THEN they changed the forumula! Instead of it going up by "2" it went up by "1". :mrgreen:

10x9=90+8=98?

Well done boxy.

6-1*0+2/2 = ?

6-(1*0)+(2/2) = ?

6-0+1 = 7

Ques­tion:
Start at the cen­ter num­ber and col­lect another four num­bers by fol­low­ing the paths shown (and not going back­wards). Add the five num­bers together. What is the low­est num­ber you can score?

This puz­zle works your exec­u­tive func­tions in your frontal lobes by using your plan­ning skills, hypoth­e­sis test­ing, and logic.

Happy New Year.

I have no new year. Saudi Arabia doesn't really party hard tonight, plus I am working. Enjoy the drinks all. Have 10 for me.

IQ goes up with the beer intake, we all know that, don't we..... :geek:

I don't know why the brackets arn't automatically put in. Always seemed like they were making things unnecessarily confusing. So long since I learned, or used that shit.

Whenever I use math these days, it isnt some abstract brain teaser, so it's obvious when you have to do the multiplications/divisions before the additions/subtractions.

BODMAS brackets,order,division,multiplication, addition,subtraction.
Unfortunately I stumbled on the last hurdle added 6 plus 1 instead of 6 minus as I thought addition had to come before subtraction.
0 1
6-(1*0) +(2/2) =5
