The third season of popular web series Kota Factory will soon arrive on Netflix, revealed the streamer on Thursday through a fun video featuring a maths problem that holds the key to the release date.

The video features Jitendra Kumar, who plays the role of Jeetu Bhaiya in the show, posing a mathematical challenge whose answer holds the key to the release date.

“Surprise test. Kota Factory: Season 3 out on June __ 🧐 #KotaFactoryS3OnNetflix,” Netflix wrote on X alongside the one-minute video.

The video begins with Jeetu Bhaiya writing a maths problem on the blackboard. “There’s full attendance in the comments section. What are the comments like? ‘When is Kota Factory Season 3 coming?’. ‘When is Jeetu Bhaiya returning’. I am coming soon and so is Kota Factory Season 3,” he says, facing the camera and urging fans to solve the problem written on the blackboard.

The maths problem written on the blackboard is: 8 + 4 X 3 - 6 / 2 + 3^2 / 3 X 2 - 3. “The release date lies in the solution. So pick up your pen and get started,” Jeetu Bhaiya signs off.

The response was swift with fans quickly deciphering the clue and confirming June 20 as the much-anticipated release date for Kota Factory Season 3.

Kota Factory, a coming-of-age series created by The Viral Fever, is set in Kota, Rajasthan, renowned for its coaching institutes.
