An Unusual Situation Occurred in a Condominium of the Federal Capital When a Deliverer Was Searching for House Number 8 and Found Only the Symbol √64 Painted on the Wall, Transforming the Delivery Into a Viral Scene on Social Media.
What was supposed to be a simple delivery in Brasília (DF) ended up becoming a challenge worthy of a mathematical riddle. The deliverer Lucas Esllenyk reported that he spent over half an hour driving through the streets of a condominium in search of house number 8. According to him, he was about to give up when he realized that the problem was not the location, but rather how the address was identified.
According to information released by Portal6, the residence did not display the traditional numbering on the facade. Instead, on the yellow wall, there was only the inscription “√64.” It was at that moment that the deliverer remembered his math classes from school and concluded that the symbol represented exactly the number he was looking for, since the square root of 64 equals 8.

From Confusion to Viral on Social Media
The case quickly became an engagement phenomenon. Lucas recorded a video telling the story and published it on TikTok, where the content surpassed thousands of views in no time. In the comments, internet users reacted with humor to the curious situation.

“Out of anger, I wouldn’t deliver,” joked one user. Another quipped: “Then people say: why do I need to learn square roots?” The post not only entertained the public but also opened space for reflections on how small details can transform routine tasks into memorable events.
Repercussion and Curiosity About the Resident
Among the reactions, there were also those who suggested that the resident might be a math teacher, using the unusual numbering as a sort of creative signature. Other internet users commented that, with this choice, the house probably doesn’t receive many deliveries without mishaps.
In any case, the situation went viral and solidified yet another curious story from the daily life of deliverers, who constantly face surprises and challenges during their work.
And you, would you accept deliveries at a house with an address written this way, or would you also get lost like the deliverer?
