49

Hi

The answer is 2706 but I don't know how to get to it! I'm quite baffled too!

"Pound" and "bar" indicate weight - as in 16oz for a pound and whatever a gold bar weights so maybe it's a trick and you have to use those for numbers too.

first thing that came to my mind was also 49 but thats too simple and i think ^ur correct

I wasn't sure what the question was, but it said to "add all numbers," so I did.

Hi all,

The question was shown on a tv show on a sky channel as a competition. They revealed the answer which is in my message above, but I've not been able to work out how to get there!

I'm a bit puzzled by the phrase "add all numbers!" - specifically why it's not "add all THE numbers"?

Any suggestions would be great!

Cheers

There's 2617 worth of embedded Roman numbers in the text. Adding that to 49 still comes up short by 40.

what about hexadecimal numbers ?
A=10
B=11
C=12
D=13
E=14
F=15

Beside that are you sure you can consider the word "one" as a number ?
I mean, maybe we need just to add the numbers, like roman numbers, hexadecimal,...
