Do you think you'll be the one to solve this?

Was one of your answers 40?

Then you are absolutely right!!

1 + 4 = 5

2 + 5 (+ previous result of 5) = 12

3 + 6 (+ previous result of 12) = 21

8 + 11 (+ previous result of 21) = 40

But there's a second answer, too!

Did you guess 96? Then you're still correct!

1 x 5 + 1 = 5

2 x 5 + 2 = 12

3 x 6 + 3 = 21

8 x 11 + 8 = 96

Did you get either of these answers the first time you tried it? Let us know in the comments and pass this along to your friends and family so they can complete the challenge, too!
