This puzzle looks simple. Half of something……. We do this every day like splitting a cookie or sharing a candy. But wait, it is not easy to get this in less than 5 seconds.And if you want to solve this question in less than 5 seconds, we have to do that with the elimination of options technique.🛑 Hold on,First, try solving this yourself ✍️. Take your time, and once you’ve got an answer, drop your answer in the comments, let me see your answer as well ✨.………Solution:See, 16¹⁶ is a big number. In fact, it is equal to 18,446,744,073,709,551,616. But the trick is not about the size of number, but about how exponents work.Using elimination technique, let us check each option:

Option a: 16¹⁵

16¹⁵ is basically 16 multiplied by itself 15 times. This will give much smaller than half of 16¹⁵. This is not dividing by 2, but it is like removing the entire factor of 16. So, this is not the correct option.

Option b: 8¹⁶

Here, it is 8 raised to the power of 16. But this is not the same thing as dividing 16¹⁶ by 2.
