Math riddles with answers: If you call math tough, these math riddles will prove you wrong!

Not all students in school are genius. Some excel in literature, while some others may be good at sports. Some have an excellent sense of painting, while a few may be the Mozarts of Music. Some children enjoy studying sciences and trying out different experiments, while there are a few who have a keen interest in digging into the past and understanding history. While different children enjoy studying different subjects, not every student can enjoy every subject that is served on his plate. Moreover, there are some children in school who apparently do not enjoy any subject and are not good at anything. While the world looks at such students differently, these are often the ones with extraordinary talents that are actually hidden, sometimes with their own self as well. 

The point of this discussion is that not all students are great at every subject, and math is one of those subjects that is the most hated among children. Why is math a hated subject? Well, there is nothing wrong with the subject, but actually, it is the way people look at it that is different. The subject is filled with multiple problems and each problem requires immense practice. Getting just the right answer to math problems is tough, and anything that has less chance of coming true automatically becomes hard. However, not many students are trained to enjoy challenges. Mostly, students are pressurized to score excellent marks, and that is what makes it difficult for students to rather enjoy the subjects.

That is what we wish to change in the world. We aim at changing the way one looks at math, and thus we have brought forward these exciting math riddles. 

These math riddles are actually super fun. Try these.
