Most Adults Fail This Simple Math Test

A Russian polymath, Mikhail Lomonosov, once said, “Mathematics should be studied if only for that it puts the mind in order.” Mathematics is the queen of the sciences that helps increase erudition, train memory, temper character, and broaden horizons. Solving math problems is a win-win all around. With that in mind, we have put together a simple math test to train your brain.

Here, at Cook It, we are advocates for all-round development and clarity of mind. Therefore, we regularly encourage you to take simple tests in different subjects. However, as experience shows, no matter how easy a task may seem, not everyone succeeds in solving it. Do you think you can handle it?

I am an English major with a love of languages and fiction, and with an incurable travel bug. In my free time, I read fantasy, drink copious amounts of coffee, and like to go see movies. Culinary art means everything to me. My main hypostasis is the taster, though. The music school has taught me to appreciate the symphony of airy meringues, to create harmonious overtures of light snacks, hard rock of meat, fish, and vegetables on the grill. Choir classes have accustomed me to hear and feel the people nearby and create perfect harmonies of sounds.
