User Randall Jones published this logic problem about a year ago, but it still remains popular thanks to the three million users who are still fighting over her decision, reports Rus.Media.

Judging by the comments, the most popular answers — 40, 52 or 96.

But this problem, in fact, two correct decisions. Here they are:

1) add to the amount amount of the previous equation:

1 + 4 = 5

5 + 2 + 5 = 12

12 + 3 + 6 = 21

21 + 8 + 11 = 40

The missing number is 40.

2) Just multiply the two digits together and add to the amount received less of them.

1 + (4 x 1) = 5

2 + (5 x 2) = 12

3 + (6 x 3) = 21

8 + (11 x 8) = 96

The missing number will be 96.

It’s simple! And don’t ask how someone counted 52.
