The puzzle has collected quite a few possible solutions.
Every few days, the Internet is abuzz with some new brain-teaser. Whether it is a math question or a word puzzle or even a simple pictorial problem, those who love solving such riddles cannot rest until they find the right answer to it. Adding to the already long list of brain-teasers is this one posted by veteran actor Shabana Azmi. The puzzle, posted last evening, has collected quite a few possible answers.
The puzzle looks like a simple pictorial problem based on equations. All one needs to do is solve the puzzle by calculating the numbers assigned to different objects in the picture. What makes it confusing is that the objects appear slightly different and that could indicate that their value differs as well - or not.
Now, keeping this in mind, try solving this confusing brain-teaser.
Not so simple, is it? Since being posted some 16 hours before writing this, the puzzle has collected quite a few possible solutions. Even actor Dia Mirza couldn't help but share what she thought was the right answer.
After suggesting the answer may be eight, she realized she made a mistake and tried again.
Several others on Twitter shared what they thought was the right answer.

Last month, another confusing puzzle posted on Twitter got people scratching their heads thinking about the right answer. Tweeple even got a little carried away and trolled actor Sonam Kapoor for the answer she posted.

Oho! I didn't see the multiplication and subtraction signs! Confirms that I am totally incapable of calculation

Ans. 3 ( just mind the time in clock, black spots on football and number of blades in 4th row). It is 2x3-3=3

Football stands for 3
Every hour of clock is 1, hence clock stand for 2
And every blade of fan is one, fan's value is 3
So answer is 3*2-3=3
