Question Puzzle for you


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.

I've sent you a post Buck.

I usually don't try to think too hard about things but enjoyed the puzzle.

Looking forward to some more puzzles/quizes.

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'.

Is 144 right?

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

Arrow 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

That was a tricky one, I got a good one.


Jimmy's mother had 4 children. She named the first child Monday. She named the second child Tuesday. The third child is named Wednesday. What is the name of the fourth child?

I didn't get this one. Can you?

PM me for the answer.

Every one got the correct answer....except me.

For answering the correct question, you have all won a free desk top wallpaaper of PeeWee Herman wearing a speedo.


For the web site with more difficult questions go to:

And I graduated from grade 12, and it only took me 5 times.

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.
