Puzzle for you

[BuckeyeFan]

PM your answer to me and I will let you know if you are right. Please don't enter the answer in the thread so others may enjoy the puzzle. HAVE FUN.




Please look at the math below:

They say only people with an IQ 120 and over are able to figure this out.

If:
2 + 3 = 10
7 + 2 = 63
6 + 5 = 66
8 + 4 = 96

Then:
9 + 7 = ????


By the way I got it right. :rock:

[Nakamova]

I've pm'ed a guess. Hope it's right! Math is not my strong point...

 

[Rae1889]

Yeah I PM'd too. i think i got it right, and i think it was only by chance if i did. I saw something right away and just acted on it without making sure it worked with any of the other numbers....

I gave this to a person I work and all he said was '2+3 doesn't equal 10 so there can be no answer'.

Errr - next Puzzle Bucko?

 

[hootie]

I was going to PM the answer to Buckeye (same as Brain:agree but I could not figure out how to do it. Did I get it right???

 

[valeriedl]

Is 144 right?

That's what I got, so I must be pretty smart. I'm good at math.

 

[brain]

The answer to the solution and how it adds, err multiplies up

Okay:

Here's how the puzzle works:

2+3=5
which means
(5x2=10)
2+3=10
7+2=63

How did that come to being?

7+2=9
9x7=63

etc ... follow the pattern?

So the final answer is:

now 9+7=?

9+7=16

16x9=144

Hi valeriedl. The horsese name was Friday, but I can't take credit. I have heard
that one before. An oldie but a goody.

Sorry for giving the answer away, I was sure I sent a private post.
Thanks valeriedl.

Have a good one.
