Am in the mood to finish the workday week as it began... try this one on. (Big) HINT; it involves observational skill as well as arithmetic.
HOW DID YOU DO?
HOW DID YOU DO?
What about the last equation?
Coconut (2) + apple (10) + bananas (4) = 16. At least that's what many would have concluded.
It’s not that easy! Looking closely at the puzzle we can see that there is only one half of a coconut in the last line, and only three bananas in the bunch.
So actually, the equation is
Half a coconut (1) + apple (10) + 3 bananas (3) = 14.

I have never like those puzzles. Reminds me of the ones in the AARP magazine. Now I love the Magic Eye!

I calculated 16 too, so it must be right!
ReplyDeleteWhat a tease!! I didn't notice the "half of coconut"!!
ReplyDeleteewww that's math ... but nevertheless the mama solved it without seeing the solution... howlelujah! a miracle hahahahaha
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! How quickly I ignored your hint to observe closely. The first time I didn't count the bananas or coconut pieces. We want to take the fastest shortcut too often.
ReplyDeleteThat was a tricky one! Have a happy day and weekend!
ReplyDeletehow tricky!
