Want a math problem to solve?

I saw this one a year or so ago on one of things where they want you to click into. It said “if you can solve this problem you’re a genius”. I certainly don’t consider myself to be a genius but I thought I could solve THAT problem in my head. After looking at it for a minute, I decided I couldn’t solve it in my head, but I did solve it with the help of a pencil and piece of paper. Here’s the equation:

sqrt(x+15) + sqrt(x) = 15.

Did it in my head by trial and error. Luckily x is an integer.
