This short math puzzle is designed to catch anyone who works from left to right without applying the standard order of operations.
The expression is 60 + 40 × 0 + 7.
Multiplication comes before addition, so calculate 40 × 0 first. That equals 0. The expression then becomes 60 + 0 + 7.
Answer: 67.
The zero makes the puzzle look deceptively complicated, but once the multiplication is handled first, the rest is straightforward. If you got 67 without a calculator, you followed the correct order of operations.
