Re: fruit math
19.5 maybe lol.
The apple with a leaf is 10 since 3 of them make thirty. Now you have a + 8B = 18 in the next line. If I assume losing a leaf decreases the value of the apple with a leaf, a < 10. If I assume B is an integer, the only possibilities for a single banana are 1 or 2. If B=1 then a = 10, but I think it should be less than 10 since it doesn't have a leaf. Therefore, each Banana is 2? and then a = 2 so an apple without a leaf is only worth 2. Moving along...line 3 has 4B - 2CH = 1 Each banana is 2 so 2 coconut halves should be 7. Then 1 coconut half is 3.5? Finally looking at the last line: CH + Apple + 3B = 3.5 + 10 + 3(2) = 19.5 Lots of dumb assumptions and I'm upset with myself for even caring about this to begin with. cry op playing with my heart nvm Last edited by Jtehanonymous; 02-12-2016 at 09:22 PM.. |

Re: fruit math
Still wouldn't be able to solve shit even if you had the apple with a leaf & apple with no leaf swapping places. You would be able to solve the 2nd & 3rd questions sure, but you're leaving 2 variables in the 4th question. (One variable being ??, the other being the apple with no leaf.)

Re: fruit math
idk how to interpret that odd shaped apple
Actually scratch that lemme look at it again Last edited by leonid; 02-12-2016 at 09:39 PM.. |

Re: fruit math
In the new picture
technically, it's impossible to solve for a numerical answer... still. because once again, though there are images similar to each other, they still do not match. meaning they have a totally different(and unknown) value solve for A A+A+A=30 3A=30 (3A)/3=30/3 A=10 solve for B a+B+B=18 a+2B=18 a/2+B=9 B=9-a/2 solve for a a+B+B=18 a+2B=18 a=18-2B solve for C B-C=1 9-2a-C=1 -C=-8+2a C=8-2a solve for c c+A+b=?? c+10+b=?? c+10=??-b c=??-b-10 solve for b c+A+b=?? c+10+b=?? 10+b=??-c b=??-c-10 solve for ?? c+A+b=?? ??-b-10+10+??-c-10=?? 2??-b-c+10=?? 2??-b-c=??-10 2??-b=??-10+c 2??=??-10+b+c ??=b+c-10 You can try and speculate what they may average out to. say, c=C/2 and b=B(3/4), but the apple with no leaf(a) is still nonnumerical meaning we can't solve for anything other than "A=10". Another thing is to solve for zero, which i'll expand on later... in short, there is no 'number' to solve for for now

Re: fruit math
I posted a long system of equations on my previous post--the answer is a function of the value of the leaf.

Re: fruit math
solving for 0
in the new picture solve for A A+A+A=30 3A=30 A=10 Solve for 0 a+B+B=18 a+2B-18=0 B-C=1 B-C-1=0 add a+2B-18=0 to B-C-1=0 a+3B-19=0 now solve for a a+3B-19=0 a+3B=19 a=19-3B then solve for B in the second equation a+B+B=18 19-3B+B+B=18 19-3B+2B=18 19-B=18 -B=-1 B=1 GREAT, got B now solve for a in the second equation a+B+B=18 a+1+1=18 a+2=18 a=16 now back to the third equation solve for C B-C=1 1-C=1 -C=0 C=0 now to the last one which is tricky... lets solve for 10 c+A+b=?? c+10+b=?? c+10=??-b 10=??-b-c and as we know 10=A so A=??-b-c now lets recap... A=10 and 10=??-b-c B=1 C=0 a=16 ... i gotta do my english hw now so i'll continue this ina bit

Re: fruit math
I like how people are making assumptions.
These puzzles trip you into thinking that the point of the puzzle is to make assumptions to reach a certain "solution". I simply reason that any answer within a field is correct, as the last equation contains three images that are unique to that equation. If you also felt the need to "solve" the images values themselves (which isn't strictly required), then the constraint would also be, of course, that your chosen elements also sum to your chosen solution. So pi, 42, a matrix, and an expression that when graphed looks like your mom's chubby ass face are all correct answers.

although i agree that it echoes the sentiment of the much more elegantly phrased

Re: fruit math
continuing this...
now we just need to find b c and ?? the thing is, there's no way to connect b, c, or ?? to the other equations except for A, but A does not appear in anything except the first and last equations; this is where the main problem arises. It nearly makes the second and third equations completely... ahem... fruitless since 10=??-b-c and c+A+b=?? substituting A with it's new solution (??-b-c) in the last equation results in ??=?? c+A+b=?? c+??-b-c+b=?? ??=?? since both sides are equal, there are -infinitely many- solutions. As stated previously in my past posts. i'll look for a loophole in this later, gonna play vidyea games

Re: fruit math
It's time to solve for apple
tl;dr I am 99% sure that the apple used in the equation is a Red Delicious breed of apple, with an elliptical leaf. Go nuts. I can take it one step further and assume the apple is 170 grams (100 calories/perfect apple), but again, that's assumption. Last edited by gold stinger; 02-13-2016 at 03:00 PM.. |
