Millions of People Are Getting This Puzzle Wrong

And the answer is 81. Here is the reason why, from amw.

The puzzle is a graphic which shows three lines of equations using flowers as variables.

Each flower holds a specific value, and you need to figure out what each value is, and at the end perform an order of operations with the three flowers in order to get the final answer.

The first line shows three red flowers whose value adds up to be 60. You can figure out what the value of the red flower is right off the bat because you can divide 60 by three to get that one of these flowers hold a value of 20.

The second line shows that one red flower plus two blue flowers gives a value of 30, and the third line shows that a blue flower minus some type of double yellow flower gives a value of three.

Then, once you have figured out the values, you must add a singular yellow flower to the product of a red flower multiplied by a blue flower.

The puzzle may seem cute and sort of simple, however people have been bringing up all sorts of answer such as 102, 110, 25, and 27 being some of the most popular answers.

People have noticed some abnormalities in the puzzle though which might be causing some of the erratic answers.

Some of the flowers look just slightly different, which may mean that they hold a new value. These two blue flowers look exactly the same at first glance, but if you look closely you will realize that one has an additional pedal.

One expert puzzle solver named Professor Puzzler who is a math teacher named Dough even weighed in on the puzzle, but came back with a very unpopular response. Doug said that the puzzle was unsolvable!

People did not like that answer though, so they tried to give it a crack anyways, and the agreed on answer has come to be 81.

This is because the red flower is worth 20, and a blue flower with five pedals is worth 5, which means that a yellow flower would give a value of 2.

Given these values, there is one yellow flower added to a red one times a blue on with FOUR pedals, making the value equal to 1 + 20 x 4 which is equal to 81.
