53

3+2*(5*5)
Not 5*5 but 5+5

The star are doubled and each edges represent 1

So (1+1+1+1+1)+(1+1+1+1+1)

Meaning 2 5 edged stars 2(10)=20am just clearing u on d stars edge

You are right. The answer can also be calculated as 53.
It's all about perception
There is nothing like perception
Let's do some practical
U kept 500 naira and 1000 naira in a saving box. How much did u think is in the safe box?
Isn't it 1500 naira.
Then why multiplying 1000*500 I mean the 5*5. It is meant to be 5+5 and not 5*5.
Hope you understand now
Or let's do it this way again
U kept 500 naira on top of 1000 naira and you kept 100 naira on top of 200 naira, and now you want to know the total money you have
Then u calculate : (1000 + 500) + (100+ 200). Isn't that so?
Hope you understand this time

Wrong.
The ans is 23. Kylekent59 is correct

U are all failing it here (5*5)


It is (5+5) 2 edged stars with each of it having a single edge =1.
3+(2*10)= 23

You are right that each star has edges with each one representing a unit value. But your interpretation of the last equation is wrong. The last equation is a quadratic equation. 3+ 2×5sq and not 3 + 2× (5+5). Those 2 stars in the last equation are not 'two stars' but star.star which is squared star in mathematica.

byteHead:

let the star=x
let the fan =y
let the clock =z


x +x +x =18 , x=6
2y + 6 =14 , y=4
2z - 4 =2 , z =3

y + z * x=4 + 3 * 6 =22 (using BODMAS)

VERY WRONG grin

First and foremost you observe and note all the equations.

Observations: three 6 edges stars,two 5 edges stars,two 4 fan blades,one three fanblades, two clocks that reads 3'O'clock and one clock that reads 2'0'clock

Now we are good to solve and calculate.
From the first equation
6 edges star + 6 edges star+ 6 edges star = 18
6+6+6=18
18=18 (meaning each edges represents 1)

From equation 2


4 fan blades+4 fan blades+ 6 edges star(6*1=6) =14
8 blades+6=14
8 blades=14- 6
8 blades=8
(meaning each fan blade represents 1)

For equation 3
3'0'clock + 3'0' clock - 4 fan blades(4*1=4) = 02
3'0' clock + 3'0' clock =2+4( note that -4 crossed over to the other side to become +4)

3'0' clock + 3'0' clock = 6
6'0' clock=6 (meaning each time represents 1 multiply by its reading)

And finally the last equation
Note: 3 fan blades(3*1=3) and a clock reads 2'0' clock (2*1=2) and a double stars with 5 edges (meaning 5+5=10 edges=10*1=10)
So we can now fix it into the equation to get the final answer
3 fan blades(3*1=3) + (2'0' clock=2*1=2) + 5 doubled edges star(5*1=5)

3+(2*10)=3+20=23
The correct answer is 23
Thank you all

You're brilliant and your attention to details is admirable!

Re: Mathematicians And Thinkers Can You Solve This by Nobody: 8:38am On Jun 08, 2017
6 + 6 + 6 = 18

4 + 4 + 6 = 14

4 + 4 - 6 = 02

I noticed that the fan blade reduced by one :-1, the time on the clock say two instead of three :-1, the star shape now has five edges: -1

So 3 + 2 * 2(5) = 23..
So let's say I'll go for 23..

Can you solve this?
one fan=4,,, the first watch in d first equation reads 3.0clock so is =3 but in th last equation the clock there reads 2.0clock so its=2 one star is =6 therefore 2 star is =13,mathematically we have something like this: 4+2*12=72 Answer=72

lol. Continue living in delusion. your money analogy is not apt. There is no mathematical operator in your wallet so your analogy is flawed. The equation at hand has mathematical operators.

Btw, the absence of operators in the set of equations would have made your analogy valid

for the star and fan each handle or blade is 1 and they changes as you go down for the combine star it is 53 since it has five handles showing to the left and 3 to the right for the clock the hand points to 2 in the last diagram while 3 in other diagrams
considering the above, we can have 109.
Re: Mathematicians And Thinkers Can You Solve This by braimeddy: 6:46pm On Jun 08, 2017
It's a logical question, it has nothing to do wit BODMAS. The answer is simply 40.

Let me give u a clue. You are right by saying the star = 6. Fan=4 and clock=3

Ok count the num of edges d fan has which is 6. The fan has 4 blades and check the clock, it shows 3 O'clock

Now let come to the final question, u will notice that the fan has 3 blades, the clock is showing 2 O'clock and the star now has 8 edges.

Therefore, it will be 3 + 2 * 8 = 40
hamilton62:
Star + Star + Star = 18,
3 Stars = 18,
Therefore, 1 star = 18/3 =6,
star = 6

Fan + Fan + Star = 14,
2 Fans + 6 = 14,
2 Fans = 14-6,
2 Fans = 8,
1 Fan = 8/2,
Fan = 4
,

Clock + Clock - Fan = 2,
2 Clocks - 4 = 2
,
2 Clocks = 2 + 4
,
2 Clocks = 6
,
Clock = 6/2
,
Clock = 3
,

Therefore,
Fan + Clock *
Star * Star = ?
,
4 + 3 * 6*6 = ?
,
Introducing BODMAS
,
Because M= multiplication comes first before A = addition.
Then, 4 + 108 = ?
,
112 = ?
,
Therefore, ? = 112
