Детская задача про лошадей и сапоги озадачила интернет-пользователейAlthough it is not really difficult to name, most of the challenge is wrong.

One Facebook user ' s challenge, which is on horses, subs and boots, has been controversial for quite some time among those who are trying to solve it. It is particularly interesting that the three most common responses offered by Internet users are not true.

More often, the commentaries to the communication that has already received 77,000 “Likov” and more than 14,000 “Reposit” call the answer “48”. Other popular versions were 46 and 22. It is also quite common that the correct answer is 44, 24, 16 or 13. Internet users have left over half a million comments.

The first three parts of the task do not pose particular difficulties for the majority. The amount of three horses is 30, which means that each horse is equal to 10. On this basis, it can be ascertained that the " pair of subcontracts " is 4 and that the " boots " is equal to 2.

The first thing to draw attention in the last part is that it contains only one boots and one hatch. If it is strictly thought, it should mean that the challenge is not solved in principle - a picture of the boots can be considered a simple different variable, and it is not specified that it should be equal to half the variable marked with a pair of boots. However, the author does not appear to have such a formal relationship, which means that one shoe and one hinge are twice as small as two shoes and two subcots respectively - i.e. 1 and 2.

Another " sub-voy " is that the last part of the task must initially be multiplied, and then the decomposition. I mean, if, for example, to try to solve this task at a simple old calculator, first setting 1 and 10, and then multiplying the result into two, the answer would be incorrect. In fact, the example implied by the lower side of the pictures is 1 + 10 X 2 = 21.
