Try solving it without a calculator—use your mind

Are you ready to challenge your brain with a tricky math problem? It looks simple but often trips people up on their first try.

This question tests your grasp of the order of operations—a fundamental math skill learned early but sometimes overlooked.

Here’s the problem:
What is the result of 11 – 11 × 11 + 11?

At first glance, it seems straightforward—just addition, subtraction, and multiplication. But the key is remembering the proper order: multiplication before addition and subtraction.

Many people get this wrong by rushing and ignoring that crucial rule.

So before you peek at the answer, pause and think carefully.

Can you solve it on your own? Take your time, apply your knowledge, and test your math skills.

Good luck with this deceptively simple challenge!
