Are You Smarter Than a Hong Kong 1st Grader?
A logic puzzle has baffled the internet, but its solution is apparently so simple that a child can solve it in seconds.
The now-viral puzzle comes from a Hong Kong elementary school admission test for six-year-olds, who are required to solve it within 20 seconds.
The test, as reported by Centauro, features a drawing of a parking lot with a car positioned in one of the six numbered spots, blocking the number from view.
Based on the visible numbers, the students are asked to determine the number of the spot where the car is parked.
If you can’t solve it right away, you’re not alone: apparently, many adults have been stumped by the first-grade entrance exam question.
At first glance it might seem like logic or algebra is needed to find the right answer.
