    @Pummy Raj I purposely didn't participate bc I'm terrible at math! It's more embarrassing bc I'm Asian!!  😅 But my answer is 15
  • Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?

  • LauraLMasonLauraLMason Posts: 411 Level 4
    I saw some responses but also did my own figuring! Assuming the cherry makes the cupcake worth 4 my answer is 19.
  • Anne_MartinAnne_Martin Posts: 299 Level 4
    Xarly, are the fish all worth the same whether striped or not?
    The cupcake at the bottom, not the same as the ones above, does it have a different value?
    If the values are different, then it is really to guess. as maths cannot solve it.

    the fish are worth 3, the striped candies 7, the cupcakes in the top 5. The wrapped candy is 10. 
    So, the final line is 10 plus 3 minus 5,  meaning 8
    If the cupcake on the last line has a different value, no one can find the answer,
    Otherwise, final answer, 8.

    or if the fish is worth more when striped, like 3 square, and the cupcake 5  minus 1 for the cherry, 
    then it would be 
    10 +9 -4, or 15

    if the candy on the last line is not a wrapped one, but has a different value....
    well, it has stopped being maths and has turned to pure guessing.
    It has stopped being cute and got rather silly, no?

    Thanks for tagging me, @Pummy_Raj! My answer is 19. 
    @Anne_Martin, it took me a few minutes to figure it out too, but it's almost so obvious that it's impossible! I would tell you how I came to my answer, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to. It might ruin it for everyone.

    it may be obvious in CCS, like a striped fish is a fish combined with a striped, then worth 10 (or 21, 7.3), but the wrapped candy is just weird. You get to say it is worth 13, and 4 for the cupcake, for no reason. Maths don't work like that.
  • Anne_MartinAnne_Martin Posts: 299 Level 4
    ok, I finally see what I did not before. the weird wrapped candy is a fish combined with a wrapped. 
    So, 19, okay.

    I think the answer is 20. It really didn't take too long do the math... I think... LOL... I almost missed the minus, instead of add... 💛💛💛

    15                    9                    21                    20                    -25
              -6                      12                    -1                   -45
                           18                    -13                  -44
                                       -31                    -31
                                                     

                         Differences didn't converge.

    @Xarly

    I will go with -25. This is my Final Answer, right or wrong! As I understand it, in Mathematics,  Number Sequence Series should converge to Zero, otherwise you'll have an infinite sequence of the partial sums.

    Ok I am taking a guess at it.  I say that it's 27.
  • HockyckoHockycko Posts: 159 Level 3
    Our answers are all o over the place lol
    A for effort  for everyone

    if it were multiplying instead of adding, then it could be
    (3x7) +(3x10) - 4= 47
    but why would not the cupcake be 1 or 2?

    which would make it 48 or 49
  • ElsaElsa Posts: 30,993 Superstar
    I don’t know if @Xarly wants us to share how we got our answers here but since @Anne_Martin shared her thoughts then I am going to share how I got 27.  
    The cupcakes are 5 each, 5 + 5 + 5 = 15
    The fish are 3 each
    The striped are 7 each
    next row is fish 3, striped 7 which equals 10 so the wrapped has to be 10 to equal 20
    The final row is:
    fish is 3, wrapped is 10 so I am adding them together to equal 13
    fish is 3 and striped is 7 so add them to equal 10
    cupcake is 5 but it lost the top layer so it should now be 4
    13 + 10 + 4 = 27

    So now discredit my answer!
