ieatcrayonz Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 If: 2 + 3 = 10 7 + 2 = 63 6 + 5 = 66 8 + 4 = 96 Then: 9 + 7 =???? The answer is 144 but no cheating! Any chance your CPA friend filmed the 15 minutes of glory you spent on this problem and posted it on Youtube? Please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in Chicago Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 If: Did not time myself but probably took 30-40 seconds to figure it out. Now that I have, I will proclaim that only people over 150 IQ can solve it in less than 40 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el Tigre Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I still haven't figured it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 You don't come across as stupid. Sitting around in underwear all day, drinking beer and watching SpongeBob tends to throw you off the trail... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodBye Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I knew it almost as soon as I read the second line. Anytime you see 7 and 63 together you gotta think 9. 7+2 isn't that big of a brainbuster. A quick check with the first line, and I really didn't need to bother to check the last two. Also: Guys + Math /= Ladies What does Girls + Math = ? I got it in less than a minute. I also work with numbers all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer is 144 but no cheating! figured it out in 1 1/2 minutes......add the two numbers and multiply it by the first number.....FWIW, my IQ was 145 when tested back in high school, but that was thousands of alcoholic beverages ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
