five if it is not a trick question
Question Author

It is a trick question wendy


the other 3 questions in the puzzle is


1+2+3*4 =


12 * 0 =


101 - 99 =


The answer is not 31


Please let me know what u think it is


Thank for your help

I don't think anything other than that this is a con designed to separate mugs from their money on premium rate phone lines.


Why do I think this?


If you look at the words twentyfive divided by five you will see there are roman numerals there


iv in twentyfive to start with. Now is that 4, or 1 and 5, or both.


Apart from the e, divided is all roman numerals. Where do you split them up, and how many times can you use each one in doing so?


You can ask similar questions about the other lines.


The permutations are so many that coming up with 'a' correct answer is easy - coming up with 'the' correct answer ain't.


Even when you know the answer you'll have a job working out how they arrived at it, and there's no guarantee they will use the same method next time.
