Let's solve the problem step by step.
The image shows this expression:
```
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
1 + 1 × 0 + 1 = ?
```
But wait — it seems like there are
three lines, and only the
third line contains an equation with a question mark. The first two lines appear to be just repeated additions of 1s, possibly meant to distract or mislead.
So let’s focus on the
last line:
>
1 + 1 × 0 + 1 = ?
This is the actual problem we need to solve.

Step 1: Apply the Order of Operations (PEMDAS)
We follow the standard order of operations:
-
Parentheses
-
Exponents
-
Multiplication and
Division (from left to right)
-
Addition and
Subtraction (from left to right)
In this expression:
> 1 + 1 × 0 + 1
We do
multiplication first:
- 1 × 0 = 0
Now substitute back:
> 1 + 0 + 1
Now do addition from left to right:
- 1 + 0 = 1
- 1 + 1 = 2

✔ Final Answer:
>
2

Why the "Only 2% can solve this" claim?
This puzzle is designed to trick people into thinking they should evaluate left to right without considering order of operations. Some might do:
> 1 + 1 = 2
> 2 × 0 = 0
> 0 + 1 = 1 → Wrong!
But that ignores the rule:
multiplication comes before addition.
So the correct answer is:
>
2
✔ Answer: 2
