The ultimate mathematical trolling! The question asks you to prove 4+2=5+1 without solving both sides, but the moment you read it, your brain automatically calculated that 4+2=6 and 5+1=6. Congratulations, you just proved it's true by realizing both equal 6 without explicitly solving them! Your mathematical instincts betrayed you into doing exactly what the problem said not to do. The real "higher order thinking" was trying to resist the urge to solve it in your head. Next time, maybe try closing one eye and squinting really hard with the other to avoid accidental arithmetic.
