So 2+3+3X11 = 88

Unless (2+3)+(3X11)= 38

I think... I don't have that many fingers.

BK911 & Shifter for the win with PEMDAS.

2+3+3x11 = 38

38 here.

2 + 3 + 3 x 11 = 38

(11x3)+2+3=38

They are extra screwing with everyone by not having a symbol stand for a number, but by having particular parts of a symbol add up to a number.

When you had the geometric shapes at the top, there was a square, pentagon and hexagon for a total of 15 sides or 15 points, but in the bottom, you've only got 11. The bundles of bananas at the top have 4 bananas and equal 4, but in the last line, only 3 bananas in the bunch. And the clock is pointing at 3 vs 2.

I made that mistake too, until I thought "if they can change the geometric shapes and the clock to mean something different, then they can do the same with the bananas.

^^^^^^^

Ah, you're right, Steve!!

Thanks!

Yep, 38...

If the clock showing 2:00 in the last line represents the same value (3) as the two clocks above it both showing 3:00, then yes, the answer is 67.

OK, assuming the clock value is 2, the banana value is 3 rather than 4, and I saw that the last figure in the last line only had 11 corners rather than 15 corners like those above it. SOOOOO.......:

15+15+15=45
4+4+15=23
4+3+3=10
2+3+(3x11)=38

LOL, the shapes in the last line are all different from the previous ones ... it is a trap! ;-)

However, the three shapes up top and the double in the last line really means we are all just guessing there is not enough info there. It's a guess that the clock at three being three means the clock at two means two....there is not enough info to confidently answer without making assumptions as to the values.

Too many variables or too few equations unless you ignore the small differences within the symbols.

38 if you follow order of operations: 3x11 + (2+3) = 33 + 5 = 38
