Argentine Outlets Post New Viral Math Puzzles With Step‑By‑Step Solutions

Publishers frame the challenges as quick order‑of‑operations refreshers that double as promotions for games hubs, with citations of Princeton research on mental‑math benefits.

Overview

  • TN.com.ar walks through 9 ÷ 9 − 9 + 9 × 9 + (9 − 9), applying parentheses, then division and multiplication, then addition and subtraction to reach 73.
  • LA NACION solves (45² − 300) ÷ (25 − 5) × (18 − 12) + 6³ with exponents and parentheses first, then left‑to‑right multiplication and division, for a final 733.5.
  • Diario Uno resolves (90 + 20 ÷ 5) + (4 × 5) by prioritizing operations inside parentheses and evaluating left to right, concluding with 114.
  • All three articles stress PEMDAS/BODMAS and warn that treating expressions strictly left to right causes predictable mistakes.
  • The coverage links regular mental calculation to improved focus, memory and decision‑making, citing a Princeton University study in the Journal of Neuroscience, and LA NACION directs readers to its LN Juegos platform.
