A fruity brainteaser taking the internet by storm claims it can determine if you are a high-IQ math whizz.
The puzzle needs to be worked out in just 15 seconds to prove your braininess, so set a timer and put your skills to the test.
Pitting three mangoes together, the first-row total totals 15. Then, one mango and two pears make 23, and a pineapple and two pears are equal to 21.
So what would a mango, a pear and a pineapple total? Only the sharpest of minds can get it in a flash – so how long will it take you?
To solve the conundrum, you simply need to determine the value of each fruit.
So if three mangoes total 15 that means each one is equal to five.
To work out the value of a pear in the second row, you first deduct five (for the Apple) from the total figure of 23.
This means two pears are equal to 18 – so each one is worth nine.
In the third line, you now know that the two pears total 18. So if there are two – the remaining pineapple must be valued at three to total 23.
This brings you to the last line. If the apple is valued at five, the pineapple at three, and the pear at nine – it gives you a total of 17.
Simple right? But did you get it in under 15 seconds?
