Oh what fun. Two flowers are twice one flower; four petals are 4/5 of 5 petals; a brown box is square root. So, 9. But why stop there? Speak it and interpret it as German; translate to English to get “No.”, which is an abbreviation for number. So the answer is, “a number”.

"A simple logic and maths puzzle has sparked debate on Facebook after thousands of people have debated over the answer. The puzzle, which replaces numbers with flowers, has caught thousands of people out. A maths teacher who solves logic puzzles online and goes by the name of 'Professor Puzzler' even refused to solve it, saying the problem had no answer."
