SUM SUMS MATHS PUZZLE

222

I get 22 (5, 15, 0, 2).

Geez. I got 31.

25/5=5
1 + 2=3 + 3=6 X 4 = 24

12 X 0 = 0

101 - 99 =2

I'm thinking I don't fully understand the question.

If the title is relevant than I think 6 would be the answer as it is the only Sum. The rest are quotient, product, and difference.

Edit: Im gonna go with 0 as 1+2+3 preceeds the *4 and therefore cannot stand alone as an answer; there are no sums to sum.

Ah, but perhaps georgob is right in that "add the numbers" means rather "add the numerals".

Of course one can assume that all the numerals are positive, except as marked (the "-99").

So you could have the sum of 1,2,3,4, 12, 101 and -99, equalling 24.

I say the question is vague.

You mulitply before adding in equations..
1+2+3x4 would be 15

I agree. The question permits two answers, either 24 or 222. The use of the word "numbers" instead of numerals makes 24 the preferred answer as you said.

Scam
It's logic!!! Because they cant blatently lie, you have to think laterally. The question is "add the numbers". This could mean add the digits in the questions (1+2+3+4+1+2 etc), or add the digits in the questions and the answers (1+2+3+4+1+5+1+2), or any number of variations. Twenty five probably doesnt cound as it isnt a number. They probably have hundreds of numbers that it "could" be, and they are waiting until only 1 is left to give the prize. the answers 22, 24 and 222 have all been tried and all other logical ones.

Is part of the clue in the name? It's called "Sum Sums," which could be a stylistic form of "Some Sums."

So, then, are they actually looking for more than one sum as the answer?

My answer.
The sum of all the answers is 22.
25 / 5 = 5
1 +2 + 3 x 4 = 3 + 12 =15
12 x 0 = 0
101 - 99 = 2
5 + 15 + 0 +2 = 22

TWENTY FIVE DIVIDED BY FIVE = five

1 + 2 + 3 X 4 = 15

12 X 0 = 0

101 - 99 =2

Five is a word

add the numbers 1+2+3++4+15+12+101+99=237

add the numbers 1 + 2 + 3 + 4+12+101+99=222

add the numbers 1 + 2 + 3 + 4+12+101+(-99)=24

add the numbers 1 + 2 + 3 + 4+1+2+1+1+9+9=33?

What I get from the puzzle is, it says add the numbers and thats it. the puzzle is called sum sum's but i think its named that just to throw you off so i get 222

They use this sort of puzzle on TV shows to get you to phone in. They are deliberately ambiguous. You can consider some of the letters to be Roman numerals.

its 22.(5+15+2=22)

My gosh, Felicity, you waited exactly three years to give the answer!

TWENTY FIVE DIVIDED BY FIVE=FIVE
1+2+3X4=15
12X0=0
101-99=2

DONT KNOW MATHS A THE ANSWER IS 34

25/5 = 5
1+2+3*4 = 24
12*0 = 0
100-99 = 1
total................30(5+24+0+1).................i guessssss.........izzz da anssss correct

This maths question suffers distincly from bad english.

Errm, there is no right answer, there are many different possible results, 222, 24, 30.

also the answer to 1+2+3*4 could be 24 or 15 (Your supposed to do the multiplication first as in (1+2)+(3*4) not (1+2+3)*4 but bad english could mean bad maths too (and some of you made the same mistake))

in all likelyhood the answer is either 222 or 253 (222+5+24+0+2) or 244 (222+5+15+0+2) since once the sums are answered the numerals of the answers could also be included.

24 is less likely (since the proper sum would be 101 + -98) but not impossible as are 55 and 46 for the same reason as above.

another question that needs to be addressed in this model is does: twenty five devided by five = five or 5. making 41,50, 239 and 248 possible answers.

I could carry on but I think you get the idea.
