Bheja Fry Question

  This Bheja Fry question follows a regular pattern.


I have decoded the pattern with the help of AI  !!!


Question 


If  6  +   9  =  61

    5   +  8    =  47

    4   +   7    =  33

    3  +  6    =  ???




Answer 

 I sincerely accept that I didn't solve it !!!

I have taken the help of meta AI which comes free with WhatsApp.


According to AI,


6  +  9  is actually  15.

Here it is given that 6   +   9   =  61

==>>  6  * 9 +  ( 9 - 2  )

==>>   54  +  7  

==>>    61



5  + 8  is actually 13

Here it is given that  5  +  8  =  46

==>>   5  *  8  + (  8  -  2  )

==>>  40  + 6

==>>  46




4  +  7  is actually  11

Here it is given that  4  + 7  =  33

==>>  4  *  7  +  ( 7  - 2  )

==>>  28  +   4

==>>   31




Finally,  3  +   6  = ??

We know 3  +  6  is  9

But according to the pattern we juat derived,


3  +    6  ==>>  3  *  6  +  (  6  -   2  )

==>>   18  +  4

==>>     22  !!!

Why does bread smells so irrestible when baking ??

 We will look at what's happening imside the oven  ??!!


When bread bakes at around 140 degree Celsius, sugars and proteins in flour starts reacting.......

Result   : Toasty, nutty caramel smell !!!!




When the sugar in the dough breaks, we get sweet "bakery " smell.



Yeast eats sugar and ejects alcoholic compounds. These compounds smell fruity, boozy and warm.

This also gives " fresh bread " smell.



Warm air coming out of hot bread can travel long to reach our nostrils. Cold bread don't smell.


Our brains are wired to this smell , thinking that food is arrived and it can be eaten !!!
