A seemingly simple division messes up the grid: How much is 550 ÷ 2?

A simple math exercise has gone viral because surprisingly, people haven't even figured it out easily. What is 550 divided by?

If you too, the first number that came to your mind was 225 - you are wrong!

People on social media were shocked to discover that 550 divided by 2 makes 275, not 225.

Tweets, memes, and people on Reddit all over the world are sharing the "bad news."

"Guys, I have some bad news. 550 divided by 2 is not 225."

This "numerical chaos" is going viral at a rather ironic moment as it comes right after the news that British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will make maths compulsory for young Britons until the age of 18.
