And apparantly thats not a correct answer...

I got 383 as well but surely there is more to it than that?

I get 383, that's assuming Bodmas is taking precedence and you dont just work them all out in one long sum without brackets...

(55 - 21) + (11 x 25) + (42 + 32) = 383?

Else if the clue is cryptic 'add all the sums' could just refer to the final addition, then the answer would be 42+32=74, since that is the only 'sum', the sum of two numbers?

They lie. Soooo badly.

There are some rings within a graphic.

The answer is say 4 and they argue that the answer is 5.

They justify this by saying, if you look very closely at one ring, it has another one running along inside it.

It quite clearly doesn't.

what was the answer?

186?

How'd you get it?

And if you wanna know why I'm asking, check out quiz TV.

385?

192
