UNLESS— we could say that any polygon is 5, in which case it’s 10 instead of 15

That makes sense. This is what I get for looking at it on a phone screen while holding a squirmy baby - I didn’t even notice the differences!

Just kidding, I did my order of operations wrong, I got 38.

Also I counted the number of corners of the shapes, which equal 15 each for each shape in the first equation, and 11 in the last. Bananas are the number of bananas, clock is the hour hand.

The only answer is that this is unsolvable. We don’t have enough information; you cannot deduce something based on an assumption of what some of the symbols represent.

Or that it is 67. :grin:

Until proven otherwise.

I don’t even know why I wrote anything in here. You’re right. The symbols are messed up, and this is unsolvable. But I’m going to go see if I can confirm that anyway.

It’s like this:
A = 5
B = Y
A + B = C
Solve for X

My brain has already filed the entire thing under Solved. That’s where I put things I didn’t understand but also don’t need to survive. :grin:

Thank you for attempting to explain it. :hugs:
