Earlier, another maths puzzle went viral on social media. It was shared on Instagram Threads by @darrengibbons.dg. The brain teaser reads, "This must be done in your head only. Take 1,000. Add 40 to it. Now, add another 1,000. Now, add another 30. Another 1,000. Now, add another 1,000. Now, add 10. What is the total?"

After this puzzle caught the attention of many people, it collected numerous likes and comments. Many people flocked to the comments to share their answers. Some people even tried to explain the puzzle.

An individual wrote, "So, no one else started by 'taking' 1000 from 0. So -1000 +40 = -960 + 1000 = 40. Then Add 30, 20, 1000, 10 = 1100."

Another said, "The 'assumption' is that 'another 1,000'. It implies adding another 1000, which would be 5000. And you know what happens when you assume."
