindYourDecisions math channel, on YouTube and then I create a strong discussion about which of the answers presented was correct.

Let's see what is the approach to discord:

7 + 7 ÷ 7 + 7 × 7-7=?

If you are quick with math, and more after challenging you to do it in 7 seconds, you will surely have missed some very important details to solve the equation.In a quick race to find the solution as soon as possible, surely your mind will have given you the solution: 56.

We deeply regret to tell you that your mind has precipitated and that 56 is not the correct answer.

You will surely claim that you have followed the operations one by one and that you have even reviewed the result several times (we hope you did not do it with a calculator) and, nevertheless, it continues giving you 56 as a result.

We have to tell you that the detail that you have overlooked is one of the main mathematical rules, the PEMDAS norm of the mathematical order.According to this important rule, the mathematical problems must be solved in the following order: Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition and finally Subtraction.

According to this rule, We cannot solve this mathematical challenge by doing the operations one by one and in order.Here it is not worth applying that of the order of the factors does not alter the product. In mathematics, this statement corresponds to the commutative property and It is a fundamental property that some operations possess according to which, the result of operating two elements does not depend on the order in which they are taken and we can only find it in the sum and in the multiplication.It is evident that in the mathematical challenge that we present to you, there more operations to do besides addition and multiplication, therefore, is not valid.

The way to proceed to adequately solve this equation is with the use of parentheses, even if they are imaginary In that way, we will separate the equations that we must solve first in groups.

This would be the graphic, or mental, way of representing this challenge:

7 + ( 7 ÷ 7) + (7 × 7)-7=?

First we will solve the operations that are within a parenthesis.And we will get the following:

7 + (1) + (49)-7=?

Then we cancel the parentheses to reduce the operation to something as simple as this:

8 + 49-7=?

At this point the error is no longer possible and it is about adding 49 to 8 and subtracting it 7.The solution then for this mathematical challenge is 50, very different from the previous result of 56 that we obtained before applying the PEMDAS standard.

What do you think of the mathematical challenge we have proposed? Have you been able to solve it at first or have you needed some help with our explanation? In any case we hope that you have entertained a little while trying to solve it.

If you are one of those curious minds who like this type of riddles and you have learned little about our mathematical challenge of 7, we want to propose another challenge for you to put your neurons to work do you do you point?

The next challenge is a challenge posed to elementary students and that has become a challenge for adults after a twitter user has published it on networks.

The exercise consists in filling in the missing numbers in the following diagram, it seems simple but finding the pattern that leads you to the correct answer is not.The problem statement says: The number located within the 4 sectors of the outer circle is the same to the sum of the 3 numbers next to their sector.The numbers in the individual circles can only be from 1 to 9 and each of them can only be used once.It is provided to start the number 3 that is located in the center, find the 4 hidden numbers.

There are many proposals for answers, there are even those who pointed to an error in the statement, however and as we said in the previous case, there is only one correct answer.

The answer to the math challenge of primary school children

To give the answer is about making a kind of sudoku, since that each space can only be occupied by a figure.We leave the resolved graph that is much more explanatory.

What do you think of these two mathematical challenges? How have they been given to you? Surely you know of some mathematical challenge that you can ask us Do you dare?

Did the Egyptians know the sperm ?!

We have dedicated many articles to Egypt, among them: "the doctors of ancient Egypt", "Hitler's bewildering love for Nefertiti", "the Book of the Dead"...Today we want to present a anecdote more than Curious: A sperm appears on an exterior relief of the Luxor Temple.After discovering it, the researchers, like you, wondered, is it really a sperm? Judging by the image, it is exactly the same as one...We discover the answer to the riddle! The sperm of the Temple of Luxor In the exterior of the Temple of Luxor There is a religious scene in which the God Amon-Min appears with a erection, ejaculating, in which a sperm is perfectly represented (as you can see in the following video). How can it be? How could the Egyptians know sperm if they are only visible with a microscope of at least 1080 magnification? The God Min is one of the oldest deities of Egypt , appears in the pre-Dynastic era; he is represented as a man with erect penis...

And you, also "procrastins"?

And you? Procrastines too? If you don't, we are sure that you know someone who does it continuously and that, surely, makes you despair.But what does this disturbing word really mean? Let's give an example: you have been dating a person for a long time, you make plans for the future, you have many illusions and projects, however, your partner never seems to decide.He is unable to formalize your relationship because something like that, not only overwhelms him, but even He is lazy. "Are we not well like that?" I often reproach you. Let's give another example: you may have the classic friend who never seems to finish his studies.It is easy to be an "eternal" university student who faces the responsibilities and anxieties of the working world. And what about people who spend all their time in front of a computer screen letting out "real life" ? Sometimes, it is much easier to let ourselves go, evading responsibilities, than to put means t...
