Solving the Puzzle

  1. Identify Operations:
    • The equation is 11 – 11 × 11 + 11. Multiplication comes first according to BODMAS.
  2. Do Multiplication:
    • 11 × 11 = 121. The equation becomes 11 – 121 + 11.
  3. Perform Subtraction:
    • 11 – 121 = -110. Now the equation is -110 + 11.
  4. Complete Addition:
    • -110 + 11 = -99.

Common Mistakes

People often solve from left – to – right, like:
11 – 11 = 0, 0 × 11 = 0, 0 + 11 = 11. This is wrong as it ignores BODMAS.
