Now, online ticket booking has made many formalities easier. We get a lot of experience while booking online. Sometimes the internet doesn’t work, the website works slowly, we make mistakes while filing details and many more. Recently, a person shared his experience while checking his PNR status.

While checking his online PNR status, a man got a complex captcha with a math sum, which he had shared on social media. He says the experience turned into a math exam. Many users have reacted to his post.

“Sorry for checking the PNR status, please forgive me,” the tweet reads. Before the user could access ticket information, the captcha reportedly displayed the calculation (9876 x 543 – 2468) / 4 =? The user posted the screenshot and said he was merely attempting to look up his PNR status and pleading to be spared.

He made a suggestion in another post that the math problems on the IRCTC website had suddenly become considerably more difficult. Many people found the incident funny and the post quickly drew the attention of online users. Some passengers stated that they may need to have calculators on hand shortly when booking tickets or checking their PNR status.
