graphic not working = will try again



Pay attention to details

Thanks Ptah

[Lochloosa]

1. Ok I give up. Check the link

5. Tried but can't correct it

Here's the google page

[TheBlackAdder]

60. 3. The answer to everything always seems to be 3 or a multiple of it.

[DontBooVote]

2. You have to squint!

[Ptah]

3. 8.75

[itsrobert]

4. 20

10 + 10 + 10 = 30

5 + 5 + 10 = 20

(2 x 2) + (2 x 2) + 5 = 13

10 + (5 x 2) = 20

Always do multiplication first.

[Ptah]

6. Why did you multiply the 2s?

[malaise]

7. Thanks

Couldn't get the graphic to show

This one is fascinating

[itsrobert]

8. Was thinking.

Was thinking. XX. Which would be x to the 2nd power which is X times X

[Ptah]

9. Did you multiply the shoes?

[itsrobert]

14. Lol

I'm dumb.

[Ptah]

15. After looking at the details, I see I got the wrong answer.

[Beartracks]

30. In last line, only one shoe not a pair. :)

[ornotna]

65. a pair of shoes on the guys feet

and a scarf in each hand.

[Beartracks]

70. Oh! Yeah. And what about on his wrists, too?

I didn't see that earlier, either. Is that two more of the "scarves"? Maybe they're not scarves...



===========

[ornotna]

85. Not sure what they are

Look like scarves in the individual depictions. They seem to wrap around his wrists and hang down a Little. I figured one for each hand plus the pair of shoes he was wearing to get to my answer.

[lpbk2713]

10. Unknown

All the scarves aren't the same and the last man is not the same.
Two unknowns on the third line equals and unknown.

[malaise]

12. Ha

He has scarves in his hands and check some other things

[lpbk2713]

13. Wristbands, laces on his shoes. He doesn't belong.

He just came in off the street. If you can tell those are scarves in his hands, you're better than me.

[Noreastern]

11. 30

10 + (5 x 4) = 30

[Yavin4]

19. Only one shoe and one tie in the final equation. n/t

[First Speaker]

16. I got 60...

...wondering where I went wrong...

[Yavin4]

17. 15

Each shoe = 5
Each dude = 5
Each tie = 2

[MrsCoffee]

24. That's what I'm thinking.

The 5, 5, 2

[X_Digger]

18. wait, he has ties in his hands and shoes on. arrgh.

*Each* shoe is five, *each* tie is 1

5 + ((5 + 5 + 5 + 1 + 1) x 1)

5 + 17 x 1

5 + 17

22

[smirkymonkey]

34. One scarf is worth 2

so it would be 19 x 2 = 38

+ 5 = 43

I think. Do we have the correct answer yet?

[X_Digger]

37. arrgh, yup.. 43. n/t

[MrsCoffee]

20. I came up with 12.

Oh... misread the X as +

Now 15 makes sense lol.

[malaise]

36. I got it wrong

The experts say 15 without zoom - that's a whole different equation

[lunatica]

21. 8.5

[ornotna]

22. 43

[OilemFirchen]

29. You are correct, by my calculation.

[ornotna]

33. A higher resolution graphic would have helped

Took several looks.

[DFW]

59. That's what I got, too

I laid out the details below.

[Sunsky]

23. 15?

Upon further observation, I think it's 43. Didn't see the accessories on the guy. Tricky.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

25. I got 19, but this is high math.

[Jeroen]

27. 40

[PJMcK]

32. Yep (n/t)

[mindem]

28. 12

[EarnestPutz]

88. One shoe is five....

one guy is also five, and one scarf is two. Answer is 20. But it’s not just simple algebraic substitution, it’s a too cute test of your powers of observation, as one doesn’t notice the change and reads one shoe as shoes, one scarf as scarfs and one doesn’t notice the change to multiplication from addition.

[Afromania]

31. 12 + whatever the guy is carrrying? What is he carrying?

edit: ah just read the posts. I see he has shoes on and is carrying ties. What is that on his wrists, more ties?

[MrsCoffee]

39. Bah, yeah I didn't get that either.

Edit: I think that's just the loop of the tie on his wrists, but I can't see the graphic well.

[Afromania]

40. That makes sense

[Demovictory9]

35. ooops. I didn't pay attend to the X in the last formula

[2naSalit]

38. That stuff makes my mind

glaze over. Never was good at math on paper... so to speak.

[3catwoman3]

82. Me, too. Give me a vocabulary...

...or spelling question any day of the week.

[2naSalit]

93. +1

[Vinca]

41. 12?

I'm usually shitty at this, but the pair of shoes must each be 10, so the guy is 5, the scarves are 4, so one shoe is 5, 1 guy is 5 and 1 scarf is 2. OOOOPS - on edit. The total of the shoe and guy are multiplied by the scarf so it must be 20. Editing again - what's the guy in the last row got in his hands and does it count? Probably isn't 20. Time to go back to crossword puzzles. LOL.

[randr]

42. 22?

44. 20

[lindysalsagal]

47. 15

sneakers are 10
guy is 5
tall red thing is 2

1/2 sneaker is 5 + 5X2 (10) equals 15

[lame54]

48. 20

[JDC]

49. I get 48. Tricky

[NightWatcher]

50. 5 + 5 x 4 equals 40

51. My Solution ... trash every thread by Malaise for a week

as payback for making my head hurt.

[malaise]

56. You win the thread

[saidsimplesimon]

52. malaise, I am not good with

details. Waiting for you to help those like me with the meaning.

