How on earth do you get 72?

Thestrangestthing · 02/12/2019 22:20

No was right the first time 22

Thestrangestthing · 02/12/2019 22:20

Didn't realise it was only one jacket and one shoe, also got the numbers confused

dementedpixie · 02/12/2019 22:21

Its 21 though

dementedpixie · 02/12/2019 22:22

You do 10x2 first then add 1

Thestrangestthing · 02/12/2019 22:23

Why?

dementedpixie · 02/12/2019 22:25

Because it's a maths law that multiplication/division is done before addition/ subtraction

dementedpixie · 02/12/2019 22:27

That's why people are talking about BODMAS

LookImAHooman · 02/12/2019 22:27

BODMAS. Do the multiplication first.

But never mind the actual question:

Cat symbol = 10

This is absolutely the best moment of this thread Grin

Thestrangestthing · 02/12/2019 22:28

No I stand corrected 21 because there are two tops in the third sum!!

UrsulaPandress · 02/12/2019 22:32

I thought it was a cat

rubydoobydoo · 02/12/2019 22:58

1 + (10 ×2) = 21

Without reading the thread!

rubydoobydoo · 02/12/2019 23:00

Read the thread now- cat symbol Grin

orangeicecream · 02/12/2019 23:06
