Thanks for participating in this week’s mind bending puzzle. The response has been amazing to say the least. We would love it if you could stay in touch. Please like us on Facebook and Instagram.

Now, here is the the answer; please keep this a secret and let’s have fun watching the others keep guessing.

Cookie, Banana & Clock Puzzle?

Answer:

Look closely and notice 2 things in above picture:

1. No. of chocolate pieces on each cookie
2. Time in clock

Cookie (10 chocs) + Cookie (10 chocs) + Cookie (10 chocs) = 30 ==> Cookie with 10 chocs = 10

2 bananas + 2 bananas + Cookie (10 chocs) = 14

4 Bananas + 10 =14 ==> Banana = 1

2 Bananas + Clock (3 o’clock) + Clock (3 o’clock) = 8

2*1 + 2 Clock (3 o’clock) = 8 ==> Clock (3 o’clock) = 3

Clock (2 o’clock) + banana + banana X Cookie with 7 chocs = ??

Now remember the PEMDAS rule.

Here’s an explanation of the rules given in PEMDAS:

1. P as the first letter means you complete any calculations in grouping symbols first.
2. Next, look for exponents, E. Ignore any other operation, and take any numbers with exponents to their respective powers.
3. Even though M for multiplication in PEMDAS comes before D for division, these two operations actually have the same priority. Complete only those two operations in the order they occur from left to right.
4. Even though A for addition is in PEMDAS before S for subtraction, these two operations also have the same priority. You look for these last two operations from left to right and complete them in that order.

We have already resolved values of each item which is:

Cookie with 10 chocs = 10 ==> it means each choc piece is equal to 1

Banana = 1

Clock with time as 3’o clock = 3 ==> it means if clock is at 1 o’clock value would be 1

So as per equation values would be:

Equation: Clock (2 o’clock) + banana + banana X Cookie with 7 chocs = ??

2 + 1 + 1 X 7 ==> 2 + 1 + 7 = 10

Answer of above puzzle is 10

Did you get it right?
