Can you pass this intelligence test sweeping the Internet?




For most people, their maths skills aren’t as sharp as they use to be compared to when they were at school.

Of course, if you’re a mathematician, engineer, scientist or banker, that wouldn't be the case.

However for the rest of us who don’t use maths in our day-to-day lives, problems like x + y = (x - y) (x + y) and ?+? = 123 probably give you anxiety.

One maths genius on YouTube has created a test that separates the true whizzes from the rest.

Shared on Facebook over three million times, the video above shows you the intelligence test rule: x + y = (x - y) (x + y) you need to use to work out: ?+? = 123, using the number pattern below for help:

6 + 4 = 210
9 + 2 = 711
8 + 5 = 313
5 + 2 = 37
7 + 6 = 113
9 + 8 = 117
10 + 6 = 416

Creator of the video Presh Talwalker claims most of the people who shared his video, don’t in fact fully understand the "Intelligence Test," which apparently proves you have an IQ of more than 150.

Talwalker says of the test, “If you understand the rule you should be able to solve this problem.”

So, can you figure it out?

The last two digits of the answer are the sum of the two numbers, while the first digit is the difference.
The last two digits of the answer are the sum of the two numbers, while the first digit is the difference.

To solve ?+? = 123, Talwalker explains you need to split 123 into 1 and 23.

You need to use your algebra skills to solve what numbers subtracted give 1 but when added give 23.

? + ? = 123
? + ? = 123

Well done, you’re a maths genius!

No need to dull your maths skills to nil next time someone tries to challenge you to a maths duel.
