    This is a good puzzle that I got by email:

    2 + 3 = 10
    7 + 2 = 63
    6 + 5 = 66
    8 + 4 = 96

    Assuming all of those are true,

    9 + 7 = ?

    I am assuming Fiskar and i came to the same conclusion as we have the same answer its the first number + the second number x by the first number
    9+7 = 16 x 9 = 144

    Oh wait

    Hang on, misread one of the numbers

    Came to 160 like this

    (2 + 3) * 2 = 10
    (7 + 2) * 4 = 36 ->suposed to be 63
    (6 + 5) * 6 = 66
    (8 + 4) * 8 = 96
    (9 + 7) *10 = 160
