Umm... okay. Kaldric Send a noteboard - 11/05/2010 05:27:37 PM
I got this in an e-mail from my mom today. Figured I'd send it on to amuse y'all. I'm sure some of you won't find it hard at all. I will post the answer, but it'll be hidden!!! And I won't tell you how you get the answer, either.

Try to solve this puzzle, before you open the attachment
Apparently only people with an IQ over 120 are able to figure it out ... Keep your brain active and think about it:

if
2 + 3 = 10
7 + 2 = 63
6 + 5 = 66
8 + 4 = 96
Then:
9 + 7 = 144


I expected it to be a lot harder. (N1 + N2)*N1 = N3

P.S. The "NSSP" is implied.

Of course, [Quixote] carried it a bit too far. He thought that every windmill was a giant. That's insane. But, thinking that they might be...

I despise these sorts of problems (spoiler) - 09/05/2010 09:38:41 PM 940 Views
that is correct (now no looking ahead, cheaters ) *NM* - 09/05/2010 09:43:35 PM 426 Views
Based on the view count I would say at least half the people have decided to cheat *NM* - 09/05/2010 09:52:42 PM 428 Views

Oh yeah. - 09/05/2010 10:08:48 PM 873 Views
Not bad. Try this one. - 09/05/2010 10:21:42 PM 913 Views

That's going to bug me for ages now. - 09/05/2010 11:48:07 PM 826 Views
It is a lot harder, and you probably are . - 09/05/2010 11:53:26 PM 850 Views
You would need a good base in math to figure it out. *NM* - 10/05/2010 12:03:09 AM 449 Views
That... that was either brilliant or terrible. *NM* - 10/05/2010 12:10:12 AM 384 Views
It was a definite hint. - 10/05/2010 12:26:41 AM 853 Views
*NM* - 10/05/2010 12:25:03 AM 410 Views
Yeah, probably 99.9% of people won't get this, but it has less to do with patterns I think (spoiler) - 10/05/2010 12:21:06 AM 841 Views
This is correct. (spoiler obviously) - 10/05/2010 12:25:02 AM 816 Views
Right. I guess I might've found that eventually. - 10/05/2010 12:29:57 AM 852 Views
I never like base change ones, let me see if I can remember one... - 10/05/2010 01:28:06 AM 875 Views
To save confusion, anyone who gets that just give it in base 10 *NM* - 10/05/2010 01:52:45 AM 432 Views

Re: I hated this stuff in school, and always skipped it. - 10/05/2010 06:59:02 PM 860 Views
The one you got was poorly written. - 10/05/2010 01:37:26 AM 898 Views

Ths is not a logic problem. It's a puzzle. - 10/05/2010 02:33:19 PM 741 Views
Re: No no, there's a definite pattern. - 10/05/2010 06:50:01 PM 758 Views
ok, how do you analyze the problem? - 10/05/2010 08:08:21 PM 865 Views
Re: ok, how do you analyze the problem? - 10/05/2010 09:14:48 PM 774 Views
