Next, let us move to the second line with the colorful roosters.
We see three identical roosters added together: Rooster + Rooster + Rooster = 15.
To find the value of one rooster, we divide 15 by 3.
Therefore, one rooster is equal to 5.
Now, let us examine the third line with the friendly spotted cows.
We see three identical cows added together: Cow + Cow + Cow = 30.
To find the value of one cow, we divide 30 by 3.
Therefore, one cow is equal to 10.
Everything seems very easy and straightforward so far, right?
Now comes the final line where most people make a big mistake!
The final equation is: Rooster + Pig(s) x Cow = ?
Look very closely at the animals in this last equation.
First, notice the math symbol between the pig and the cow.
It is a multiplication sign (x), not an addition sign (+)!
According to standard math rules (PEMDAS), we must multiply before we add.
Second, pay very close attention to the picture of the pig in the last row!
If you look carefully behind the front pig, you will notice another pig standing right behind it!
Yes, there are actually 2 pigs stacked together in that picture!
Since one pig equals 2, a group of 2 pigs equals 4.
Now, let us replace every animal in the final equation with its correct number value.
The rooster is 5.
The group of 2 pigs is 4.
The cow is 10.
So, the math equation becomes: 5 + (4 x 10) = ?
First, we do the multiplication: 4 x 10 = 40.
Next, we add the rooster’s value: 5 + 40 = 45.
So, the final correct logical answer is 45!
Did you spot the two pigs and solve it correctly on your first try?
