Challenging math riddles for those who love challenges!

Some people love a simple life. They desire a life that is less complicated and straightforward.  All their lives, they imagine getting a decent job with a handsome salary, a decent spouse, and a simple living.  There can be many reasons behind these aspirations.  One could be having a pure demeanor, and admire simplicity in life. This could be a reason for their choice of a simple life, and this must be highly appreciated. In a world where everyone is chasing luxury, money, and fame, there are very few gems in the world who practice and profess simplicity.
However, there are some people who aspire to such a life not because they love and admire simplicity and authenticity, but because they love staying in their comfort zone. The idea of always remaining in their comfort zone throughout their lives never scares them. They enjoy the simple life because they resist the urge to summon the courage to break free of the glass ceiling. These are the people who, sadly, rarely grow in life to their optimum levels. 

However, then enter the people who have mastered the art of fighting with challenges. Many of them, sadly, have been thrown with a myriad of responsibilities and challenges ever since they were a child, but these challenges make them stronger and more ambitious in their lives. They not only dislike the comfort zone but rather feel suffocated in it. With every hurdle that they cross in their life, they aim for a higher challenge to ace. And oh, the sweet success that they taste after winning their battles is something else. These people are the ones who believe in making themselves better and fitter for life every single day, enhancing their skills, combating their shortcomings, facing their fears, and winning at life.  Such is the kind of people for which we have brought this piece of content.
