He got everything right, actually. Infact, his approach is top notch. He solved it like a real mathematician would. I guess he's a mathematics student himself, if not, perhaps engineering.

The OP himself has confirmed the rightness of his - telim - approach and answer.

According to the OP, it never mattered what time it is, in the clock, or how the calculator and bulb looks like. What matters is what the clock, calculator and bulb represents as a whole, which is 10, 4, and 5 respectively.
You don't learn and that's the problem with you Nigerians.


If there are three clock at 12 o' clock which sum up and = 30

What would the one at 7 o' clock be?

What about the one at 12 o' clock and 20 seconds?


That's just only for clock...


What about the light bulbs and calculator?


Hahahahahahaha

That's for you to sort out, mister learner.

Create your own question/questions with strict sets of rules for each pictorial illustration, which would guide the emergence of the final answer, since you're dissatisfied with the OP's form of question and the supplied answers.
Re: Brain Teaser, Who Can Solve This Maths Trick by hslbroker2(m): 4:28pm On May 02
Here’s the pattern:
First row:
Clock + Clock + Clock = 30
So each clock = 10
Second row:
Clock + Bulb + Bulb = 20
10 + 2 bulbs = 20
So each bulb = 5
Third row:
Bulb + Calculator + Calculator = 13
5 + 2 calculators = 13
So each calculator = 4
Final row:
Calculator + Clock × Bulb
= 4 + 10 × 5
Remember multiplication comes first:

Then:

✅ Answer: 54

4 + 10x5 = 4 + 50 = 54.


The correct answer is 54.

This is an easy one bro.
Re: Brain Teaser, Who Can Solve This Maths Trick by SPAMBOX7: 4:49pm On May 02
If you apply BODMAS = 54
If not the answer is 70

But since it's math then 54 is the correct answer
Re: Brain Teaser, Who Can Solve This Maths Trick by mathnike(m): 4:52pm On May 02
The value of the clock is 10
The value of the bulb is 5
The value of the calculator is 4

So, 4+10x5 = 54
According to order of operations (Bodmas)

10+10+10=30
10+5+5=20
5+4+4=13
10+5+4=19

Re: Brain Teaser, Who Can Solve This Maths Trick by Great9japikin: 5:13pm On May 02
10+10+10=30
10+5+5 = 20
5+4+4 = 13
4+10*5 = 70

Accept your failure and learn


That's what would make you a good person and a better mathematicians


The hardest task on earth is one acknowledging his or har failure, just like you are doing now.

It's hard, right?

No solution

The 3 calculators are all different = Thats different variables in equation 2 and 3

You need same type of calculator in equation 2 to determine the value of calculator in equation 3

Got so far

Clock @12 = 10
Clock@7 = 5
Bulb = 7.5

No, rather, you should rub your own resounding failure on your body. Your assertion isn't even relevant.

And if you think it's relevant, it's another epic failure on your part, for you not to discern that your skepticism should have been properly channelled to the OP.
Re: Brain Teaser, Who Can Solve This Maths Trick by femi4: 5:59pm On May 02

Correct

From the image:
⏰ + ⏰ + ⏰ = 30
→ Each clock = 10
⏰ + 💡 + 💡 = 20
→ 10 + 2 bulbs = 20
→ 2 bulbs = 10 → Each bulb = 5
💡 + 🧮 + 🧮 = 13
→ 5 + 2 calculators = 13
→ 2 calculators = 8 → Each calculator = 4

Final line:

🧮 + ⏰ × 💡

Apply BODMAS (multiplication first):

→ 4 + (10 × 5)
→ 4 + 50
→ 54 ✅
Wrong
The calculators aint the same

2. The clock in eq 2 is not @12 o clock, so bulb is 7.5 not 5

There is no solution cos of the printing error with the calculators

Re: Brain Teaser, Who Can Solve This Maths Trick by Emmypeek(m): 8:06pm On May 02
To solve this puzzle, you have to spot the small changes in the icons in the final row. Here is the breakdown:
## The Variables
* **Clocks:** In the first row, three clocks set to 10 o'clock add up to 30. This means the value of the clock is determined by the time it shows. (10 + 10 + 10 = 30).
* **Lightbulbs:** In the second row, one 10 o'clock clock (10) plus two bulbs equals 20. The remaining 10 is split between two bulbs, meaning a bulb with 5 light rays is worth 5. (10 + 5 + 5 = 20).
* **Calculators:** In the third row, one bulb (5) plus two calculators equals 13. This leaves 8 for the two calculators, so each is worth 4. If you look at the buttons (1+2+2+3), they add up to 8, meaning each calculator's value is the sum of the digits shown on its screen.
## The Final Equation
Now, look closely at the symbols in the last line:
1. **The Calculator:** The digits shown are 1+2+2+4. So, the calculator = **9**.
2. **The Clock:** The hands are pointing to 3 o'clock. So, the clock = **3**.
3. **The Lightbulb:** It only has 4 light rays instead of 5. So, the bulb = **4**.
**The Math:**
Following the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), you must multiply before you add:
The final answer is **21**.
