this is a test of intelligence, reasoning and visual perception.

the values are shown by the pictures.
6 vertices stars, 5 vertices stars.
3 'o' clock, 2 'o' clock
4 fan blades, 3 fan blades.

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)

Re: Mathematicians And Thinkers Can You Solve This by hamilton62(m):
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

i think the bolded should be 2x6 OR 6+6 since it is two stars

No! Each star is solo... my bad on the statement but had to be square

Exactly... Some people r busy writing essays while the answer is painfully simple.

The value of the star is dependent on the edges 1st stars have 6 edges, last stars have 5 edges.

The value of d fan is the number of blades it has, sum have 4 blades and some have 3 blades.

The value of the clock is the hour (1st clocks say 3oclock) second clock says 2oclock.
Re: Mathematicians And Thinkers Can You Solve This by Nobody: 9:31pm On Jun 07, 2017
The answer is either 23 or 53 depending on your interpretation.

The fan + The clock + Double star.

The fan has three edges, The clock reads at 2'o clock while the star has five points.

Solution.
You can take the double star as 5*5 = 25 or you take it as 5+5 = 10. Taking any of this figure depend on your interpretation. The expected solution will be

3 + 2*25 = 53
or
3 + 2 * (5 +5) = 23.

For me, I go with 53

dejt4u:

You are right. The answer can also be calculated as 53. It's all about perception

3+2*(5*5)
Re: Mathematicians And Thinkers Can You Solve This by Kylekent59:
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
