Brain teasers are a great way to get your brain working and have some fun, especially if you like puzzles involving numbers. There’s a new puzzle on social media that’s got everyone talking, and it’s perfect for anyone who enjoys a good mystery.

The Puzzle That’s Hard to Crack

Shared by the account “Maths/Technology & Other Facts” on X (which used to be Twitter), the puzzle says:
“A + A = 2, A + B = 3, A + B + C = 6, A + B + C x 4 = ?”

At first, it seems pretty simple, but the last part has left many people confused. The post has already gotten over 11,500 views, and people are rushing to the comments to share their answers and opinions.

What People Are Saying

People have had mixed feelings about the puzzle. Some are sure they found the right answer, while others are debating how to solve it. One user insisted, “The answer must be 24 because A + B + C equals 6, and multiplying it by 4 makes 24. Easy!”

Another person suggested, “But wait—doesn’t the order of operations matter? Shouldn’t we do it a different way?” Some users even doubted the logic of the puzzle. One wrote, “Does this even make sense? What are the rules for C?” Others just joked around: “I give up! Math was never my strong subject!”

A few creative thinkers offered unique ideas, like “What if C is undefined? That changes everything!” and “This seems more philosophical than mathematical—what does it all mean?”

A TikTok star, 34-year-old Annie Niu, caused a huge stir online after sharing a sad secret. She revealed that for many years, she pretended to be her twin sister, who passed away, to protect her grandparents from sadness. Annie’s twin sister died from viral meningitis five years ago, but her family decided not to tell the grandparents because they were worried it would hurt them too much.

Annie shared in a video that her dad suggested they keep it a secret. To keep the lie going, she even called her grandparents pretending to be her sister during holidays. This year, she finally told her grandmother, who is very ill, about her sister’s death.

Annie explained that they didn’t want to upset their grandparents, who are very old and fragile. After she revealed the truth, her family took down all the photos of her sister. Annie’s grandpa still doesn’t know what happened.

The video received mixed responses online. Some people felt sorry for the family, while others were confused about why they hid such an important truth for so long. One person wished the family well, while another thought it was unfair that they didn’t let the grandparents say goodbye to Annie’s twin

Kids everywhere look forward to Santa Claus sliding down chimneys to deliver gifts on Christmas. But in Fall River, Massachusetts, a man took the holiday spirit too far when he tried to hide from police—and got stuck in a chimney!

The trouble started when police arrived to search a home for drug-related crimes. When people living there saw the police, they panicked and tried to escape. Two men ran up to the roof. One man jumped down onto a parked car and got away. But the other man, Robert Langlais, decided to hide inside the chimney instead.

At first, Robert thought he had a clever plan, but soon he found out he was trapped! Ironically, he had to call for help from the very police officers he was trying to run from. They came to his rescue.

Langlais, 33, tried to be like Santa, but ended up getting stuck. The police humorously noted that they had to save him. The local fire department and emergency medical team also showed up to help get him out. After he was freed, Langlais was taken to the hospital to make sure he was okay and was cleared by doctors.

But things didn’t end there. Langlais faced serious charges, including drug possession and some old warrants. Another person at the house, Tanisha Ibay, 32, was also arrested for drug possession but without the dramatic chimney escape.

In India, teachers who work in education technology (or ed-tech) come up with fun ways to help their students learn tough subjects. They often use popular Bollywood songs and catchy Hindi phrases to make learning easier and more enjoyable. This unique style sometimes goes viral on social media, making people laugh and applaud the creativity.

In one recent video, a teacher from a famous ed-tech platform called Physics Wallah is shown trying to explain a tricky chemistry topic called chirality. Chirality is when a molecule or object cannot be placed over its mirror image, no matter how you twist or turn it.

While explaining how a certain chemical compound looks, the teacher had a hard time showing how it rotates. To fix this, he decided to become the molecule himself! In the video, he gets down on his hands and knees and shows how to move like the molecule would. He even tells his students, “Imagine my head is the COOH group,” as he stretches out his arms and legs. He cleverly connects chemistry with yoga by saying, “Now when I turn, my right will become left and left will become right.”

The video was shared online by a user who called it “absolute cinema.” People had mixed reactions. Some thought the teacher was very passionate, while others suggested he could have used models or 3D images instead of demonstrating with his body. A lot of comments mentioned he was teaching in a very unique way, which was called “bhayankar padhai,” meaning intense learning.

