They don't tell you how the answer is arrived at and it is a premium rate number you have to call . Only one winner as far as anyone can see.If not , then sorry , no idea how they get that answer .
I'm not claiming it's logical but here we go:
ninety = word not a number = 0
or possibly 90 = 9 x 0 = 0 (since 'ab' in maths means 'a x b')
24 = 2 + 4 = 6
105 = 1 + 0 + 5 = 6 add to the first 6 = 66
- (take it away) = 6
(or possibly 1 x 0 x 5 = 0)
16 + Twelve = 28 add to the six = 628
3 X Two = 6 added to the rest = 6286
