I think 60 is the funniest of the answers because it means you were sharp enough to catch the one mug and not two, but dumb enough to misunderstand the order of operations.

The answer is 25 and so many people are stupid as frick

Beer mug=2
Bottle= 10
Burger=5

So equation is

5+2x10

so the answer is 25

Put it is a calculator you dumb idiots

The pictures just represent each individual math variable, they could be anything. Come on man.

At least I did the math right



The people who did the simple order of operations wrong are the real knuckle draggers

This is you overthinking the frick out of it. Again, the beer mugs are the exact same. So again, two beer mugs=2x. One beer mug=x.

I am saying that we can not define what the single mug stands for without making an assumption.



And you're wrong. If the mugs didn't look exactly the same, you might have a point.

Occam's proves what I am saying because there is no increase in probability of your definition of a single mug's value. Because your "assumption does not improve the accuracy of a theory, its only effect is to increase the probability that the overall theory is wrong." It could as easily stand for 1 as it could stand for 1,000.
Technically, you are right. But that isnt what they were going for

answer is definitely 15... multiplication at the end 5+(1x10)

Even if a beer mug is 2, I don't need a calculator to solve 5+2x10

Or variable "picture of two beer mugs = X", variable "picture of one beer mug = ?" You can assume its 1/2 X, I'm not gonna assume that.

Like I said, Agree to disagree.

It's a trick question due to using the picture of two mugs and one mug. They tricked you.


You seem like a party pooper.

He is still tech right. Two mugs could stand for 2 as that was defined for us. One mug was never defined. One cant assume with certainty 1 mug =1, as all these objects were assigned values.


However, that wasnt the point of the equation, and he is being a goober arguing so.
