This simple brainteaser is driving Facebook users crazy

Umm... fruits = smoothie... right?

There are many weird things one finds on the internet, but nothing as weird as a fruit algebra brainteaser which surfaced on the internet recently.

People are going crazy trying to solve the math problem. Take a go at it:



Here are a few answers people gave:

@ACowCalledMoo If it's algebra, then it's 16. If it's not, then the answer is probably apple, or grape, or orange, or kiwi fruit. Close?

Woah! This is some serious calculation

Why can't anyone find the panda in this image?

But do you know what the worst part is? The brainteaser came without the answer sheet.

the best thing about the Fruit Math Discourse is that there's only one right answer based on the universally accepted principles of algebra

Can you spot the snow leopard in the photo?

So technically, nobody knows the correct answer, but let's see if we can figure it out:



Each apple counts for 10, so that's 30



Then there is one apple (10), two sets of bananas, which contain four single bananas (8) which equals to 18



 

Take one banana set and subtract two halves of a coconut, which leaves you with two



Hence, one half of a coconut (1), added to one apple (10) and three bananas, will give you the answer 14.

But that's just a guess. Try it with your friends and see if you all get the same answer. Enjoy!
