Attention puzzle fans: if you pass this test, you are one of the very brightest.

A number puzzle that is guaranteed to challenge you.

Number puzzles are very often used in IQ-Test to test the logical thinking of the candidates.

However, these tasks are only remotely related to math, as this difficult puzzle shows.

According to

the online portal Chip.de

, supposedly

only someone with an IQ of 150

should

be able to take the IQ

test.

Perhaps you are also one of the gifted?

Then throw your gray cells on for this puzzle:

IQ test: what is the correct result?

The following "arithmetic problem" has to be solved:

6 + 4 = 210

9 + 2 = 711

8 + 5 = 313

5 + 2 = 37

7 + 6 = ???

Do you know the correct solution?

Have fun puzzling!

The solution

A bit of brainpower is required for this IQ test.

Of course, the results don't make sense if you follow the conventional rules of math.

But if you think outside the box, you will come to the right solution relatively quickly:

For the correct result, the numbers on the left side of the equation

have to be added once and subtracted once

.

Then put the results together to form the correct solution:

For example: 

6 + 4 = 10 (the two last digits of the result)

6-4 = 2 (the first digit of the result)

Put together it results:

210

This is also a very simple way to solve the puzzle:

7 + 6 = 13

7-6 = 1

So the solution we are looking for is:

113
