BuffaloBill Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Think about the title to the thread .... it also leaves open the possiblity that those with less than a 120 IQ can also solve it. It does not say only those with 120 or above can solve the problem. BTW - I solved it in about 2 min - I do not know my actual I.Q. so I will have to now guess that it is north of 120
Joe Miner Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 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

I could come up with a better one in about two minutes that no one here could solve.
Just Jack Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Same thing here. As brain teasers go, that was about as idiotic as they get. I could come up with a better one in about two minutes that no one here could solve. Challenge presented. Any accepters?

John Adams Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 you add the numbers then multiply by the first. I've never been quoted in a sig line before. Bravo to me.
Hammered a Lot Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 5 seconds sober. I'm a Bills supporter, so I know my IQ not over 100.
Jim in Anchorage Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 5 seconds sober. I'm a Bills supporter, so I know my IQ not over 100. Are you going to get a AA pin for that?

The Poojer Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 my answer without looking is 144 its the sum of the addition problem multiplied by the first number.... (9 + 7) x 9 about 10-11 minutes for me....
outsidethebox Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 It took me about a minute. I'm tired.

Tcali Posted February 16, 2010 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! gross...took about 27 seconds...and i aint that bright
