The Mint

[PinkFlower]

Last night on the mint there was a number question which was:
ADD THE NUMBERS:
the number of:
wheels on eight taxis
even numbers up to 10
numbers on one dice

any one know? can't seem to find confirmation of the answer anywhere. thanks in advance...was really bugging me i actually tapped to find that they didn't reveal the answer in the end! x
also posted this in quizzes and puzzles to see if i can get a quicker answer!!!

If they haven't yet had the correct answer, presumably it will continue in the next programme but they deliberately make the questions ambiguous - do you include the spare tyres?, does up to 10 mean 10 is or is not included?,...

Well, discounting the fact that you can't have one dice ('dice' is a plural word), I would guess the answer is 58 (32+5+21).

I watched this right to the end and there was no answer a suzyboo says, another thing - are there numbers on a dice or dots. I was infuriated as this was around 4.30 in the morning and presumably this question had been running all night, I think these kinds of shows are disgusting, a complete rip off and prey on vulnerable people. Rant over.

These questions are always obscure

Roman numerals can come into it (X = 10, v = 5 and so on)

The wheels on taxis (steering wheel, spare wheel incl??)

And so on.

And the answers they get given range from 1 to whatever.

I once watched this and left the Sky+ running so I could get the answer, whith about ten minutes of the show to run,they said well no one got that one, didn't give the answer and moved on to the next question.

I have never worked out the answer to any of thes "maths" questions.

The answer is AN OSTRICH SLOWLY FILLING TWO AUSTIN ALLEGROS WITH SUET.

Or something approximately as guessable as that, anyway.
