MUMBAI, India (CWBN)_ The business tycoon and Chairman of Mahindra Group, Anandh Mahindra, shared a strange mathematical game in his Twitter account which will help us choose our next travel destination. The post he shared displays a list of countries with numbers next to each and also shows a set of mathematical instructions to be followed while choosing our travel destination.
The instructions on the post first ask the people to choose a number between 1 and 9. The second step is to multiply it by 3 and again add 3 to the total. The fourth step is to multiply the total number again by 3. The fifth step is to add the two-digit final number. The instruction says the final answer we get will decide our next travel destination in the list. His post went viral in social media and garnered hundreds of amused comments and views.
The tours and travel industry is the most affected sector by the pandemic worldwide. With current lockdowns and spreading infections, travel has become a distant dream now. The year 2020 has locked the people indoors to control the spreading virus. In such a situation, a post from Anand Mahindra that talks about traveling made his followers pay attention to it. But the business tycoon’s puzzle delivers a message to the society and has a sensible twist at the end.
Anandh Mahindra took to Twitter to post his travel puzzle and captioned it as “Brutal! But accurate”. The sensible twist at the end is that unmindful of the number we choose, our final answer will always result 9 which says “stay at home”. The business tycoon delivered his social message on the need to stay indoors in a clever way that has attracted numerous netizens. In the end of his puzzle, he asked his ironical question, “What destination did you get?”
