Post by Hoogie » March 15th, 2010, 8:06 pm

If:
1+2=3
4+5=36
6+4=60
8+6=112

What is:
11+6 =

Research has shown that only people with a IQ above 120 can solve this, so don't feel bad if you can't.

a+b = ab + a^2

11+6 = (11)(6) + (11)^2

11+ 6 = 187.


I win.

No, my way and Infinites way are exactly the same. Infinite just chose to show you the equation in its expanded form, whereas I used the simplified version.

That, again is exactly the same just using letters as equations:

c + d = x
c = a^2
d = ab

a^2 + ab = x

I think we can stop talking in this color now as it is incredibly annoying and if somebody is reading this low in the topic they already know the solution.
