If this is the normal sort of add the numbers question, then the answer is assuredly not 22.

For example it is arguable that the first line doesn't contain any numbers, only letters.

Alternatively (or additionally) the first line contains some roman numerals - exactly how many and what they are depends on how you divide them up and whether you reuse for example the I in several numbers (I, IV,VI, etc).

What about the numbers 1 2 3 and 4 in the second line - do you add these instead of or as well as the result? If so how many combinations of them do you use?

and so on

There are so many possible variations that stumbling on the one the quiz master has decided on (assuming he even added it up right in the first place) is a matter of chance.

If you have the answer it can be quite a challenge if not impossible to wotk out how it was arrived at.

It may not be important but the question says add the numbers not add the answers ?
in that case could 252 could be a result

[Lyndq]

I believe the answer is 268.6, but I can't phone because I don't live in the UK.

Good luck

If it�s not that one, it could be 70.6

My husband says 1811

[Lyndq]

Now we think its 1613

[Lyndq]

1811 is out!

[Lyndq]

I think 1607.6 or 1805.6

[Lyndq]

Now we think 1638

[Lyndq]

Could also be 1632.6 or 1830.6

There are so many combinations:
