Add the numbers in the Triangle

brightkane · 03-07-2009 12:02am #1

This is wrecking my head, i got 993 and found 10 traingles.

I must be missing out on one as i am told the answer is not correct

anyone get anything else?

thomaskearns · 03-07-2009 12:05am

i got the exact same answer.. im fully sure theres no more than 10 in it... it must be some sort of con... 993 is defo right...

brightkane · 03-07-2009 12:07am

cheers for the reply, tried to google something similar but couldnt find one!

amacachi · 03-07-2009 12:08am

It's the only answer I can see, though they might be looking for ya to add the individual digits. Did someone who got through give 993 as the answer?

thomaskearns · 03-07-2009 12:10am

yeah 2-3 people called in and gave it.... it must be a pure fix

brightkane · 03-07-2009 12:13am

yeah loads have given 993, some answered are mind boggling. 2 mins ago someone did just ryhme off all the numbers

thomaskearns · 03-07-2009 12:14am

if its individual numbers in each one then its 174.. so it has to be 174 since 993 was said to be wrong...

amacachi · 03-07-2009 12:14am

Individual digits.

brightkane · 03-07-2009 12:15am

yeah if there was a space between the numbers we would be looking at it differently... ring in..

sh1t, some1 just said 174!! and its wrong!

thomaskearns · 03-07-2009 12:16am

nope 174 was just said to be wrong.. feck this im going to bed... post the answer here when they give it so i can have a look tomorrow and see how they got it...

brightkane · 03-07-2009 12:18am

dam u, i wanted to go to bed and was going to ask u to do the same!

thomaskearns · 03-07-2009 12:19am

Thats about 5 michaels in a row now!!

brightkane · 03-07-2009 12:20am

Maybe add that to the 993 as well? Or maybe only some of the individual digits count seperately as they're a slightly different font?

dodzy · 03-07-2009 12:22am

Last guy said 77615 :eek: jasus.

amacachi · 03-07-2009 12:23am

Nah, I'm a Shaun.

brightkane · 03-07-2009 12:24am

cant listen to this guy any more but i need to know the anwer before i sleep!

anyone got national school books to get the answer, since he said it came from there!

dodzy · 03-07-2009 12:26am

Screw the cash prize... I say the winner gets to slap the host. Hard.:mad:

brightkane · 03-07-2009 12:27am

hes on a red bull o/d, thats for sure,

are we agreed 10 triangles?

dodzy · 03-07-2009 12:31am

1 x 5
4 x 1
3 x 2
2 x 3

Yup. Unless i'm pissed, I make it 10

thomaskearns · 03-07-2009 12:34am

HAQ.. i just remember i have sky plus.. *record* i'll be seeing you in the morning mister answer.. here i come bed!!

Tar.Aldarion · 03-07-2009 12:36am

No, there are more than 10 triangles. Just count em. or are there? muahahaha
Also where is this 993 and 174 stuff coming from, are we not literally adding the numbers? What is going on?

brightkane · 03-07-2009 12:36am

How many is there Tar?

Tar.Aldarion · 03-07-2009 12:38am

Only messing didnt try it let apart from jsut adding the numbers, which is what we are meant to do??? Where are these crazy answers coming from. Is this from one of the channels that have crap like, where theya re just tricking you up on words? Ah I see now.

brightkane · 03-07-2009 12:40am

we make it there are 10 triangles in total in that main traingle, add up the numbers in each brings u to 993, but its wrong,

dodzy · 03-07-2009 12:40am

Come on Tar, where ? and the 993 is based on the x10 triangles combo. I'm guessing that the 174 is individual digit combos.

drco · 03-07-2009 12:42am

993 seems to be correct but there are technically more than 10 triangles

Headspace · 03-07-2009 12:43am

I count 10 where are the noot so obvious triangles

Tar.Aldarion · 03-07-2009 12:44am

If there are more than 10 then the 993 number changes based on that method. You can give lots of answers here, such as the number being 42 etc.

Greenmachine · 03-07-2009 12:45am

I can't make my mind up between 914 and 708.

drco · 03-07-2009 12:47am

if you think of the triangles as overlaid pieces of paper, then for example the number 25 is on its own triangle with 34 lying on top of it. When looked at that way there are several more. But he says not to count any number more than necessary - what does that mean

You could not give that as an answer.

thomaskearns · 03-07-2009 12:48am

the only triangles i can see are obviously the one as a whole and then the ones in the pic below.. each colour represents a different one and it makes ten.. i cant see any others?? where are the others Tar??

Tar.Aldarion · 03-07-2009 12:49am

I'd have to see the show to know what's going on. I did one of these before on some channel and the answer was stupid.

actually ya could cause he says dont double count... so if ya treat each one as a single digit and add them it makes 42 as each is in a triangle and ya cant count them twice...

Klim · 03-07-2009 12:52am

This is the biggest con seen since scientology. Honestly, they put up seemingly simple looking visual picture, charge people €1.50 to even ring up, (when people are gonna b p****d), and it turns out to be the most cryptic, misleading thing you've ever seen, and they show you for a fleeting second how they got it. Kerching!

ring me up and say 10 and 42. I'll charge you 1.50 and you win!!!

PK1983 · 03-07-2009 12:54am

I counted only 9 triangles, the shape with 25 is not a triangle, if you are counting that.

here ya go Tar. The winner gets the key to the small the lock on her belt;)

brophya2007 · 03-07-2009 12:54am

Do they think that 34+43 and 51+78 are Triangles maybe?

brightkane · 03-07-2009 12:55am

could it be

1+2+3+4+5+7+8 ?

30 ?

using each number only once?

..with 4 sides ?:rolleyes:

Axwell · 03-07-2009 12:57am

My answer was 42 aswell at this stage i just wanna know so i can go to sleep!!

They can make it whatever answer they want.They have no rules and are there to make money. So it is just some obscure answer

See post #20 PK. Are you missing the large one by any chance ?;)

EDIT: he keeps referring to primary books !

drco · 03-07-2009 12:59am

25 could be in its own triangle - just lift off the other 4 small triangles and 25 is left within the large triangle.... if this is national school there are some smart kids out there

brightkane · 03-07-2009 12:59am
