Ok heres a good one found it else where. Please give me a hand..
OK, folks, I am really irritated by this problem. I was just watching some crap interactive TV quiz channel (www.quiz.tv) and the following mathematical puzzle was put forward. After about 60 years of incorrect answers, someone gave the answer of 2,260 and was correct. Infuriatingly, the host did not reveal the thinking that led to this answer, and it is driving me mad - I've been through so many combinations and equations, but just can't get the above answer from the thing (I lead a dull life, I know). Can any of you please shed any light, before I go insane trying to work it out? Add up all the numbers in this list to get the answer. Employ lateral thinking. (1) Pedals on a bike (2) Seasons in a year (3) Legs on a duck (4) Eggs in a dozen (5) Days in a week Here is my work thus far: A 1 B 2 C 3 D 4 E 5 F 6 G 7 H 8 I 9 J 10 K 11 L 12 M 13 N 14 O 15 P 16 Q 17 R 18 S 19 T 20 U 21 V 22 W 23 X 24 Y 25 Z 26 Add up all the numbers in this list to get the answer. Employ lateral thinking. (1) Pedals on a bike (2) Seasons in a year (3) Legs on a duck (4) Eggs in a dozen (5) Days in a week + ----- 27 (this if you add up what the answers are to the question asked above) ============================================================= Add up all the numbers in this list to get the answer. Employ lateral thinking. (1) Pedals on a bike (2) Seasons in a year (3) Legs on a duck (4) Eggs in a dozen (5) Days in a week + (4*1)+(9*6)+(3*10)+(4*15)+(1*21)+(2*12)+(7*1)+(7*14)+(4*4)+(2*25)+(3*7)+ (7*19)+16+26+2+3=634 (adding the letter value of each letter in each question) ============================================================= Add up all the numbers in this list to get the answer. Employ lateral thinking. (1) Pedals on a bike (2) Seasons in a year (3) Legs on a duck (4) Eggs in a dozen (5) Days in a week + (ok so in math we do whats in () first then move on. So what if we have to add line one up first, then line two etc. Will it add to whats above? 634?) (16+5+4+1+12+19+15+14+1+2+9+11+5) = 114 + (19+5+1+19+15+14+19+9+14+1+25+5+1+18) = 165 + (12+5+7+19+15+14+1+4+21+3+11) = 112 + (5+7+7+19+9+14+1+4+15+26+5+14) = 126 + (4+1+25+19+9+14+1+23+5+5+11) = 117 -------- 634 |
