@_aquemini 10+4+2=16 — Steve Mistakevey (@_datpiff37) February 1, 2016
Try working it out before scrolling down. via GIPHY We've worked it out and got the right answer: From the first line we can work out that an apple equals 10. So it's 10 + 10 + 10 = 30. With this information, we know that the next line would then mean a banana equals 4. So it's 10 + 4 + 4 = 18. With those sums already figured out, the third line with the bananas and coconuts would be 4 - 2 = 2. Now, it's the next line that's throwing everyone. They see a coconut plus an apple plus bananas and think the answer is 16 (10 + 2 + 4). BUT, there is only one coconut and three bananas so it's actually 10 + 1 + 3 = 14. So the answer is 14.@_aquemini the answer is 16
