the mint

[Beohthram]

did anyone watch the mint last night? what was the answer to the question 'ad the numbers'? the numbers were 44, 80, and 96. i make it 220, unless they were being a bit dodgey and meant something else by the way they wrote the question....

[Skellen]

it actually said add all the numbers and 96 was written Ninety six

so i would geuss at 4x4=12 and8x0 =0

but i maybe wrong

[Mattk]

finally ! ive found someone who actually watches the mint.

[Hammer Head]

Excuse me. 4x4=16 not 12.

[Skellen]

well you get the drift :)

There is never any answer that will make any sense on this type of programme. For example, 44 + 80 + 96 does = 220, but if you then add 4 + 4 + 8 + 8 + 9 + 6 you get = 259. Sometimes they also include Roman Numerals, you also get 1, V, X, L, C, D and M. As far as I am aware, no-one has ever got one of these questions right. See also the numerous other times this question has been asked and anwered in Answer Bank.
