This math puzzle looks simple, but the order of operations makes all the difference.
The expression is:
6 + 6 × 0 − 1
Multiplication comes first:
6 × 0 = 0
Now finish the calculation from left to right:
6 + 0 − 1 = 5
The ×0 only affects the 6 directly beside it. It does not make the whole expression zero.
Answer: 5.
