Adults Are Confused With This Mind-Boggling Math Question Intended For Primary Kids

Can you answer this tricky math problem?

Singapore math is probably one of the toughest math programs in the world. It focuses on problem-solving techniques and model drawings in its syllabus, and it has been adopted by the United States and some South American and Southeast Asian countries.

One particular Singapore math question has taken the Internet by storm. The question was shared by TV presenter Kenneth Kong on Facebook, and it has gone viral since then.

“This question causes a debate with my wife… and it’s a P5 question,” Kong wrote.

Comments started surging after Kong posted it, and many people, including those outside Singapore, have taken a keen interest in the question. The Australian Federation of International Students even shared it on its Facebook page. Unsurprisingly, the post also caught the attention of Reddit.com and Philosophy Forums.

Now, can YOU solve this problem? NOTE: This is a math question intended for PRIMARY school kids.
