Reveal hidden contents 12 and 21 if 5x5=36 (6x6)or (36-25=11) then 5+5=12 (6+6) and (10+11=21) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 This is an easy one. Reveal hidden contents it is 12. if we consider 5=x then 5*5=36 can be written as x^2=36. and 5+5 as 2x. therefore 2x=12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) I thought 12 at first, but the more i thought of it... Reveal hidden contents if 36 is five fives, then than one 5 is 1/5 of 36, so 5 + 5 would be 2/5 of 36 = about 14.4 In other words if five groups of five is 36, then two groups of five (5 + 5) should be 2/5 of 36 Edited December 3, 2008 by michaelpenta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Prime Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 This number system does not look consistent, somehow. What would be 12*2, and 12*3 in it? What would be 36 - 5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveal hidden contents 12 and 21 if 5x5=36 (6x6)or (36-25=11) then 5+5=12 (6+6) and (10+11=21) think about this. x=5 y=6 x=y (which is untrue, hence the ...ish) x^2=y^2 (which is actually the part of the first question) Then 2x=2y, right? There's your 12 but because x also equals x, you could also think of 5+5 (x+x) which is 10. Then also x+y, which is 11 So you get three answers, 12, 11, and 10. Your idea works also, i guess.

I can understand why you'd think that, and you're right, sort of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
