Level 8

In arithmetic the convention is to multiply or divide before adding or subtracting so the correct answer is 15

10+10+10=30
5+5+10=20
4+4+5=13

(10/2)+(5+4+10)x(4/2) = 5+19x2 = 5+38 = 43

I don't think this pictogram is particularly valid though, so I'd also accept unsolvable.

Level 8
  1. Explanation:
    Each shoe in the pair is 5 (5and5=10, 10+10+10=30)
    Each boy is 5 (5+5+10=20)
    Each newspaper cone in the pair is 2 (2and2=4, 4+4+5=13)
    So, 5+(5x2)=15

Oh crap, I'm still wrong. I missed the last boy holding the cones and wearing the shoes. But do I add them together first as one item or multiply by the single cone first?... Okay, my brain hurts...

@bleurowz No, You are correct

Level 6

I get 10

and I'm wrong. Change my answer to 48

Level 8

15...er...nope, 43

half a shoe = 5
little dude=5
half a cone thing=2

order of operations

5+5x2....multiply first, so 5x2=10...add the 5 = 15

but...did anyone notice that the little dude had on a pair of pink sneakers and is carrying two coney things? That would make him a 19...19x2=38, +5= 43....ha ha ha

@clarkems Details, darling...details...they are important...

good catch.
I wonder if the little items are worth 10% or so.

@clarkems Most of them are not true math tests at all...the math is the easiest thing about it...many here can do math easily (we are a smart group of people)...you are correct...it is seeing outside the box...paying attention to details and nuances...to me, that is exceptional

@Agamic Yes, the little dude in the last formula is 19...we agree on that...

@thinktwice Doh! I did not see the dude had the sneakers and the cones in the last row....

@LizBeth I missed it first round as well...I have learned to slow down a bit and take it all in first, then respond...maybe that is the lesson to be learned from this...think twice! ha ha aha hahha

@thinktwice Think thrice! That's what it took me. 😛

Level 5

So what is the answer......?
Put me out if my misery please ?!

Level 5

5+5×2=20

Level 8

Tricky. 5+ (5+5+5+2+2) x 2= 43

I second that

As I recall, you also zoned in on the last one he posted....we would have fun doing puzzles together... 🙂

12

1 was wrong with 12 - I neglected the ‘order of operations’ .... I thought the last row were all added together but the last row is 5 + (5 x 2) = 15
