Good exercise for your brain.

Solve it on your own.

It is of the "2 x 2 = 4" level of problem.

There is no need to post it to the forum.

2 x 2 = 4.

What I want to say is THIS:

    The problems of this kind are the food for your brain.

    If I solve it, it will be the same as if I consume the food intended for your brain.

    I think it would be not good from my side.
