Math riddles with answers: Math is often viewed as a subject that is enough to make any student go sleepless at night. Any student with a math exam falling on his birthday has never enjoyed his birthday to the fullest. Even the smartest of students feel the need for math coaching to pass their school math exams. The anxiety every student faces before the math exams is something else, and cannot be compared to that of any other exam. Truly math is one of the most feared subjects to study in school.

The complex numbers, the challenging theorems, and the super tough formulae make the subject unbearable to crack. Many students get passed with flying colors in other exams but fail to crack the math test in school, thanks to the subject being super challenging. However, it would be very wrong to call the subject "boring". Yes, math can be tough, but the subject can never be boring. Multiple elements and day-to-day problems make every math problem super interesting to crack. Every math problem takes the student to a different world where finding the correct answer is the only win. And oh, the joy one gets after cracking the right answer after failing a trillion times is something else. All this and more make the subject super interesting. With every right answer that you crack, you get a small dose of confidence, and these small doses increase your confidence levels in the subject at the end.
