Who Can Figure Out The Puzzle by Phi001(m): 11:05pm On Jul 14, 2016
I saw this on Quora and decided to come and share it here on Nairaland. It's an excerpt from Mensa's IQ test.
It's pretty simple tho.

Why do you think the answer is 5?

I once thought the answer was 5, but I think I will vacillate on this.
At every sector of the divided circle which is at opposite side of the other circle, the sum is the same. This my anology is faulty because it satisfies all opposite side of the circle but one.cheesy

I will accept that the answer is 2 because if you divide the circle into the two, the difference between the lower part of the circle and the upper part is 2.

Moving clockwise, the sum of one sector's outer numbers is equal to the next sector's inner number......so at the end, 1+1=2
