Brain Quiz






A quick brain tickler.




Please look at the maths below:
They say only people with an IQ with 120 and over are able to figure this out.





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



Then:



9 + 7 = ????


HEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP.


Pls

This is exactly how worked it out, too. Methinks the answer is 122?!

Looking forward to finding out others say here.

Kind regards, Si

Hi.

I agree with Marv, but don't agree with either Simon's or Helena's suggested answers for 9 + 7 = ???.

They need to check their maths, I think.

Just worked it out for myself, and I can see from the clues I have calculated it correctly ! Gross negligence if I hadn't ! ;o)
