Make your friends crash out with these five math problems people often get wrong or just can't figure out. The problems concern basic algebra, the classic 9 dots puzzle, graph theory, simple misunderstandings and imaginary conditions, and the dumb temptations of impulse! None of those stupid viral PEMDAS questions, only actual math problems. They're sure to give you a good chance to point and laugh at people who make mistakes in front of you, after you've made the mistakes in private. #maths #mathmemes #viralmaths
