I believe that the answer is 53 because: 11 x 2 + 32 - 21 + 5 x 3 + 5 x 1 = (11 * 2) + 32 - 21 + (5 * 3) + (5 * 1) = [22 + 32] - 21 + [15 + 5] // Multiplication has a higher order of operation than addition and subtraction - which has the least = 54 - 21 + 20 = 74 -21 // I've added 54 to 20 coz addition has a higher order of operation than subtraction = 53 On 31 December 2010 15:07, Claire Njoki <clairenjoki@gmail.com> wrote:

Well @Tony
If that is how it was put *ADD UP*, then shame on Claire. 120 is the answer Hahaha.

Back to the fundamentals. We often miss out on the instructions. I noticed that with the scam-show on telly, the expression displayed on the screen often has no co-relation with what the scam targets are required to do. In one case similar to what's being discussed here, the instruction was " Simply *ADD UP* all the numbers on display" -- no fancy theatrics. You know how much of a game changer that is! _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Rules http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 ------------ Other services @ http://my.co.ke
