Gotta be this. I think you have to notice that the time, number of bananas and vertices do matter.

88 goddammit !

You can't tell as there is insufficient data.
However, I agree with bob. The answer ought to be 38
but, it : could be different assuming that the clock value changesif you move the hands but a bunch of bananas doesn't and is just worth 4 no matter how many bananas there are.
An alternate answer is Produced if you dont apply the vodkas rule in which case it becomes 88.

51 or 50 but the clock bit is just deliberately confusing

conyoviejo · Post by **conyoviejo** » Sun Mar 11, 2018 7:49 pm

" THE ANSWER IS "

Clock = 2
Bananas = 3
The two shapes in total = 11 (lines)

No doubt there will be plenty of different views ,but this is the answer without using BODMAS .....(2 + 3 + 3 x 11) = 88

If you use BODMAS it becomes (2+ 3 + ( 3 x 11) ) = 38

Hope that kept you amused for a few minutes if nothing else..

Darnhill Claret · Post by **Darnhill Claret** » Sun Mar 11, 2018 7:56 pm

The answer is 120.

There is no “without using BODMAS” as BODMAS is part of the rules of basic mathematics

15+15+15 = 45
4+4+15 = 23
3+4+4 = 11

So....
3+4+(4x11) = 51

How can this be wrong?

The clock says 2 (not 3)
There are 3 bananas (not 4)

88

Top shape had 15 sides= 15
Banana=1
Clock at 3pm=3
Clock at 2pm =2

2pm+3bananas+3bananas=8 x bottom shape has 11 sides =88

Only noticed bottom shape difference after another glance!

The 'top shape' becomes 11 once the square is removed.

No I don't.
Good as my late friend always said "check your work"
And as others have pointed out the figures number according to the sides which fall from 15 to 11, the clock goes from 3 to 2 o'clock (I got that) and the nanas number 4 then 3.
Enjoyed getting that wrong.
Think I will test my grandson and see how he does

I make it 255. Then read again and saw bananas , so 88.

while we are here with maths:

Is there anyone out there with deep understanding of maths that can explain the relevance of “erf?” I know the value is related to Gaussian distribution and depends on the magnitude of the equality. But where does it come from/ how is it derived?

i.e C = erf { some expression] where erf depends on C.

Unfortunately, Rick, you're confusing pure science with puzzling. When you're applying for a Nobel Priza, then you need to use Bodmas at all times; but this doesn't mean that number puzzles that don't use Bodmas can't exist. Numerous such puzzles do exist, especially when they involve fitting missing numbers into a square.

I was under as I assumed the bananas were from Aldi.

It's the error function when integrating the normal distribution.
