It has already started. palm luggable 

I see people carrying two mobiles + power bank in one hand  :tellme:
Their fingers work hard just to hold the three.

Add a hand purse, the ladies carry, and you start to wonder "how on earth they manage it"

This simple horse algebra question has left the internet baffled – but can YOU solve it?

They say the answer is 21. I say it is 42(with MDAS order of operations). Who has the problem with their math?

Carolina Reapers measure a minimum of 1.57 million Scoville units, a measure of hotness; jalapeños, in comparison, measure about 10,000.

That's one hot pepper. Want to try one?

are you making the mistake of thinking that there is a pair of boots and a pair of horseshoes in the last line?
Or am I missing something :-\

Converting images to letter,

a + a + a = 30
a + 2 b + 2 b = 18
2 b - 2 c = 2
c + a * b = ?

Solving the Algebra equations,

3 a = 30
=> a = 30 / 3 = 10

a + 4 b = 18
=> 4 b = 18 - a = 18 - 10 = 8
=> b = 8 / 4 = 2


2 b - 2 c = 2
=> 2 c = 2 b - 2 = 2 * 2 - 2 = 4 - 2 = 2
=> c = 2 / 2 = 1

c + a * b = 1 + 10 * 2 = 1 + 20 = 21

Answer 21

Regards,

Anand

P.S. Somehow the horse image is not showing in the quoted message. Tried many times but could not set it.

^ agreed Anand,
I cant really see how to get any other result (?)

A bit of a proverbial storm in a teacup, I think.

Yes, I think that was my problem. Details, details.

Oh man, nailed it.

What's happening here? 
Musician Patrick Metzger noticed this trend and called it the "Millenial Whoop".

Music, especially pop music, is based on patterns.  It makes new songs seem familiar, because you've basically heard them before.

Yes, I gather that it's called "formulaic music". "Musicians" have been using that approach for years, thus explaining the depressing seemingly moronically repetitive nature of a lot of the music - and there's apparently been a lot of not-so-subtle sampling/copying going on at the same time, creating copyright disputes. Every now and then though, it seems that someone with a streak of creativity or an unusual catch in their voice develops a catchy new pattern/formula, and then lots of copycats move in to ride on its coattails.
I guess that's simply what one would expect to get though, with an industry that seems to have adopted a mass-production approach.
