and again

[rabbitearbandicoot]

there used to be a competition on UK radio, where they set a problem and then people dialled in with the answer - anyone who got it right won a big$ prize. ALL the time I was watching / listening I didn't see anyone win it? It may be still on ? It went something like this:

ADD ALL THE NUMBERS

TWELVE TIMES TWO

PLUS SIXTEEN

MINUS SEVEN

At the end of the show they gave out the answer - but I won't tell you yet

did anyone have a go? Can anyone solve it?

lakeland, I think you were on the right track but just got the addition mixed up.

23

[kopenhagen5]

oops, now I think you are right. 27

[kopenhagen5]

confused myself - 37  :^O

33

[kopenhagen5]

How did you get 33?

I think I may have worked it out which means all of the above are incorrect.

[lakeland27]

at the top iy says 'add all the numbers' to me that meant ignore the other instructions, but first up i still followed 'minus 7'
