This math puzzle looks simple, but it challenges you to solve it correctly in just 10 seconds by using the proper order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).
Expression:
5 × 5 − 5 + 5 ÷ 5
Step-by-step:
First do multiplication and division:
5 × 5 = 25
5 ÷ 5 = 1
Now it becomes:
25 − 5 + 1
Then solve left to right:
25 − 5 = 20
20 + 1 = 21
Final answer: 21
It looks easy—but only if you follow the correct rules.
