At first glance, this math problem looks incredibly simple.
But don’t be fooled…
Thousands of people are getting it wrong.
The question is:
20 + 30 × 0 + 1 = ?
Most people rush and try to solve it left to right.
That’s the mistake.
Because in math, there’s one important rule many forget:
👉 Order of Operations
This means multiplication always comes before addition.
So let’s break it down step by step:
First:
30 × 0 = 0
Now the equation becomes:
20 + 0 + 1
Then:
20 + 1 = 21
Sounds easy, right?
But here’s the surprising part…
A huge number of people answer 51 because they ignore the multiplication rule.
That’s why this question keeps going viral.
It’s not about difficulty…
It’s about attention.
So the real question is:
Did you get it right on the first try?
