How to solve this brainteaser
laila [671]

Answer:

last row equals 333

Step-by-step explanation:

The clock showing time 9:00 should be worth 9 points, and the clock showing 3:00 should be worth 3 points, giving for the first row:

9 + 9 + 3 = 21

the three equal calculators showing 1234 are worth 10 points each:

1+2+3+4 = 10

and 10 + 10 + 10 = 30

the light bulbs should be 15 points each then giving 15 + 15 - 15 = 130 - 15 = 15 Notice also that they all have 5 rays of light coming out (so a 3 points per ray)

Now for the bottom line we have:

9 + (1+2+2+4) times 3 * 12 (only four rays on each bulb thus 4 * 3 = 12)

Notice we added the figures that appear in the calculator.

9 + 9 * 36 = 333
