The puzzle that has stumped many
A recent brain teaser shared on the X page Math Lover has gained attention. The puzzle reads:
"LOVE + OVE + VE + E = 3456, LOVE = ?"
This intriguing arrangement has caught the eye of many, garnering over 5,000 views. However, the responses to the puzzle have been varied, with some users providing answers and others questioning the logic behind it.
One user commented, “48 but it could be an error, cause the ‘o’ = ‘v’...”, hinting at a potential mistake in the setup. Another user suggested, “3184,” while a third took a more philosophical approach, responding with “Happiness.” There was also a playful reply from a user who simply said, “Sorry, I am not interested in Love.”
