Who doesn’t like puzzles? They offer a little challenge, they create a little mess, and they always open up discussions about different possibilities. However, in the end, there’s only one solution.
The McDonald’s puzzle is one for fast food fans – and then, even if you don’t like fast food, you’ll love this challenge which has literally divided the Internet in the quest to solving it.
It may look really simple, but a keen eye and some logic are needed if you want to get the correct answer because it has been deliberately designed to confuse you.
Can you get the correct answer? (Hint: it’s not obesity)
Take a close look and do your math.

O – Orders (that is Powers and Square Roots, etc)
DM – Division and Multiplication (left-to-right)
AS – Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right)
