    As far as I can see there is only one correct answer so far.

    Now that I've trolled Dill into copying my fake answer.



    1 man (5) + 2 boots (10) + 2 telescopes (4) = 19. Multiplied by one telescope (2) = 38. Plus one boot (5) = 43.

    5+(19x2)


    Easy.

    seems there are 2 possible answers to this, and one of the answers is in the hundreds.

    when no symbol is present between variables, then you must multiply them rather than add them.

    i'm going with 43.

    btw, fart posted his answer in one of the dog house threads....and is obsessively lurking here.

    shame you can't contribute here, eh fart?

    you're like a mangy dog with its nose up against a window because no one wants it in the house.

    It's 15, I fucked up saying Nev was correct earlier as quickly did 5 +5 then x2 which is wrong. 5 x 2 first then + 5 gives you 15.

    Oh, oh dear...









    ...Why am I not surprised that a humorless dour tool like taxi, a man so inveterately miserable that the only pleasure he derives is from creating schadenfreude-inducing fantasies about other people, doesn't recognize a nod to the humorist stylings of the legendary Douglas Adams.

    I guess it's one of those implied parenthesis things again (which order to do first).

    Next maths brainteaser:

    Other than his vomit-inducing sycophantic fawning and on-his-knees-yes-manning of the nutter Smeg, in his rush to vent his old man spleen, how many other ways does taxi make an utter twat of himself?

    Hint: the answer is more than 1,625...

    Idf that is right, then the answer is 43?

    Man (5) two boots (10) plus two telescopes (4) means the man is equal to 19. Times 2 (telescope) gives 38, plus 5 (shoe) gives 43.

    Good Lord. The sneaky buzzards. I guess that makes the answer 43.
