I think there are many more wrong answers besides these 3...

As far as I can see there is only one correct answer so far.
Oh, and Troy's reply ^ is correct, too

The suspense is killing me.

I'm off to google or youtube.

5 + 5 x 2 = 15.

my 3 minute calculation sez 19

Someone already got it.

What's the 1st prize, manny?

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.

42.

The answer is 42.

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.

20 is my guess

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

Yup 15. must do the multiplication before the addition.

i missed the times sighn and took it for a plus.....updated answer is 30....

4th grade teacher said you do multiplication and division first then do your adding and subtracting...4x5 plus 10

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...

3 and 3.

The man is wearing 2 boots and holding 2 telescopes.

LOL. Not with my eyes he is not!

i'm figuring....

telescopes=4
eskimos=5
boots=10

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.

I get 17.5

Yup, that's what I got.

5+(19x2)


Easy.

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