10+32+18 = 60?

Probably much too obvious and therefore , wrong :)

[Guest mini_man]

Quick reply but alas no sorry!

EDIT: Interested to know how you got 18?

Edited July 31, 2006 by mini_man

[Guest hoopmaster51890]

10+32+12=54 maybe??? i think danwatson1974 was right, this is probably a trick question or sumthin, so im probably wrong lol

[Guest awarner (MVP)]

Now I would have said the sum of all the numbers on the keypad as the other questions are sums of.

So

45 (+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9)

32 (8X4)

12 (4X3)

Total 89

But...........

What if you then needed to include the spare wheels on the taxies?

I that's the case then add another 3 to the total which gives you

92 ;)

Now I need a cut of the winnings :)

[Guest bennish]

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+32+12=89?

damn! awarner just beat me

what about the steering wheels?

Edited July 31, 2006 by bennish

[Guest conan_troutman]

numbers on key pad 10

dogs legs = 32

taxi wheels= 12

or 15 (stearing wheel)

or 18 (as above plus the spare)

so if we add all the numbers you get

1+0+3+2+1+2

or

1+0+3+2+1+5

0r

1+0+3+2+1+8

or if you wanted to really throw it wide open try

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+0+3+2+1+2

or

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+0+3+2+1+5

0r

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+0+3+2+1+8

then when you get a two digit answer do you then add them too till your down to just a single number???

its all bloody con

[Guest mini_man]

*BING* All above are Incorrect

EDIT :Read the hint in the description

[Guest Matt Kirby]

Is the answer 11?

[Guest mini_man]

Your on the rights tracks but no

[Guest Matt Kirby]

I'll go for three then (or maybe four!).

[Guest w411y]

How do you know which answers right Sam?

[Guest chrisvanbrunschot]

I think it either should be 1 (if you only count the NUMBERS) or 3 (if you count the NUMBER and NUMBERS) or 2 and 4 if you also count "add all the NUMBERS"

[Guest conan_troutman]

ok so the actula answer is 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9=

47

sorry typo 45

Clever and good too see your thinking outside the box!

but wrong

[Guest mini_man]

The closest so far has been Matt Kirby with 11 and I can see how he got that number.

HINT: Look within the text

[Guest chrisvanbrunschot]

Then it should be 12

[Guest conan_troutman]

ok as this kind off stuff drives me nuts ( I have a 158 IQ and watched the same show the quizzes are obviously derived by morons as the answers never ever make bloody sense (the great big british quiz I think))

I would have to say the answer is 2

numbers on a dial pad add the numbers = 2

or its 9 (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9=45)

4+5 = 9

other htan that I quit

thats the word numbers twice so the answer is 2

obvoiusly I avoided the 8+3 as thats the 11

but it could be 4+5+8+3=20

but then 2+0=2

so I am back to two again

or 45+8+3 which is 56

but 5+6 is 11 which we know is wrong however 1+1 is 2

anyone confused yet?

[Guest mini_man]

no, read the question carefully and think about all the information you have in that box.

[Guest jonlad]

Is it twelve ?

In the text there is a "one" in phone, an "eight" and a "three".

Answer = 12 ?

Edit:

Or is it thirteen I've just seen another "legs ON Eight..." ?

Edited July 31, 2006 by jonlad

[Guest fluffcat1]

1?(Or possibly 2 if they're being pedantic.)

There is only one instance of 'numbers' inside the box. Does the box mean anything?

Wrong but definetly the closest.

BTW legs ON Eight doesnt have a one because they have to be whole and not shared words.

Your getting close guys

Phil

[EDIT: Method: number of the word number (3) added to eight and three, so 3+8+3=14, but still wrong :)]

[Guest mini_man]

nope, btw wanna here how you guys are working out these answers cos it makes it more interesting.

[Guest Stuart_f]

Why does the Wheels have a capital W?

Does this have something to do with it?