[petronius]

53. The answer is leather belt...

[Yavin4]

54. I was told that there would be no math on DU. n/t

[Lochloosa]

64. POP QUIZ!

remember those?

[mobeau69]

55. 40. He's wearing shoes.

Last edited Sun Mar 10, 2019, 08:18 PM - Edit history (1)

LOL

[lame54]

66. And holding ribbons- 48

[DFW]

57. From here, and the time difference might distort things.....

Each shoe is worth 5, each guy is worth 5, and each tie is worth 2, so.....

Since multiplication is done as one calculation where addition and subtraction are done individually (try an equation in Excel to check), the guy with two ties and two shoes is 19, which times 2 is 38, and then plus 5 for the first shoe would make 43.

But it's after midnight here, so I'm claiming fatigue if I missed something.

[skip fox]

58. 16.125?

One shoe (5)

+

One man (5) with two shoes (10) and two scarfs (1.5) =16.5

X

one scarf (.75)

= 16.125

[TexasBushwhacker]

61. 20

Order of operations

[Nevilledog]

62. 60 (edited to 40) (re-edited to 48)

Tennis shoes =10
Guy =5
Scarf = 4

Last equation is
10 + 5 x 4

Shit. Missed the half sneaker.

I get 40

Is that fucker holding two tiny scarves?. Last guess 48.

[malaise]

63. This one will mad the best DUers

hehehehehe

[Nevilledog]

71. Need a "put your damn glasses on" warning!

Truth.....I woulda missed it even with my glasses!

[malaise]

74. Well I did

miss it - even with the glasses - zoom worked after I got it wrong

[Nevilledog]

84. I just realized I still got it wrong.

Way to humble DU......

[nini]

67. 15 with no ties in his hands

If there's ties in his hands - can't tell from the image exactly.. then it's s 23

Shoe = 5
Tie = 2
Man = 5

5+ (5 X 2) = 15 or

5 + (5+4) X 2 = 23


I 'think' lol

On edit: looks like he has shoes on too.. So............
5x2 + (5+4) X 2 = 28

[malaise]

69. You win

[nini]

72. weeeeeeeee

[treestar]

68. You are right

I got 12. Because I missed that the last one was a multiplication sign.

[Sneederbunk]

73. 40?

[Polybius]

75. Lol

Took me a while but I see it now. I originally said 19, easily!

[Chipper Chat]

76. 19

[unblock]

77. Undefined, of course.

A pair of shoes may be 10, but we've not defined the value of a single shoe. Especially because individual shoes are not usually identical. The left shoe could be 4 and the right shoe 6. Or the value of a single shoe could be 1 and the second shoe 9. In reality, the value of a single shoe isn't anything close to the value of half a pair of shoes. What would anyone do with just one shoe?

Nor is the value of a single tie or the value of the man wearing a pair of shoes and holding ties defined.

If you want to make some common but mathematically unsupported assumptions, then the guy wearing shoes and holding ties is 19 (5 for man, 4 for ties, 10 for shoes) times 2 is 38, plus 5 for one shoe = 43.

But the real answer is "undefined".

[moondust]

78. 43

[keithbvadu2]

79. After blundering the details, I get 97.

After blundering the details, I get 97.

Sneaker = 5
Man 5 + two sneakers 10 + two red cloths 8 = 23
Red cloth = 4

5 + (23 x 4 =92) = 97

[MrGrieves]

80. 20 PEMDAS

[MrGrieves]

81. Nevermind couldn't see the difference in this pic

[VOX]

83. 43...whew!

Calculated thus:
3 pairs of shoes = 30
Therefore, 1 pair of shoes must = 10
Therefore, 1 shoe must = 5

1 guy + 1 guy + 1 pair of shoes = 20;
1 pair of shoes = 10
Therefore, 1 guy + 1 guy must = 10
Therefore, 1 guy must = 5

1 pair of wristbands (?) + 1 pair of wristbands
+ 1 guy = 13
Given that 1 guy = 5
Therefore, 2 pairs of wristbands must = 8
Therefore, 1 pair of wristbands must = 4
Therefore, 1 wristband must = 2

Since multiplication must occur FIRST in an algebraic equation:
1 guy worth 5 appears to be wearing 1 pair of wristbands worth 4 AND 1 pair of shoes worth 10
Therefore, 1 guy worth 5 + 1 pair of wristbands worth 4 + 1 pair of shoes worth 10 = 19
Therefore, 19 X 1 wristband worth 2 = 38 (concluding the multiplication aspect)
1 shoe worth 5 + 38 = 43
Therefore, the final answer = 43

[keithbvadu2]

94. I agree with you

I still missed details.

43

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ornotna]

86. The answer is "Drunk Everton Supporter"

He has 3 shoes and 2 Liverpool scarves, he's either drunk or crazy.

[malaise]

91. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

89. This time, I got 60. Or 30. Depends ..

on operator precedence. Whatever that is.

[Ani Yun Wiya]

90. 48

n/t

[Lancero]

92. 43. My brain hurts now.

Edit

1. 3 pairs of shoes = 30, 10 per pair so 5 per shoe.
2. 2 men and a pair of shoes, remove the pair and you're left with 10/2, so 5 per man.
3. 2 sets of ribbions and a man, remove 5 and you're left with 8/2, 4 per set, so 2 per ribbon.
4. And the difficult one, a man wearing shoes with ribbons on his hands. I'm assuming that everything he's wearing would be treated as in parentheses so thats 5, plus a pair of shoes, plus a set of ribbons for 19, times a ribbon to 38 plus a leftover shoe to get 43.

Though ignoring oop (But still assuming that the 'clothed' man would still count as one value) you'd get 48.
