99% Fail This 3 Number Puzzle! Make 30 By Choosing Only 3 Balls

3 Number Puzzle: To solve this puzzle, we must first look at the mathematical properties of the numbers provided: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15.

1. The Mathematical Problem

All the numbers provided in the pool are odd numbers. In standard arithmetic, adding three odd numbers together will always result in an odd number:

Odd + Odd + Odd = Odd

Since 30 is an even number, it is mathematically impossible to reach that exact sum using only three of these numbers in their standard form.

2. The “Hidden” Solution (Thinking Outside the Box)

Because this is a logic puzzle rather than a straightforward math test, you have to look for creative ways to manipulate the numbers provided. There are two common ways to solve this:

Method A: The Number Rotation

If you look closely at the 9 ball, it can be rotated to become a 6.

• Step 1: Rotate the 9 to make it a 6.
• Step 2: Use the following combination: 6 + 11 + 13 = 30

To reach the solution, you must first recognize that the puzzle is a logic trap based on a mathematical impossibility: adding three odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15) will always result in an odd sum, making a total of $30$ impossible through standard addition.

To solve it, you must apply “outside the box” thinking by manipulating the provided assets, specifically by rotating the 9 ball to transform it into a 6. Once this visual trick is applied, you can fulfill the equation using the combination of 6 + 11 + 13 = 30, which successfully reaches the target even number.
