THIRTY-SIX MINUS TEN =

3+3+3x3=

5x5x0=

20-15=

add the numbers?

[Denise S.]

Not this rubbish again!!

[puzzlesRus]

The results are :- 26,27,0,5 and when added together the sum is 58.

Is this some kind of trick question ??

[scotstone]

The obvious answer is 46 (3+3+3x3 = 15 multiplication takes precedence over addition) but this will also be wrong as will all the answers provided by gullible viewers. Have you included the roman numerals , is thirty -six 36 + 30 + 6 + IX + I + X etc.

[tomestone]

thirty-six,the roman numerals in the six,is 9.the wording states Thirty-s ix..minus ten,therefore equates to,30-9-10=11.

3+3+3X3,I think is 15

5x5x0=0

20-15=5

total=11+15+0+5=31.

or secondly if you add the numbers in the puzzle you can also find +30+9+10=49

3+3+3x3=27

5x5x0=25

20+15=35

total=126

i tend to think the second one is more relavent to reading the question and adding the numbers.good luck
