A math problem has puzzled the web as it claims that only people with a high IQ can understand it.

This numerical puzzle has gone viral as it has left even the smartest social media users scratching their heads.



The goal of the puzzle is for people to discover the pattern and find the answer to the number six.

According to the puzzle, 'One = three, two = three, three = five, four = four, and five = four.'

Many people attempted to solve the pattern.

However, only those with the highest level of intelligence were able to get to the bottom of the problem.

You will have to use critical thinking to solve the puzzle.

Were you able to figure out what six equals?

This isn't the first time a puzzle has left the web perplexed.

If 1=3 and 2=3 then 1=2 by the transitive property. All of the numbers are equal to each other.

It's like someone with severe brain damage tried to write math homework.

You can't solve it without picking an arbitrary method that doesn't actually fit based on the data provided.

So just pick whatever logic you feel comfortable shoehorning this nonsense into and go hog wild.

Anyway assholes who make these where numbers arbitrarily equal numbers can go burn. Have you heard of algebra? Use letters.

if 3=5 and 5=4 then 3=4. Also 1=4 and 2=4, and they are also 5. 1+1=2=3+3=6, 6=1=2=3=4=5

it's the number of letters when you write the number out as a word
o-n-e -> 3
t-w-o -> 3
t-h-r-e-e -> 5
f-o-u-r -> 4
f-i-v-e -> 4

but also, that's just probably the intended solution, there's no way it's the only solution, which is always the problem with pattern recognition puzzles like this

Ah yes, allow me:

x=y
z=y
y=a
b=b
a=b

Now, what does c equal??

It's really stupid IMO because it's not how "=" works mathematically. That motherfucker goes both ways assholes.

this must be the correct answer because of how annoying and dumb it is

ChatGPT did produce a viable and dumb answer though!

f(x) = 3 for x ≤ 2
f(x) = x + 2 for 2 < x ≤ 4
f(x) = 4 for x > 4

nothing because it's not defined. that or cum.

e: Here's the math
c = c
u = 1
m = 1
c*1*1 = c = cum

e2: This proof also has ramifications for the Marvel Cinematic Universe
