Flashermac Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Yep, if you "add up the numbers" in the questions they come 18. But if you add in the 1,2,3,4 ... it is 28. The puzzlement is just what the instructions really mean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayjann Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 i missed the beginning of the quiz and don't know how exactly they wanted it worked out. the clock question is the difficult one. did they just mean the 12 #'s or the #'s added up. i done it both ways and came up with answers of 93 or 159. but neither was right. Bust 1 is closest so far with his alternative answer of 126...... well,apart from me of course with my 93.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elef Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 2 more 111 118 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 159 1.....the # of paws on 3 cats 12 2.....a baker's dozen 13 3.....6+2 and then times by 7 56 4.....the #'s on a clock 78 But then again, if it was a Battery powered clock it would probably have 2 AA batteries in it, AA (Hex) is 170 (Dec) giving the answer of 499 Then again it may have been a solar powered clock with a digital display giving us either 3738(for am / pm) or 3960 (24 hour)for the clock part of the equation. 3819 or 4041 could also be demonstrated to be the correct answer, the question in itself is open to question, what type of clock is it, were any of the cats amputues .. etc? With That I dissapear into a puff of logic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elef Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 As you can reach 111 in 2 different ways it must be double correct! :: Mekong, hexadecimal long time since I used it, but AA=170 can also be binary 10101010! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lembeh Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 132? Daft way of doing it if its right. However, as you know the correct answer, it may help you figure it if you work backwards: 1.....the # of paws on 3 cats (This *has* to be 12) 2.....a baker's dozen (this *has* to be 13) 3.....6+2 and then times by 7 (this *has* to be 56) 4.....the #'s on a clock ( and this is the odd one) Therefore, take the number you know (the answer) and subtract 81 (sum of the first three) and what are you left with. When you know that, you can work out how the "numbers on a clock" should be counted... -j- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
