Family What’sApp group have been debating this all day with several different answers! Any takers?

Grandmamaoftwo Sun 29-Mar-20 16:24:00

I think it's
1 x trainer = 5
1 x man = 5
1 x tie = 2
Answer 12

Callistemon Sun 29-Mar-20 16:24:03

There are no brackets

Elderflower2 Sun 29-Mar-20 16:24:17

Teach me to click on picture to enlarge hmm

GracesGranMK3 Sun 29-Mar-20 16:24:19

You are right Gillybob.

My last line should have read

(1/2 a pair of trainers) 5 + (man) 5 x (1/2 pair of zips) 2 = 20

Very sneaky :-)

Callistemon Sun 29-Mar-20 16:24:33

Look at the man in the last row Grandmama

Callistemon Sun 29-Mar-20 16:25:06

Just double click Elderflower

gillybob Sun 29-Mar-20 16:25:13

Can’t make the picture any bigger on my phone so if the guys wearing a pair of shoes then 40 .

GracesGranMK3 Sun 29-Mar-20 16:25:47

Grandmamaoftwo it's times the zip/tie whatever.

Callistemon Sun 29-Mar-20 16:26:06

5 + 5 + 10 + 4 = 24 then multiply by 2 = 48

This was in our family WhatsApp group yesterday and definitive answer is 43. 2 things are important - BODMAS rule and what man in last row is wearing and and carrying. I’ll post explanation if anyone wants

gillybob Sun 29-Mar-20 16:27:43

Just opened it on a larger screen .can now see the little man holding the sausages , wearing shoes grin

Grannmarie Sun 29-Mar-20 16:27:53

Remember to multiply first...

2× the man and all he is holding/ wearing, then finally

+. 1 shoe smile

GracesGranMK3 Sun 29-Mar-20 16:27:53

If the guy is wearing a pair of shoes I am never going to be able to see them. If he is then it's 40 if not then 20. Yes?

gillybob Sun 29-Mar-20 16:28:10

So 48 ?

Farmor15 Sun 29-Mar-20 16:28:57

43 (In post it looks like 43.2)

Grannmarie Sun 29-Mar-20 16:30:15

GG MK3, I had to really enlarge the man on my phone, and put on my 'best' glasses, to see the details !confused

Smileless2012 Sun 29-Mar-20 16:30:25

38

1 Trainer = 5 + 5(man) + 10(trainers he's wearing) + 4(straps he's wearing) = 19

19 x 2 (1 strap) = 38

Joelsnan Sun 29-Mar-20 16:30:50

92

Grandmamaoftwo Sun 29-Mar-20 16:31:08

Sorry is it 40?
1 trainer 5 + man 5 = 10
× 1 tie 4 = 40

GracesGranMK3 Sun 29-Mar-20 16:31:23

Did you right this Grannmarie. I hadn't seen he was holding anything!

GracesGranMK3 Sun 29-Mar-20 16:31:35

write!

Callistemon Sun 29-Mar-20 16:32:31

Remember to multiply first...
yes, sorry, Granmarie is right

Callistemon Sun 29-Mar-20 16:34:13

43

Grannmarie Sun 29-Mar-20 16:34:34

Do we agree that the man is wearing 2 shoes, 2 wristbands and holding 2 wristbands?

That equals 23. ?

Callistemon Sun 29-Mar-20 16:35:04

I did have an optician's appointment but it was cancelled!
