0 Guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 False. What're we supposed to do to make this true? :-P Tack on a "-92" before the equal sign? Rules? :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I think if you cross off all the double numbers (the sevens and the threes) then add them up you get 14. 1+6+5+2=14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 16 + 53 + 3 + 27 + 7 = 14 statement is true if left-hand numbers are in base 10 (total 106) and right-hand number is in base 102 (1 * 102^1) + (4 * 102^0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Replacing the numbers with their respective elements based on atomic numbers, you get: S + I + Li + Co + N = Si (Silicon) I don't particularly like this one, since there isn't an actual "question" to answer (unless I'm missing something, which wouldn't surprise me).

0 Guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) Good puzzle. I really liked this one. I was going the entirely wrong way with it. Let's see if anybody was thinking the same way that I was.
