The content creator suggests that if the restaurant is selling puri bhaji for Rs 100, then the cost of pav bhaji should be around Rs 25.
Understanding math can be a challenge for many, as it requires a precise set of skills to understand the logic behind the equations and calculations. Nowadays, the internet is filled with people using highly intelligent humour that requires mathematical knowledge. One such cryptic yet intriguing joke has left many scratching their heads. In a latest video making rounds on the internet, a content creator is seen comparing the prices of two popular dishes, Puri Bhaji and Pav Bhaji, on a restaurant menu. According to his calculations, he suggests that if the restaurant is selling Puri Bhaji for Rs 100, then the cost of Pav Bhaji should be around Rs 25 and blames the restaurant for overcharging their customers.
In the video, the content creator shows the menu of an unnamed restaurant and says, “It’s so wrong what they’re doing in this restaurant. They’ve written Pav Bhaji for 90 rupees and Puri Bhaji for 100 rupees. Now, if we divide Puri Bhaji by 4, it becomes Pav Bhaji, so according to that calculation, Pav Bhaji should be 25 rupees. They’re overcharging way too much.” Since the clip surfaced on Instagram, it has garnered mixed reactions, as some understood the joke immediately, while others were confused by the logic.
Since the video was shared on Instagram, it has gone viral and garnered over 10 Lakh views.
Reacting to the clip, Swiggy India wrote, “The math is not mathing.”
Another user sharing the solution added, “For those who didn’t get it: Puri: Full, Pav: 1/4.”
An individual quipped, “I bet Gen Z would not understand this joke.”
“End tak dekh li reel, abb IIT JEE NEET CEAT OLD MONK sab crack karlunga. (I’ve watched the reel till the end, now I’ll crack everything),” a comment read,
Another wrote, “The world isn’t ready yet for your humour king.”
A person added, “Bro – you have a God given gift for humour. Please return it.”
One more shared, “Just remind me to laugh after 1hr, currently busy with something important.”
A math trick earlier caught the internet’s attention when a user on X shared a clever tip about ordering pizza. According to the post, going for an 18 inch pizza is more beneficial than getting two 12 inch pizzas. The user explained that by calculating the area of a circle, one can understand that an 18 inch pizza provides 254 square inches of food, while two 12 inch pizzas offer only 226 square inches.
The post left the internet confused, while some social media users struggled to understand the logic behind the calculation, but there were few intelligent individuals who provided explanations to clarify the concept.
