Been about 5 minutes... I haven't figured it out yet.
Solve this
Personally I think the time given in the paragraph is crap. No way is any kid going to spend five to ten minutes on that. They'd be bored to tears after less than 30 seconds, so either they got it right away or wondered off to do something else.

Got it.
I not only disagree with the time given, but I want to meet the pre-school kid who even understands there's a puzzle to be solved there.

“Every record been destroyed or falsified, books rewritten, pictures repainted, statues, street building renamed, every date altered. The process is continuing day by day. History stops. Nothing exists except endless present in which the Party is right.”
I didn't get it instantly like Catt and TPR because I was WAY over thinking it.
It took me between 5-10 minutes before I realized my mistake.

Oh, wait, you still don't have it? Really?
Wow.
Okay, maybe this tip will help: I think the reason I read why kids are better at it is bullshit. They said that kids who don't understand numbers as mathematical symbols instead look at them as just drawings, and thus they get this very quickly. But then if that were the reason, how would they understand the numbers to the right of the equals signs as the solutions to each equation? They'd need little dot patterns or something.

I assume that means you got it.
Want to feel better? Post the image to FB. Tell folks not to post the answer, but only when they "got it". They can IM you to find out if they're right.
Of course, that could backfire if all the stupid people you might know respond back in seconds with the right answer

I'd look at it a couple minutes here and there. So, no idea what the total time was. >5 minutes, <20. I also agree that a preschooler wouldn't understand what they are looking at either. There would have to be more of an explanation. "Here's a picture. Solve it." Really? Everything stated above, agreed.
It's not a bad puzzle. The text above it is bullshit.
I solved it somewhat quickly. Does that mean I'm stupid?
