The latest puzzle dividing the internet is a seemingly simple mathematical puzzle with images of apples, bananas, and coconuts. Due to a bit of visual misdirection, those who share the viral image on Facebook are struggling to come up with a clear solution.
In the image — which, according to the Daily Mail, has been circulating on Facebook since December — the solver is challenged to determine the numerical value of each fruit image. The top picture shows three individual apples that together equal 30, meaning each apple is worth 10.
In the next equations, it becomes clear that bunches of four bananas are worth four, while a pair of half coconuts represents the number two.
In the final equation, the puzzle asks for the sum of a single half coconut, a single apple, and a bunch of three bananas, based on the earlier information. However, opinions diverge here.
