The puzzle challenges users to find the value of different shapes based on the equations provided. It has sparked a wave of interest, with people eager to test their logic. Breaking down the puzzleThe puzzle conss of three equations involving squares, circles, and a triangle, each representing different values. The first equation features two squares that add up to 8, suggesting that each square has a value of 4. Simple enough, right? In the second equation, two overlapping circles, along with one square, equal 14. Given the value of the square (4), we can deduce that the circles together total 10. The trick is in solving for each circle’s value. Finally, in the third equation, we see a triangle added to one circle, with a total of 11. With the circle’s value known from the previous step, the last piece of the puzzle is finding the value of the triangle. One one, each equation brings us closer to solving the puzzle, ultimately revealing the value of the triangle.
