How to solve like a puzzle detective Most RiddleMath mistakes happen because of: Skipping words, Assuming the question is the “usual” version, Not checking the final answer. So your best tool is a calm, repeatable method. Tips to play better (12 tips) Read the question twice. The second read catches the trick. Underline the goal in your head: “What are they asking me to find?” List the numbers you know and what they mean (items, minutes, apples, etc.). Do one step at a time. Don’t try to solve in your head all at once. Watch for “total” vs “left.” Many word problems hide that switch. Check units. If the question is about minutes, don’t answer in hours. Try a simple example. If a pattern is confusing, test it with smaller numbers. Look for the “odd detail.” Extra details are often the key. Estimate first. If your answer is wildly bigger than expected, re-check. If it’s a logic riddle, draw a quick tiny sketch on paper (optional). Coach voice: Slow down to speed up. Tiny human tip: If you keep getting tricked, look for words like “each,” “every,” “left,” “difference,” and “total.” Those words flip the math.
