sayjann Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 caught the end of a Competition on one of the TV Channels and i am confused. you have to answer various questions to win a cash prize. the one i saw went as follows.......... add up these numbers and what is the answer?. 1.....the # of paws on 3 cats 2.....a baker's dozen 3.....6+2 and then times by 7 4.....the #'s on a clock i thought i knew the answer but someone won the cash with an answer which has baffled me. so come on Guys and Gals...........what are your answers. i won't reveal the answer until someone gets it right and then i will ask them to explain how they came to that conclusion.

pe7e Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 3x4=12+13=25+6=31+2=33x7=231+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12=309 In truth there are far too many variables to interpret the instructions in a single way, did all the cats have 4 intact legs? is the clock digital or analogue? does it read am/pm or does it use the 24 hr format? does it have a second display? the list goes on.
