Logic Problem
 

16? lol I've never been logical.

No. Not 16.

Well I thought it was a trick question. lol Technically it's 16. Or else it's ????

It's a logic problem. You can't figure out the "then:" until you figure out the "if:". http://forum.psychlinks.ca/images/smilies/smile.png

IF you can't figure out the answer right away, THEN cheat and use Google http://forum.psychlinks.ca/images/smilies/biggrin.png

Is Daniel right or should i try working this out? (Heh i say that like i actually have a chance of getting the answer http://forum.psychlinks.ca/images/smilies/lol.gif, my eyes glaze over just at the thought of numbers)

Obviosuly I have to change the rules. http://forum.psychlinks.ca/images/smilies/smile.png

The answer isn't enough. You have to show why the answer is correct.

Of course I'm right http://forum.psychlinks.ca/images/smilies/smile.png

9 * (9+7) = 9 * 16 = 144

Yes.

More completely:

2 + 3 = 10 -> 2 * (2+3) = 10
7 + 2 = 63 -> 7 * (7+2) = 63
6 + 5 = 66 -> 6 * (6+5) = 66
8 + 4 = 96 -> 8 * (8+4) = 96

so:

9 + 7 = 144 -> 9 * (9+7) = 144

What the hell are those star thingies? That just looks like gibberish to me http://forum.psychlinks.ca/images/smilies/lol.gif

I am out of this thread before i make an even bigger fool of myself http://forum.psychlinks.ca/images/smilies/lol.gif

You're probably more familiar with the "×" sign. Perhaps we should start a poll of which multiplication sign is best http://forum.psychlinks.ca/images/smilies/biggrin.png

Hehe yes i would have understood the X sign.

When at school do you draw little stars? http://forum.psychlinks.ca/images/smilies/lol.gif

Gogo poll!
