Apparently only people with an IQ over 120 are able to figure it out ...

If:
2 + 3 = 10
7 + 2 = 63
6 + 5 = 66
8 + 4 = 96

Then:
9 + 7 = ????

I have to admit that I had to think about it for about 60 seconds.

Now let's have someone else describe how it's solved...

Sorry, I got this one from another board. Somebody else will have to post one.

it's 144. solved it in about 5 minutes so HIGHLY doubt your "IQ of 120" claim is accurate


basically

9+7 = 16, then 16 x 9 = 144

you add the equation, then multiply the result by the first integer of the equation


those types of "Only IQ's above x can solve this!" only work to make people feel good about themselves. IQ tests are bogus anyway

Got the pattern for the OP here within a few seconds, but I sucked at all of those threads. Every now and then I'd figure one or two of them out and feel like a big smarty, only to read further in the thread and see that it was by far the easiest on the list and that everyone had gotten it within minutes of the original post.

Refresher:

1. 5 P of I T
2. 10 is 2 in B
3. X 360 = Xbox 360 (Answered)
4. 800×600 S R
5. A B and the 40 T
6. 6 Z in a M
7. 22 P on a F F
8. 54 S on a R C
9. 21 D on a S D
10. 4 W in a M
11. The 9 M
12. 12 D of J
13. The D to A C is A 4 L Y
14. 122 S in a C C B
15. 9/11 A
16. J has 62 M
17. 4 L on a T
18. 2 B on a P of S
19. 9 C of H in D I
20. 7 L in the W L

Now all the answers can be googled. Before, it wasn't so easy.

144


the pattern is multiply the first number by the sum of the two numbers...


2 + 3 = 10

becomes

2*(2+3)=10 or 2 * 5 =10

NIfty puzzle.

ROFL. MATH.

being good at math has NOTHING to do with being smart
