Answer at the link. Probably it will result in a head-slapping moment like it did for me.

This is actually really poor pedagogy. Out of nearly 10K kids that took the test only about 12% of them got the answer correct (Pure chance on a question with 6 multiple choice answers) because it is beyond the ability of a 4 year-old to think like this. The question was supposed to determine whether or not children could count to 100 not think about solution to odd problems

So adults should not feel bad either. The question is misleading because it does not tell you there is an issue with the problem. We do not teach people to do math upside down and backwards.

87. Upside down. Took about 3 seconds, but I’m not 4 years old, not for a long time now.

It was posted here a few weeks back. Got the answer in under 10 seconds. Of course, I’m used to reading upside-down and backwards having done so in the past with my kids.

I chose 87...it is evident that the numbers are upside down from this perspective.....i used to sell books and when I showed their contents to customers, they were always upside down to me...I could read them very well!!!
