Only Those with Genius IQ Can Solve This Maths Puzzle in Five Seconds

A viral maths puzzle is challenging even the sharpest minds, with claims that only those with a 'genius level IQ' can solve it in five seconds. The brain teaser, shared online, presents a pattern that requires logical thinking to deduce the answer.

The puzzle shows a series of sums: 11 + 11 = 4, 12 + 12 = 6, and 13 + 13 = 8. Using this pattern, participants must find the value of 14 + 14. The key is to recognise that each sum's result is derived by adding the digits of the numbers together. For example, 11 + 11 becomes 1+1+1+1 = 4.

Applying the same logic, 14 + 14 translates to 1+4+1+4 = 10. Thus, the correct answer is 10. The puzzle is designed to test analytical and critical thinking skills, with a five-second time limit adding pressure.
