Tricky Genius Geometry Math Puzzle Solution

Logic Puzzle #1

Solution:  

First, we will label the shapes. Triangles are X, Squares are Y, and Circles are Z.

Row #1: X + Y + Z = 10

Row #2: Z + Y – X = 6

Row #3: Z + X – Y = 4

Now, from Row #1 and Row #2 equations, if we cancel the positive and negative X’s, we get:

=> 2 (Y + Z) = 16

=> Y + Z = 8

Now, we can apply this finding in the Row #1 equation:

X + Y + Z = 10

=> X + 8 = 10

=> X = 10 – 8 = 2

So, we figured the value of each triangle is 2.

Moving on, now if we cancel the positive and negative X’s and Y’s from the Row #2 and Row #3 equations:

=> 2 (Z) = 10

=> Z = 10 / 2 = 5

So, we figured that the value of each circle is 5.

Moving on, we apply the findings of X and Z in the Row #1 equation:

X + Y + Z = 10

=> 2 + Y + 5 = 10

=> Y + 7 = 10

=> Y = 10 – 7 = 3

Now, we have also figured that the value of each square is 3.

Let us summarize, Triangles = X = 2, Squares = Y = 3, and Circles = Z = 5.

Let us solve the Row #4 equation now. Tricky, right?

Solution 1: In method 1, we can consider that there are two circles, hence we multiply.

Solution 2: In method 2, we can consider that the circles are in exponential format.
