A friend of mine sent me a puzzle that only people with an IQ over 120 are supposed to be able to solve. It took me about 10 minutes with a paper and pencil. Middle Grandson, D, did it in 5 minutes - in his head. But then he cleaned up on 4th grade academic awards. Here's the test.
If:
2 + 3 = 10
7 + 2 = 63
6 + 5 = 66
8 + 4 = 96
Then:
9 + 7 = ????
I think I've got the answer! So what is it??
ReplyDeleteHow will I sleep tonight??
Multiply the left side of the equation by the first nmber.
ReplyDeletewow that got me for a minute it took me 3minutes to get it but wow thats good XD
ReplyDeleteThe hardest part wasn't even solving the pattern, it was multiplying 16 by 9...which took me like 10 seconds.
ReplyDeleteThat puzzle is easy. 9 + 7 =??? Here are my steps. 1)9+7=16 2)16x9= 144 The answer is 144.
ReplyDeletetoo easy to solve add number of left side and multiply it with the first number i-e add 9 + 7 add nine and seven and multiply it with first number which is 9 and is 16 x 9 =144.
ReplyDeletei did it in less than 1 min
ReplyDelete144, not going to spoil it, thats for you to determine.
ReplyDelete:) done with less than a minute.....
ReplyDelete:) done with less than a minute... :)
ReplyDeletedone with less than a minute..yet don't like to spoil the fun.
ReplyDeletenice one.
ReplyDeleteless then 15 seconds
ReplyDeleteGot another way:
ReplyDelete1.)square first number
2.)multiply first and second numbers
3.)add two answers together
Ex. 2x2=4, 2x3=6, 4+6=10
Did it without calculator in less than 1 min
ReplyDeleteAdd both and multiply with first
ReplyDeleteeg.2+3=5,5*2=10
so 2 +3=10
9+7=15,15*9=135
so 9+7=135
Fristly adding both and Multiply the left side of the first number
ReplyDelete9+7=16 and multiply 16*9=144.
This is really interesting blog. Thanks for sharing such a nice blog.

It's abuse of mathematical notation, even if you insist on a pattern that gives the 144. An engineer calculating like this should avoid the avionics business.
