At first glance, the puzzle appears straightforward: 1+4=51 + 4 = 51+4=5 2+5=122 + 5 = 122+5=12 3+6=213 + 6 = 213+6=21 5+8=?5 + 8 = ?5+8=?
Most people initially try to solve it using basic addition, but there’s a clever twist hidden in the sequence. Let’s decipher it together.
For the first equation, 1+41 + 41+4 straightforwardly equals 5. However, from the second equation onward, a new pattern emerges: 2+5=12→5(previousresult)+2+5=122 + 5 = 12 \rightarrow 5 (previous result) + 2 + 5 = 122+5=12→5(previousresult)+2+5=12 3+6=21→12(previousresult)+3+6=213 + 6 = 21 \rightarrow 12 (previous result) + 3 + 6 = 213+6=21→12(previousresult)+3+6=21

Here, we add the previous result to the sum of the current numbers. Applying this pattern to the final equation: 5+8=?→21(previousresult)+5+8=21+5+8=345 + 8 = ? \rightarrow 21 (previous result) + 5 + 8 = 21 + 5 + 8 = 345+8=?→21(previousresult)+5+8=21+5+8=34
Thus, the answer is 34!
This puzzle is a great example of how looking beyond the obvious can reveal a hidden pattern. It’s a fun way to challenge your logical thinking and problem-solving skills. Share this puzzle with your friends and see if they can crack the code too!
