Saw this online and it ticked me off that I got it wrong. The headline said 92% of us will get the answer wrong.

It's either 30 or 60 depending on the rules
It's 60. Take the sum of the original equation and multiply by 2. Seems simple enough to me. Does anyone see a different solution?
The answer is ?
60
They only say most people will get it wrong so people post to try to prove how smart they are.
5+25 is 30. Writing a few mathematically incorrect statements before it doesn't change that fact.

30 seems to be correct from my seat near the finishline.
Your logic is flawed.
You cannot simply add them together and multiply by 2. Try that for any of the other answers, did it work? NO.
Secondly, there is no IF statement stating that the preceding are correct, so you will need to evaluate the 5+25 on its own merits.
People like you are the reason this country is failing.

Actually, it works for each of them.

Yep.
I guess none of you took linear algebra... Hello linear operator.

If you take the first statements as assumptions then you can say whatever you want for the conclusion because a false statement implies any statement, false or true.
If you take it as a pattern then the answer is obviously 60.
If you take it as a stupid trick to try to get people to think they're clever, then it's 30.
In any case it's an open-ended question without a real meaning meant to make people argue.

So what's the answer, smart a$$?
Questions like this are trivial.
I once saw a series that produced something like 15 1s followed by pi. If you were given a pattern of 15 1s, you would assume the next value to be 1. The question would have to provide more details, such as that the pattern is made out of polynomials for example. It is also worded weirdly, because the = operator is never used for a custom relation.
48
answers ascending in this pattern:
=2x6, =4x6, =6x6, =8x6
or
60
1st number doubled + 2nd number doubled
or
58
disregard 1st number...
double the second number then add 2,4,6,8 etc
so 5+25 = 48
or
56
rule: add one more than second number to
the both numbers in the given equation, then add 1 to the
sum of those....
5+ 25 +26 +1 = 57

That's not a series.
I give this mofo a nice 7.5/10
Actually, it was.
