A Maths question for children has gone viral in social media garnered up to 1.4 million views. It’s puzzling as it seems like more than 1 valid answer.

The Twitter user @yawdmontweet from Jamaica wrote in the caption that the question “hurt his head”.

The question read: ” What is the closest time to midnight?”

The options provided as potential answers will be : A. 11.55am, B. 12.06am, C. 11.50am, and D. 12.03am.

And Twitter users appeared to have been thrown off by the question, and commented with different answers.

Some thought the answer should be D because it’s just 3 minutes away from Midnight. However, Some thought 12.03am is closest after midnight but not to midnight as time moves forward.

With that logic, the correct answer should be A as 11.55am is 12 hours and 5 minutes to midnight. 12.03am would be 23 hours and 57 minutes to midnight, and thus the furthest.

“We can’t go back in time”

A commenter said the question was confusing because of how it was worded. There was no indication of “which midnight” the question was referring to.

One Twitter user asked artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT: The answer is D.

▼ While the Snapchat AI said the answer is B.

So, What do you think??? A, B, C or D…
