Maths puzzle seems so intriguing on social media, that you cannot stop yourself from giving the answers. Same happened to Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor who thought it was a good idea to prompt an answer to a mathematics puzzle posted by Jitesh Pillaai. It showed a triangle with a number of triangles inside and asking how many triangles are there in the pictures. Sonam Kapoor shared what she thought was the correct answer for the puzzle.
The picture seems so interesting that it got everybody excited to guess the correct answer, including the diva Sonam Kapoor.
Not that everyone who responded to the tweet knew the right answer, but a wrong answer coming from a Bollywood actress wasn’t an easy thing to let go of. She immediately got savagely trolled on Twitter because it was blasphemous for a celebrity to not know maths!
However, the trolls must be so eager to troll the actress that they didn’t notice the two tweets she posted. She herself admitted that she’s bad at maths and doesn’t know the answer.
A Twitter user immediately stood in support of Ms Kapoor. It wrote, “Acknowledgement of being terrible at math is way better than the relentless stabs most (not quite) mathematicians take at these answers on the social media.”
Well, if you’ve stuck on the puzzle, thinking about the right answer, then here it is. The correct answer is 18.
Not knowing the answer isn’t wrong but pretending to be a Maths expert on social media and trolling the wrong answers isn’t cool either.
