Seventy

25 - multiplication done first so it is 3 + 2 + (2x10)

Eleventy...

(its 10)

Sausage · Post by **Sausage** » Fri Mar 08, 2019 3:55 pm

Cookie = 10
Banana = 2
Lemon (it is a lemon, isn't it?) = 3

3 + 2 + (2 x 10) = 25

Remember to do your multiplication first, everyone.

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Fri Mar 08, 2019 3:56 pm

28

(cookie in the last sum isn't the same as in the first 2)

Rick_Muller · Post by **Rick_Muller** » Fri Mar 08, 2019 3:56 pm

No really, its 10

Banana equals one.

In that case the answer is 2 + 1 + (1 x7) = 10

...and number of pieces (rabbit droppings) on the cookie are what matter, along with the right time on the clock...

And cookie in last one equals 7 (count the chips)

gawthorpe_view · Post by **gawthorpe_view** » Fri Mar 08, 2019 3:58 pm

1x10 = 10 + 1+2 = 13?

Rick_Muller · Post by **Rick_Muller** » Fri Mar 08, 2019 3:59 pm

...it's still 10

gawthorpe_view · Post by **gawthorpe_view** » Fri Mar 08, 2019 3:59 pm

And with the bananas - that would make it 3 + 1 + (1x7) = 11

Hibsclaret · Post by **Hibsclaret** » Fri Mar 08, 2019 4:03 pm

2 + 1 + (1 x 7) = 10

Bosscat · Post by **Bosscat** » Fri Mar 08, 2019 4:06 pm

Spotted the spots lol and the missing banana's now

11 dohhhhhhh

The clocks in line 3 are at 3 o'clock

The clock in line 4 is at 2 o'clock

(and I still think they look like lemons)

CaptainKirk · Post by **CaptainKirk** » Fri Mar 08, 2019 4:09 pm

Surely, the biscuit would have to be in brackets for the multiplication to be done first:
3+2+2(10) = 25
Without any brackets is it not:
3+2+2 x 10 = 70?

Standard mathematics, if no brackets then multiplication is done first.

14

Cookies are 10
Bananas are 1 each. (Note halving number of bananas next line)
Yellow thing is 3

Therefore 3+1+(1x10) =14

If the clock hands are to be believed then it would be 13

Wrong

On the last line

Clock = 2
Bananas = 1
Cookie = 7

Therefore 2+1+1 x7 (no brackets) = 28

It's not Hendrick in the 'number 10' role, I know that for certain.

You don't need brackets - without them you do the multiplication first - to get to your answer you would need to see (2+1+1) x 7

Hipper · Post by **Hipper** » Fri Mar 08, 2019 5:14 pm

40 wrong!

I once answered a similar type of puzzle in a newspaper advert for Mensa which had the same sort of come on - 'Einstein got this in 3 seconds'. Three hours later, I decided to send it in with the wrong answer and things like 8x7=48 etc. written on it. Mensa still sent me their bumf with various IQ tests but I never got round to doing them as I went out to play football.

The question is "why is there no question mark ?"

Or indeed an apostrophe.

Or a capital w.

spadesclaret · Post by **spadesclaret** » Fri Mar 08, 2019 6:30 pm

or 28
if you can see the time properly

Goody1975 · Post by **Goody1975** » Fri Mar 08, 2019 8:57 pm

Impossible to answer, just because the cookies on the top line are worth ten does not mean we know the one on the bottom is worth seven.

If we assume that then the answer is 11

Edit

Same with the clock in the middle, which i have now seen is different in the last line.

So 10 like others have said.
