I will say right now that one of the answers is 40!!... However, a second answer is also acceptable..but can you guess what it is? let's see if people can..

19.
The other answers are just wrong. My daughter says 96 though, and she's pretty smart so I'll go with that. --- Growing up, I wish some teacher told me "You probably won't ever need this, but if you don't learn it, you might miss out on something really cool." ... Copied to Clipboard!

Oh, it's even stupider. It's not base 10 or even base 6, so we're just straight up violating arithmetic now.

Also no way does only 1 in 1000 get that question right unless the answer is 19, and the answer isn't even an option.

I see a way to do 96 1 + 4 = 5 5 + 2 =+ 5 = 12 12 + 3 + 6 = 21 21 + 8 + 11 = 40 --- Growing up, I wish some teacher told me "You probably won't ever need this, but if you don't learn it, you might miss out on something really cool." ... Copied to Clipboard!

even that pattern is just yet another way that comes to 96 if you extrapolate properly
21 + 4 + 7 = 32 32 + 5 + 8 = 45 45 + 6 + 9 = 60 60 + 7 + 10 = 77 77 + 8 + 11 = 96 --- Grats to BKSheikah, a guru ahead of his time. http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!

the 96 answer was pretty easy to logic out that is consistent with the established rules, just not the ones everyone is familiar with given the symbols.
I mean, I could type everything in a rotational cipher and being able to puzzle out a meaning from that wouldn't really mean anyone is smart, even if only a few out of a larger amount could, just that they would be able to do the pattern seeking thing that our brains are hardwired for. The ambiguity permitting multiple answers (with varying degrees of cleverness) underscores the fundamental flaw with these sort of 'problems'. There might be a sanctioned official answer, but without more context, one might as well be playing Numberwang. --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out ...

I got 40, don't get the 96 You're multiplying and then adding the first number to the total. 2 x 5 + 2, 8 x 11 + 8. Dumb. --- BK_Sheikah? More like BYIG_Sheikah. http://i.imgur.com/gw03gl7.png - Number of people that D'awwed: 101 ... Copied to Clipboard!

If I can't assume that the + represents an addition symbol, why can I assume the numbers represent themselves? Maybe the answer is each digit is just arbitrary and nothing means anything.
