148.5, although
as kermit points out, one "bears" :P :
Sally bear and her 5 sisters are having a picnic. Sally brought her boyfriend and he brought 32 mates. Sally's sisters brought 12 mates each and when they got there. they met half as many bears again. Big picnic.
We have already been told that it is not 1 anyway
1+5+1=7
+32=
39
+
5*12=60
=
99
(92/2=46)
therefore
99+46=145.
145 the right answer?
Sally Bear is her name, so only her and her sisters (assuming they are not married) will have the last name Bear.
so them, plus half again
6+3=9
(although... that may be cheating )
Touché!
1.5 ? sally bear, plus a half of her, never says the others are bears?
Sally +bf =2 +32(mates) =34
5 sisters 12 friends each (5 x 12) =60
60 +34 =94
94/2 = 47
94 +47 = 141
yeh...
1 + 5 + 1 + 32 + (5*12) + (5*12)/2 = 129
whats the prize anyway? Those quiz channel things really bug me.
That's alright buddy, great minds think alike! Plus I owe you for the name change many moons ago :yippe:
Half as many again = 6+3
total=15
where are you getting 15 from?
then they meet half as many bears again = 3
so together they total 9?
correct
it's counting them twice that yields 6+3+6 = 15
you dont I think they were counted twice by mistake!
9 is half as many again as 6
so my answer stands at 15