Lisa Su is the CEO of AMD, a big chip-making company worth $210 billion. Recently, she talked about the work culture at AMD, where employees often work on weekends and have early morning meetings after reading emails sent late at night. This tough work style may not be for everyone. A former AMD executive, Patrick Moorhead, says those who don’t keep up with their work find it hard to stay at the company.

Lisa expects her team to discuss complicated documents during these morning meetings right after sending them out at midnight. She is also very involved in the details, even checking prototype chips when they arrive from the factory.

Lisa was born in Taiwan but moved to the U.S. when she was only three years old so her dad could go to graduate school. Growing up in New York City, she learned how to write simple computer programs at a young age. Lisa studied at MIT, where she got her degree in electrical engineering and later earned a PhD in the same field.

She started her career at Texas Instruments and IBM before joining AMD in 2012 as a Vice President. Just two years later, she became CEO. Lisa feels lucky about her career, saying she got to try different jobs every couple of years. Today, AMD is worth $210 billion under her leadership.

In a shocking scene that looks like something from a Bollywood movie, a criminal was seen riding a motorbike in Mainpuri, Uttar Pradesh, while a police constable sat behind him. The unusual sight was recorded by someone passing by and quickly went viral on X (formerly Twitter).

In the video, you can see the criminal riding the bike without wearing a helmet, while the constable wore a helmet for safety. A rope connected their wrists, making it clear that the criminal was handcuffed. This strange situation happened because the police constable felt cold in the chilly winter, so he asked the criminal to ride the bike instead.

As the bike drove down the busy road, the odd image of a handcuffed man in control made many people question the constable’s decision. The police have said they are looking into the incident and will take action if needed. The name of the criminal and the details of his crime are still unclear. Many people online are reacting strongly, wondering how this could happen

Marina Smith, a 34-year-old model from São Paulo, Brazil, is upset because her friends won’t let her join their Christmas dinner. They think she is too pretty and fear that she might attract their husbands or boyfriends. Marina, who is also a former Miss Bumbum winner, feels their worries are unfair.

“I have been banned from Christmas dinner because the women think I’ll steal their men,” Marina said. She added that she never tried to flirt with her friends’ partners. “I just like to look good. The problem isn’t me; it’s their own insecurities,” she explained.

This situation isn’t unique to Marina. Another young woman, Sabrina Low, shared that she was taken out of a friend’s bridal party because the bride worried Sabrina would overshadow her. “It wouldn’t look good for me to be beside her at the altar,” Sabrina said.

A 29-year-old named Shye Lee from Florida also spoke out about the unfairness of being judged based on looks alone. “People treat you differently. They see your appearance and not who you are inside,” she explained.

Marina finds it hard to be left out, especially since she is single and feels lonely watching her friends with their partners. “Being single already makes it hard to go out, but now my looks seem to scare them,” she said. Despite wearing bold outfits, she insists her goal is not to attract attention from her friends’ partners. “The problem isn’t with me,” she repeated.

A surprising new style of Mehndi (henna) art is taking social media by storm! Mehndi is usually used in weddings to celebrate love and happiness. But now, there’s a creative twist called “Divorce Mehndi.” This art shows women’s journeys through difficult breakups.

Unlike the pretty patterns seen at weddings, Divorce Mehndi tells a touching story. Each design represents feelings of sadness, betrayal, and the joy of being free. A video of this unique art has gone viral on Instagram, getting over one million views!

Pain in the Henna

In the video shared by Urvashi Vora Sharma, a woman tells her story of a troubled marriage through the Mehndi on her hands. Her designs say “Finally Divorced!” instead of the usual wedding patterns. The art shows her experiences—like feeling like a servant, loneliness, and the lack of support from her husband. The images reveal misunderstandings, fights, and moments of deep sadness, leading to her decision to end the marriage.

Women are taking charge of their stories.”

More comments showed understanding, with one saying, “This hit close to home. Divorce is never easy, but this Mehndi shows the strength it takes to start over.”

Goodbye to Traditional Mehndi

This new trend goes beyond weddings, showing real feelings and experiences. It’s about freedom, strength, and owning one’s story.
