The fruit brainteaser that’s stumping everyone
This is the deceptively simple children’s brainteaser that’s stumping everyone on the internet.
Using apples, bananas and a coconut, the mathematical equation asks you to work out the value each fruit represents. It seems easy enough, but if you answered 16 you would be wrong.
The right answer can be found by closely examining the fruit. In the puzzle, there are four bananas in every bunch, except the final bunch, which has three. Similarly, the third line shows one coconut cut in half, whereas the final line only shows one half.
So if the numbers are reduced along with the number of fruit, the final answer is, in fact, half a coconut (one) + apple (10) + three bananas (3) is equal to 14.
