Yes, boss. I have learnt one lesson today. Its not really being the first to attempt a question, one has to look at it critically and think through it. This is what employers call, " Paying attention to details"

TechCapon:


Shoe = 10

Boy = 5

Ice-cream = 4

Oya do the math and gimme my gift

10 + 10 +10 =30

5 + 5 + 10 = 20

4 + 4 + 5 = 13

5 + 5 * 2 = 15 (bodmas)

COdeGenesis:


Nothing concern the guy with holding cone

1 cone is 2 and two cones make 4

One guy is 5

4 + 4 + 5 = 13

1 shoe is 5


1shoe + (one man * one cone)
Add brackets biko Bodmas
5 + ( 5 * 2) = 15

It is more of a paying attention to details problem than an arithmetic problem

obembet:

5+(2x5)
5+10

=15

Kylekent59:


Oga, my answer is 43.

I am even in my office seriously working. I just got a little break of 30 mins of which I used to look into the question again.

Checked first page no correct answer. Said to drop mine

Shoe = 10

Boy = 5

Ice-cream = 4

10 + 10 +10 =30

5 + 5 + 10 = 20

4 + 4 + 5 = 13

For the last figure
10 + (5 * 4)= 30 (bodmas)
